Jonathan Djanogly, joined director Simon Murkett and staff for the official opening of Murketts’ new Vauxhall dealership in Stukeley Road, Huntingdon, this week. The Vauxhall name returns to Huntingdon after an absence of more than five years, during which time it was located at St. Ives. The new state of the art dealership shares the prominent Stukeley Road site with Murketts’ BMW and MINI servicing and after sales centre, which recently launched its Think we’re expensive? Think again low cost servicing campaign for BMW and MINI owners. The launch comes during the same week as the welcome announcement that parent company General Motors will be retaining ownership of the Vauxhall / Opel brands in Europe, putting an end to the uncertainly surrounding the marque in the UK. And the highly acclaimed new Astra looks set to remain one of Britain’s best-selling cars when it goes on sale at Murketts on December 11. “I am really pleased that Murketts and Vauxhall are doing so well and it’s reassuring to see the company investing in its future in Huntingdon during these testing times,” commented Jonathan Djanogly. “Murketts Vauxhall has come home to Huntingdon, but we have never really been away. Although our St. Ives branch has recently closed, we can still offer Vauxhall owners in this area a genuinely ‘local’ service, with collection and delivery and free courtesy cars for service customers,” added Simon Murkett.
