Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles opens new site in St Albans

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) has opened a new site in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

The new site offers a range of VWCV products as well as approved used vans, with test drives and physical sales available by appointment.

The new facility also features seven service ramps, an MoT facility, and will operate a Mobile Service Clinic.

VWCV’s Mobile Service Clinics allow technicians to carry out service work, inspections, A/C servicing, MoT repairs, minor warranty work, and software updates remotely.

Citygate Automotive, which will operate the new commerce site, is a long-term partner of VWCV with two other Van Centres in Colindale, North London and Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire.

Sarah Beattie, network development manager at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “Citygate has been a long-standing partner of the brand and we are delighted to expand our network of Van Centres with this new site in St Albans.

“We work tirelessly to ensure we can provide the best service possible to our customers with flexible servicing options and extended opening hours in all our van centres and this site will now expand our reach even further.”

VWCV was named the most reliable van manufacturer in the 2021 FN50 reliability survey.

Jonathan Smith, Citygate Automotive chief executive officer, said: “We’re delighted to expand our network of van centres with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles with a new facility in St Albans.

“This new site will support local customers with a range of new vehicles and used Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles products, as well as the full servicing options including MoT and a fully operating Mobile Service Clinic.”

The new Citygate facility brings the total Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles network to 63 Van Centres and 33 Authorised Repairers.
