SsangYong has expanded its dealer network, adding Purbeck Motors as a partner in Dorset. Trading since 1950, Purbeck is part of the Wool & Bovington Motors Group and was founded by World War II veteran Major W.R.S Pyne and his son Robert.

The group is now in its fourth generation of the Pyne family and still holds customer service to an incredibly high standard. The new showroom, with both sales and aftersales facilities for SsangYong customers, is located in Stoborough and is open with immediate effect.

The showroom provides a space for customers to browse the brand’s award-winning model line-up, including the Rexton, Korando, Tivoli and Musso pickup. A SsangYong aftersales centre also offers servicing, MOTs, repairs, approved parts, and accident repairs approved to BSI standards. The centre is a comfortable environment where customers can enjoy refreshments and free Wi-Fi.

“We are very happy that Purbeck Motors are joining our franchise,” said Kevin Griffin, managing director at SsangYong Motors UK. “With extensive knowledge, excellent motor industry experience, and a strong customer-centric ethic, we know that customers will be taken care of at Purbeck. We are very much looking forward to working with the Purbeck team, and we welcome them on board.”

Richard Custard, general manager of Purbeck Motors, added: “Our partnership with SsangYong is a fantastic opportunity and one that we really want to make the most of with the brand. Our customers and their needs are paramount to everything we do, and we are excited to be able to offer quality, reliable SsangYong vehicles and parts to our customers. We join at an exciting time, just as the brand launches a facelift Musso, Rexton and Tivoli, as well as the brand-new Torres early next year. We look forward to welcoming our customers into the showroom, where they can experience the vehicles for themselves and browse the wonderful offers that we have available.”
