The centre offers sales of new and used Volkswagen vans and people carriers, an aftersales service selling parts for all Volkswagen Group vehicles, plus servicing and MOT facilities.  

The new Van Centre shares a city centre location with the Volkswagen passenger car showroom on Saint Margarets Way, Leicester. It has its own 170 m² showroom, big enough to display three vehicles, plus four service bays available in the workshop. Bodyshop repairs are also offered via a separate workshop on an alternative site.

Sean Booth, managing director of the new centre, said: ‘Leicester is a busy city with plenty of van drivers and businesses, so we are expecting our new Van Centre to be very popular both for servicing and sales of new and used vehicles.’

Simon Elliott, director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, added: ‘It is always a pleasure to open a prestigious new Van Centre, especially here in Leicester as it expands our nationwide network to cover a new area and offers Volkswagen standards of service to more customers.  We’re sure this new Van Centre will quickly be very popular and prove to be a big success.’
