A cluster of motor service departments in Mansfield are opening to repair vehicles belonging to emergency services, critical utilities or people classed by the government as key workers.

The dealerships are:

Bristol Street Motors Mansfield Renault, Southwell Road West, Mansfield

Bristol Street Motors Hyundai Mansfield, Southwell Road West, Mansfield

Vertu Volkswagen Mansfield, Chesterfield Road North, Mansfield

Vertu Honda Mansfield, Sovereign Way, Mansfield

Anyone classed by the government as a keyworker, or vehicles such as utilities, emergency services and food and necessary goods distributors will be able to access servicing and repairs. Where possible this will be extended to vulnerable people who need to stay mobile.

Robust hygiene and social distancing procedures remain in place to protect customers and colleagues, which include thoroughly cleaning the control surfaces of all vehicles before and after handover.

Robert Forrester, chief executive of Vertu Motors plc, said: “Although our dealerships are temporarily closed for vehicle sales and routine servicing and repairs, like many businesses we are doing what we can to assist key workers, the most vulnerable and crucial logistics. The dealerships are providing servicing and repairs to keep these people in Mansfield and the surrounding area on the road.”
