Motor Trader The award-winning and longest running UK magazine for car retailing professionals. Your first stop for News, Jobs and Reports for the motor industry.
Vauxhall and Citroen dealer J Davy in Basingstoke is holding an open day on 1 July to promote its new warranty packages provided by Warranty Solutions Group.
Attending on the day will be Ben Collins, best known formerly as the Stig for BBC’s Top Gear.
Doors open at 10.30am and he will be available for meet and greets, photo opportunities and autographs until 7pm.
J Davy is giving away a free two year warranty worth £549 with every used car purchased over that weekend or a £1,000 discount on any brand new model.
Every driver will be offered a free vehicle health check inspection to prepare their current car for stress-free motoring this summer.
There will also be a free barbecue, charity car wash and a raffle with lots of great prizes including personalised signed Ben Collins books.
All proceeds from the raffle are being donated to Spotlight UK – a charity that provides emotional and practical support to children and young adults in need across Hampshire and Berkshire.
Mark Foakes, J Davy general manager, said: “We are over the moon to have Ben with us for the day. He’s not just an incredible driver but a superb personality too.
“We know visitors are going to love meeting him and hearing his fascinating racing stories. It’s definitely going to put J Davy on the map.”
“J Davy is a fantastic dealer that always goes the extra mile for their customers. I’m really excited to be supporting their business with this event and of course helping to raise lots of money for such a worthy cause. It’s going to be great fun.”
