      It seems many Car Dealers are being Culled which will affect us on Motability as for one I choose my Car that has a dealer close as possible but it seems it maybe a big problem if after getting your car the dealer shuts down and the next maybe miles away. I also see BYD in china some dealers have gone bust so we need to keep an eye on chinese built cars as they already have thousands of written off cars in undergrowth as the Chinese Govt is as we know putting state money into mass everything production will it all be shut down if the losses are high. There is a Chinese guy on youtube that says Chinese built cars are very fragile and parts not good. So when my lease comes up although tempted by there cars I will stick to euro built cars, that being said BYD new Surf or Seagull as in China is being produced in Hungry so whether it is true about quality is in reliability.  Marshall Motor Group is experiencing a period of dealership closures, impacting both Volkswagen and Peugeot franchises. Specifically, Volkswagen dealerships in Horsham and Aylesbury are closing, while several Peugeot dealerships across the country are also at risk of closure due to Stellantis terminating its contract with Marshall. These closures are expected to lead to job losses for affected staff.

        Don’t get stuck in the idea the dealership has to be the same brand as your car.

        Contact motability when you have and issue and see if they offer an alternative based on your needs .

        When my last car needed adblu the VW dealer is 20 miles away but I was able to go to the local Hyundai dealer for the top up.

        Same with general servicing. There is no rules that say you have to go to the same brand dealer to maintain your service history as long as standards are met. See if motability would let you go elsewhere.
