Digital focus at new Essex van workshop

Bristol Street Motors Harlow has invested more than £600,000 to create a state-of-the-art van service centre.

Customers arriving at Bristol Street Motors service centre on River Way, in Harlow, will drive through automated doors onto floor sensors that will assess their tyre tread, inflation and quality. Receptionists will then take the keys and transport the vehicle into the 20-ramp service centre.

The new service centre has enabled the creation of 24 new jobs – including two new ‘electro’ apprentices, who will receive additional training on electric vehicles, alongside the usual technician courses, setting them up for a lifelong career in the automotive sector.

The centre will specialise in Vauxhall, Citroen, and Peugeot servicing, but all major brands will be catered for, including electric, hybrid and ultra-low emissions models.

It is part of Bristol Street Motors’ ongoing investment in Harlow. The Peugeot dealership, also on River Way, is currently being refitted to become a multi-franchise location, offering Vauxhall, Citroen, and Peugeot sales. The work there is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022.
