Sparks Commercials opens used truck centre and new workshop in Swindon

As part of a £1 million investment in its Swindon site, and in partnership with Renault Trucks, Sparks Commercial Services has launched its first used truck centre.

Following its acquisition of the Swindon site and purchase of adjoining land in 2015, Sparks’ total refurbishment of the dealership is complete. It includes a new, state-of-the-art drive-through workshop, and the introduction of sales of used trucks and LCVs.

Sparks Swindon will sell all used models from 2.8 up to 44 tonnes in capacity, with 10-15 vehicles in stock at any one time, as well as instant access to Renault Trucks’ nationwide stock. A smaller selection will be available from its Portsmouth site.

Director Julie Spark says: “This exciting investment and development in our Swindon dealership allows us to significantly widen the choice of products and services on offer to both existing and new customers.”

The used truck offering includes customised financial solutions plus aftermarket support including repair and maintenance contracts, extended opening hours and MOT preparation.

Sparks Commercials has also recruited Lee Murrell, a used truck specialist, to launch and grow the business.

The dealership proposes further investment for 2018 in Swindon, including launching a new ATF MOT lane and 24-hour opening times.
