JCB Group Expands Volkswagen Presence in Kent with Acquisition of Canterbury Volkswagen.

We are delighted to announce the acquisition of the assets of Euro Canterbury Volkswagen’s Volkswagen Passenger Car business, TPS Centre, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Authorised Repairer and Suzuki Aftersales Speicalist operations.

 

  • This exciting development marks another significant milestone for our family-run business and further strengthens our position as one of the leading Volkswagen retailer groups in Kent. The acquisition expands our Volkswagen network and allows us to provide even greater support to Volkswagen customers across Canterbury, Kent and the surrounding areas.

    Located on Broad Oak Road, the newly acquired site will now operate as JCB Volkswagen Canterbury, becoming our fifth Volkswagen Passenger Car location in Kent. The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Authorised Repairer operation will be renamed JCB Van Service Centre Canterbury.

    The addition of Volkswagen Canterbury to our network reinforces our commitment to providing county-wide representation for Volkswagen in Kent. Alongside our existing Volkswagen retailers in Ashford, Medway, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells, JCB Volkswagen Canterbury will offer customers access to new and used Volkswagen vehicles, servicing, MOTs, repairs, genuine Volkswagen parts and manufacturer-trained technicians.

    The acquisition also includes Canterbury TPS, establishing the JCB Group as the only TPS Trade Parts Specialists representative in Kent. This strengthens our ability to support independent garages, bodyshops and trade customers throughout the county with genuine Volkswagen Group parts and expert support.

    In addition, the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Authorised Repairer operation enhances our position as Kent’s only dedicated Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle specialist for both Sales and Aftersales support. Through JCB Van Service Centre Canterbury, we will continue to support local businesses and van customers with servicing, maintenance, repairs and specialist commercial vehicle expertise. This site is also home to a Suzuki Aftersales Specialist, providing expert servicing, genuine parts and aftersales support for Suzuki owners.

    While the acquisition strengthens our Volkswagen presence in Kent, it is equally about people. We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues in Canterbury to the JCB Group. Having operated as neighbouring businesses for many years, we already share a commitment to outstanding customer service, professional excellence and strong community values.

    Jonathan Bischoff, Owner and Managing Director of the JCB Group, said:

    "We are delighted to welcome the Canterbury teams into the JCB Group family. This acquisition represents another important step in our long-term vision of providing county-wide representation and outstanding customer service across Kent."

    "We look forward to building on the strong reputation already established in Canterbury and continuing to support Volkswagen customers throughout the region. By bringing together great people, strong businesses and shared values, we are creating an even stronger future for Volkswagen customers across Kent."

    As we begin this exciting new chapter, our focus remains on delivering the exceptional levels of customer care, expertise and service that Volkswagen drivers and businesses expect. We look forward to welcoming customers to JCB Volkswagen Canterbury and JCB Van Services Centre Canterbury and continuing to provide trusted Volkswagen sales and aftersales support throughout Kent.
