JCB Group Welcomes Volkswagen Maidstone & Škoda Maidstone to the Family
We are proud to announce that the JCB Group is now the official owner of Volkswagen Maidstone and Škoda Maidstone, marking another exciting milestone in our continued growth across Kent and the South East.
Both dealerships will now be known as JCB Volkswagen Maidstone and JCB Škoda Maidstone, and are located at South Aylesford Retail Park, Wood Close, Aylesford, ME20 7UB.
As a family-owned and family-run business since 1998, the JCB Group is proud to remain one of the few independent motor retailers of its kind in today’s automotive industry. Growth through strong manufacturer partnerships and exceptional customer care has always been at the heart of what we do, and this acquisition reflects that commitment.
We are delighted to welcome the existing Volkswagen and Škoda Maidstone teams into the JCB Group and look forward to working together as part of our growing network. This acquisition represents our first Škoda dealership in Kent, joining our established Škoda sites in Worthing and Crawley. It also strengthens our long-standing relationship with Volkswagen, a brand that continues to lead the market as the UK’s number one volume manufacturer. The continued growth of Škoda, supported by an expanding range of EV and ICE models, makes this an exciting time for both brands.

Jonathan Bischoff, Managing Director of the JCB Group, commented:
“Our group strategy, aligned with our manufacturer partners, is to represent as many locations as possible across the Kent and Sussex counties. The acquisition of Maidstone Volkswagen and Maidstone Škoda is a perfect fit with that strategy, and we very much look forward to welcoming both teams into the group.”
The addition of these dealerships brings greater clarity and cohesion to our presence across the South East. Alongside JCB Volkswagen Ashford, Medway and Tunbridge Wells, JCB Volkswagen Maidstone further strengthens our footprint across Kent, with Maidstone being the county town and largest town in the county.
Customers of Volkswagen and Škoda Maidstone can be assured that the transition will be completely seamless, with all existing services, warranties, and points of contact remaining unchanged — just with the added support and expertise of the wider JCB Group behind them.
If you have made contact with either site over the last week or so, regarding sales or aftersales services, please bear with us whilst we switch computer and telephone systems. We will be in touch as soon as possible.
We look forward to welcoming customers to JCB Volkswagen Maidstone and JCB Škoda Maidstone very soon!
