Kingsbridge-based Quay Auto Centre, a family-run dealer since 1932, adds the KGM franchise to its offering. Read about this strategic move for the South West.

Historic Devon Dealership Joins Growing KGM Network

Quay Auto Centre, a cherished family-run car dealership in Kingsbridge, Devon, has officially become the latest retailer to partner with KGM Motors UK. This significant move signals a new chapter for the long-established business as the South Korean brand continues to expand its footprint across the country.

A Legacy of Local Trust Since 1932

With a history dating back to 1932, Quay Auto Centre has remained in the same family for over nine decades, building a formidable reputation in South Devon for dependable service, expert repairs, and exceptional customer care. The dealership has traditionally specialised in new and used Suzuki models, and the addition of the KGM franchise marks a strategic expansion of its manufacturer partnerships.

'A Dynamic Range for South Devon Customers'

Explaining the decision, Michael Trembath, dealer principal at Quay Auto Centre, expressed great pride in representing the brand. "We are proud to represent KGM and to bring such a dynamic, capable range of vehicles to our customers in South Devon," he said. Trembath highlighted the alignment of values between the dealership and the manufacturer, noting, "Our long-standing history in the town is built on quality service and local trust. Values we see reflected in the KGM brand." He concluded with a forward-looking statement: "We are excited for this next chapter in our journey and for all customers, new and old, to come and see the KGM range for themselves."

Strengthening KGM's South West Presence

This new appointment is a key part of KGM UK's broader strategy to grow its nationwide presence and enhance its product line-up. The brand confirmed that adding Quay Auto Centre to its network will significantly strengthen its coverage in the South West region. Kevin Griffin, Managing Director at KGM Motors UK, welcomed the dealership, stating, "We are delighted to welcome Quay Auto Centre to the KGM family. Their long-standing service to the community and proven track record makes them a valuable addition to our network." Griffin emphasised the benefits for local motorists, adding, "Their appointment strengthens our coverage in the South West and ensures more customers can experience the quality, value and practicality KGM vehicles offer."

This partnership represents a significant development for car buyers in Devon, combining the proven, local expertise of a trusted dealer with an expanding range of vehicles known for their capability and value.
