A NEW car dealership is set to open in Ayrshire in the coming months.
Toyota is set to return to Ayr in September with a new state-of-the-art Macklin Motors dealership.
Macklin Motors announced last year that it was investing around £5m to build a new dealership in the town, after winning the Toyota franchise West of Scotland.
The new site will include a main showroom, a valet building, MOT, and servicing area as well as up to 360 parking spaces for display and customer vehicles.
Christopher McKenzie, CMA General Manager at Macklin Motors, said: “I’m really pleased to be able to bring Toyota back to the people of Ayr.
"Toyota is producing lots of fantastic new cars like Aygo X, Yaris Cross, and the All-New All-Electric Toyota bZ4X – and we have plenty of used cars available too, including one half price vehicle each day.
The dealership will be situated off Old Farm Road, Ayr, close to Park’s Motor Group’s Volvo and Mazda dealerships and an existing Arnold Clark AutoParts centre.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
