Trident Honda is delighted to announce the sponsorship agreement with Weybridge Vandals RFC (Rugby Football Club), and marking 15 years since Trident Honda first became involved with the Vandals.

Please remember to wear a face mask when you visit Trident Honda!

Since 24th July it has been a requirement of the UK government for all customers to wear a face covering in shops and supermarkets, with fines of up to £100 for failing to comply.

This has caused some confusion for our customers, as to whether or not our Honda showroom and Shell filling station are shops. The legal advice that we have now been given is that the likelihood is that both premises are indeed classed as shops, at least for the purposes of these new rules.

Trident Honda is delighted to announce that it will be re-opening its Honda Showroom on Sundays, between 10am and 4pm, with immediate effect.

Since our last update, we have seen strong demand for the new Honda Jazz and Jazz Crosstar, and huge interest in the stunning new Honda e. Better still, the Honda Summer Event has made our range even more affordable. As result, we have been able to return our final sales executive from furlough, and this was the last change needed to enable Sunday opening, and a return to our pre-COVID-19 Opening Hours.

We have also been able to bring back our showroom receptionists, to improve our telephone answering, and bring back our much-missed showroom coffee!

Steve Cropley of Autocar has reviewed the Honda e Advance, and here are just a few quotes from his article:

It's well-made, well-equipped and extremely cute.

On the road, the E combines the best of small cars and electric cars to make a really enjoyable driving experience.

Honda benchmarked this EV against bigger cars for refinement, and it most definitely shows.

Altogether, driving the E is an uplifting experience, which shows a new way for small cars - or at least for small cars that weigh 1.5 tonnes…

Trident Honda has enjoyed a remarkable bounce-back since the COVID-19 lockdown, with more cars sold last week than in the same period last year - no doubt helped by the launch of the fabulous 2021 Honda Jazz and Jazz Crosstar, and the arrival of the simply stunning Honda e. It is a similar picture in our Service Department, with sales running at around 98% of our 2019 average.

We are ready for your call or visit

As a result of this amazing return to form, Trident Honda has now brought back all available customer-facing dealership staff, and has opened up its telephones fully for the first time since the lockdown.

We have a vacancy in our Aftersales department for a Car Service Washer/Valeter to clean our customers' lovely Hondas!

One small step for Trident Honda, with the arrival of our first all-electric car - the Honda e. One giant leap for Honda - in their ambition to electrify their entire range by 2022!
