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.
The support of our customers during the pandemic has been absolutely amazing, not only coping with a limited telephone service and slower responses than we would like, but rewarding us with amazing reviews on social media - thank you, we hugely appreciate your loyalty and custom.
We are now fully open throughout our business, although our opening hours have changed slightly - notably we are only opening on Sundays by appointment.
We continue to review ways to keep you safe and improve your experience during the pandemic. For example, we recently installed paper towels in the customer toilets, as they have been proven to be more effective at removing virus from hands than hand dryers, and this week we installed a sneeze screen in our Finance Manager's office, to enable more private conversations when appropriate.
Next week will see the return of our showroom receptionists, who will further improve our telephone answering, and will bring back our much-missed showroom coffee. To discover what else to expect when you arrive at Trident Honda, please visit our Keeping you safe during the COVID-19 pandemic page.
