ATS Euromaster has invested more than £320,000 in this new site, which has been equipped with tyre fitting, maintenance and vehicle diagnostic equipment. The modern premises occupy a 6,000ft² site and has been selected for its strategic location bordering East London, coupled with its close proximity to the A2 and M25.
In addition to expert tyre care, the new centre will provide an extended range of ‘fast-fit’ services including batteries, brakes, exhausts, oil top-ups, shocks, fault diagnostics and air-conditioning servicing.
Staff will also be able to carry out both standard and comprehensive scheduled maintenance servicing for all makes and model of car and van. It also features a dedicated MOT bay for cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes, and is equipped to accommodate even the longest wheelbase high-roof panel vans on its workshop ramps.
Commenting on the new site, ATS Euromaster group operations director, Peter Tye, said: “Our expansion plans are focused on key areas of the country where we see the greatest opportunity to build new centres. Dartford is a commuter and enterprise hotspot, and provided the perfect opportunity for us to bring our widest range of car and van services to local motorists and fleets.
“The most successful centres combine three key attributes – a prime location, a first class premises and an expert team. In Dartford we’ve ticked all three boxes; there’s nothing to stop this becoming one of our busiest centres in the south east.”
Dartford is home to an ATS Euromaster mobile service van – one of more than 800 in theUK– which is on standby 24/7 to provide a roadside rapid response service to commercial vehicle operators in the event of a tyre-related breakdown.
The centre also offers ATS Euromaster’s latest e-booking system, which lets customers schedule guaranteed appointments at a time to suit them.
