JCT600 expands Leeds VW Van Centre

JCT600 has expanded its Volkswagen Van Centre in Leeds, adding new vehicle sales and securing official Volkswagen California Centre status as part of a wider investment in its commercial vehicle network.

From this month, the Hunslet-based site, located just off the M621, will operate as a full Volkswagen Van Centre, offering new and used vehicle sales alongside parts and aftersales services. The expansion makes Leeds JCT600’s fifth fully authorised Volkswagen Van Centre in the UK.

The site has also been appointed as one of only 16 official Volkswagen California Centres nationwide. This designation enables the Leeds operation to offer specialist sales expertise for the California campervan range, with trained advisers supporting customers through purchase, specification and ownership.

The Volkswagen California has become one of the brand’s most sought-after lifestyle vehicles, combining usability with luxury campervan functionality. As an official California Centre, JCT600’s Leeds van centre will also support owners with servicing, MOTs and parts.

Simon Hardwick, Volkswagen commercial vehicles brand director, said: “Expanding our Leeds Van Centre to include new vehicle sales and official California Centre status reflects both the strength of demand in the region and our long-term commitment to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

“The California, in particular, attracts customers who value quality, versatility and specialist support, and Leeds is ideally placed to serve that growing market across Yorkshire and beyond.”

JCT600 is one of the UK’s leading independent automotive retailers, representing 18 brands across a network of dealerships in Yorkshire, the North East and the Midlands. Founded in Bradford in 1946, it has grown to become one of Yorkshire’s largest family-owned businesses.
