Drivers of Leicester will soon be able to purchase and service their cars in true Scandinavian style with the opening of a new multi-million-pound store.

Work is already well underway at the brand-new TMS Volvo Leicester store on Melton Road, which is set to officially open its doors in November.

The store, which is being moved from its current premises on Almond Road, will feature Volvo’s signature lounge area, complete with luxurious Scandinavian furniture. Customers will have the option to relax while their car is looked after or work while they wait, thanks to the free Wi-Fi and private office space.

The new retail centre will also feature an interior viewing window that will allow customers to see all activity in the new workshops from – what feels like – the comfort of their own living room.
Helping combat the climate emergency, the retailer’s new home will also feature a number of electric charging points for Volvo’s growing range of electric vehicles.

The showroom will display the latest range of stunning Volvo cars, including the brand-new EX30 and the pure electric XC40 and plug-in hybrids, as well as a wide range of Volvo Selekt Approved Used models. More than 100 checks ensure these Approved Used cars are not just safe but perform to the highest standards thanks to the latest Volvo parts and software.

The Volvo Personal Service sees the same technician liaising with the customer from the point of booking right through to explaining the services – which they themselves have carried out. Two technicians work together on each car, reducing the time it takes for the service to be fulfilled.

Len Hallows, Managing Director at TMS Volvo Leicester, said: “We are excited to start this new chapter of TMS Volvo Leicester as we prepare to open the doors to our brand-new home this November.

“We’re incredibly proud to be supporting Volvo’s mission towards sustainability with our carefully designed showroom. This is a truly significant investment for us, and we’ve put a lot of work into creating the perfect space in which customers can feel relaxed and comfortable. We have also incorporated the latest eco-friendly technology to make sure we are being consciously sustainable in all areas.

“It will be a pleasure to welcome existing and new guests to our new home to discuss all their motoring needs.”
