Project brief

Having recently acquired the Clive Brook Volvo chain of dealerships in West Yorkshire, Ray Chapman Motors appointed CCS Garage Equipment to design and install a refurbished vehicle servicing and maintenance workshop at its Bradford site.

Contemporary garage equipment installation for Volvo Bradford by CCS

This refurbishment projects breathes new life into a former Jaguar dealership in Bradford, taken over by Ray Chapman Motors in order to create greater opportunities for growth of its Volvo marque retail brand in the coming years.

Transforming the disused site, and working alongside our client and its appointed contractors, CCS Garage Equipment designed a workshop featuring 8 service bays, equipped with Volvo-preferred short platform scissor lifts and ancillary equipment by market-leading manufacturers for excellent reliability, durability and with user-friendly features to support safe and operationally efficient working by the dealership’s workshop team.

CCS Garage Equipment’s dedicated project manager led our garage equipment installation on site in Bradford, West Yorkshire, delivering the project to schedule and overseeing the installation of equipment including scissor lifts, 4500KG-capacity fixed 2-post vehicle lift, Hunter wheel alignment technology, Class IV MOT bay, new tyre and wheel balancing equipment and ancillary kit including lubrication and air systems.

Completing the garage equipment installation prior to the dealership’s formal opening, CCS fully tested and commissioned all equipment, as well as delivering team training to the client’s workshop technicians to ensure safe operation of the facility in the years to come.
