Snows Group has opened its third Fiat and Abarth dealership in the Hampshire/Isle of Wight region, at Sarisbury Green, near Fareham.

The opening extends Snows portfolio to 42 franchise dealerships, nine specialist used car outlets and five manufacturer-approved repair centres. The Sarisbury Green Fiat and Abarth site offers new and used car sales as well as providing an approved service centre. It features a Too Good to Auction, used operation selling part-exchange stock.

The new site adds to Snow’s recently built Fiat dealership at Millbrook, Southampton, and Snows Fiat at Newport, Isle of Wight.

Mark Austin, a Snows group franchise manager, said: “We are delighted with the acquisition and have undertaken significant refurbishments to the site. The eight-vehicle showroom at Sarisbury Green features new Fiat and Abarth models. “It means we can provide a convenient sales and service offering to customers in the west and east of Southampton, as well as on the Isle of Wight.

“Customers like the convenience of being able to view and test-drive cars locally, rather than having to make extended journeys. Furthermore, to further utilise the new site, we are selling used Alfa Romeos and Jeeps, as well as selected cars from our Too Good to Auction service.”

The Sarisbury Green dealership will create up to 10 jobs. David Carpenter has been appointed sales manager and Michael Ewen is after-sales manager. Snows employs nearly 800 people and traces its roots back to Southampton 55 years ago through late founder Geoff Snow.
