West Way Nissan

To support those on the frontline during this challenging time, the Rochdale Nissan dealership is offering 15% off a Nissan service, including a free wash and vac, to those in the emergency services or care workers. 

The dealerships have also increased the number of collections and deliveries, which are available contact-free, and test drives can even be done from home for anyone needing to change their vehicle. 

To cope with demand, workshops have been working night and day to keep key workers’ cars properly serviced and MOTs up to date, so they can continue helping the nation. 

Managing Director of West Way Nissan, Tony Lewis, said: “Keeping emergency services and care workers on the road so they can keep looking after the rest of us is vitally important at this time. We also know that if you’re pushed for time and need work doing to your car it can be extremely stressful, so we’ve tried to make it as easy as possible.

“Our increased collection and delivery service aims to help people to avoid leaving the house if they don’t need to, and we can hopefully make isolation a bit easier too.”
