Car dealer ends Volkswagen/Audi association with loss of 35 jobs

ONE of the country’s oldest car dealer franchises, Turners Cross Motors in Cork, is set to end its long-standing association with Volkswagen/Audi with the loss of at least 35 jobs.

The owners of the garage, Motor Services Limited, part of the hugely profitable O’Flaherty Motor Group yesterday informed staff at its Turners Cross Motors dealership of its decision not to undertake the development of new showrooms, workshops, ancillary premises and on-site facilities for Volkswagen and Audi at Turners Cross.

In a statement last night, the company said it accepted that: “This will result in the cancellation of its contracts to represent Volkswagen and Audi at Turners Cross Motors in the future.”
