Just seen that Jaz are moving from their old premises in Wembley to St.Albans!

http://www.jazweb.co.uk/jaz-on-the-move.php

All Change at Wembley Park!

We all know that change can be difficult to accept. Change can be daunting, exciting, even frightening. Think new job, new house, new girlfriend, they all stir up different emotions. So what about moving an entire business that has been in the same location for 24 years?

Well at this precise moment I am feeling all of those emotions, but in this case change was necessary. We outgrew our current premises four or five years ago. The search has been on for quite some time, held back mainly by the landowning corporations attitude towards the motor trade - oily, dirty, smelly. Some are, but we certainly are not (well maybe on Monday mornings after a good weekend!).

Why do we need bigger premises? Well, our clientele has grown massively over the last few years as well as the diversity of models catered for. This, coupled with the simple fact that the cars themselves have got bigger. If you put the new 991 next to a 1973 911S, you will see my point.

So finally a suitable site has been found. A bit of luck was involved as well as accepting the fact that there is no such thing as the perfect site. So over the next two months we are off to St Albans in south Hertfordshire, 6,000 sq/ft of cat-swinging bliss. Nearly four times the size of our current workshop. Bigger, brighter, nicer environment, better road links to a broader customer base, better service for our customers. Yes change can most certainly be for the better.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new home from January 1st 2015.

Unit 18. North Orbital Commercial Park, Napsbury Lane, St Albans, Herts AL1 1XB

Bigger, brighter, more secure premises.
More car ramps, more specialist equipment.
Excellent road and rail links:
5 minutes from M1 Junction 21A or M25 Junction 22.
Fast trains from St Albans City to Kings Cross, Farringdon and Blackfriars every 10 minutes, 20 min journey time.
Free shuttle service every 20 mins to the station.
Free loan car by prior arrangement, brand new Smart car
Collection and delivery service if needed.
Saturday openings for collection and delivery.


Congratulations to Steve, Claire and the team!

Perhaps we can organise a PH meet at Jaz with Steve in the New Year!smile

Larger, better facilities as I understand. Easier for me too.

I got the email about that the other week. Good to have another local specialist, and pretty convenient for my place of work. The email had an invite to a launch party on January 31st at midday onwards (asks you to email or call if you plan to go) but I can't make that day sadly.

I do want to check out the new location though, so would be well up for joining a PH meet there if Steve can be persuaded! smile

6 miles away and I frequently drive past there going into St Albans or Sopwell. A great location for customers, loads of room and there are some interesting car businesses there including a good body shop and wheel re furbisher. Will pop along in January/ Feb.

Close to me too. Less distance to travel for servicing and advice. smile

I hear that they are getting the latest state of art wheel alignment kit as well.

I do hope there will also be some free coffee???

Unashamed bump for my mates at Jaz.

Seen the new space - it really is going to be a huge step up from Wembley and I know Steve is nervous / excited about it in equal measures.

Wish them the very best of luck for 2015.
