NEWS In the fast lane B to success espoke Motor Works say their success is down to a commitment to finding customers their ideal car, no matter what their model or budget. Based on Preston Farm in Stockton, Bespoke specialise in BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW, Porsche, Land Rover and Range Rover – but they are happy to find the perfect car, whatever the model, for an ever-increasing range of personal and corporate clients. As Teesside’s only independent garage offering new and used cars, they promise to find customers the right deal for the right car – whether that’s a brand new Porsche or a five-year-old VW Golf to fit a smaller budget.

Visiting Bespoke isn’t the daunting experience you find at some of our larger competitors. We like to provide a professional service in comfortable, welcoming surroundings but keep costs sensible. “And our customers can be assured that we can offer deals the bigger boys could never come close to because we’re a flexible, independent dealership.” Russell added: “These are exciting times for Bespoke Motor Works.
