Revolution Closing Down!!!!!!!!
Not really.
They are moving to new purpose built premises soon, better facilities, parking etc.
I'd like to wish Glenn, Lisa and all the staff all the best for the move into their new site, opening in October.
Onwards and upwards

New Revolution Store
Hi everyone,
Yes it's true, we are moving to a brand new HQ in October.
Based on a 1 acre site, the new HQ is being built exactly to our spec with a major emphasis was on increasing our workshop capacity and offering more customer parking and even better showroom than we have already.
Just off the A1 in Gateshead near the Metro Centre it will be very easy for everyone to find.
New workshop features will include:
1 - 5 vehicle workshop with all new ramps & machinery with overnight storage for 8 cars.
2 - Nitrogen tyre inflation - full purge system (same Co. who supplies F-1).
3 - The most advanced wheel alignment machine in Europe Pro-Align Hunter DSP600. - with customer settings for track & road use. It will measure any car, with any wheel size & if its been lowered by any height it wont be a problem as it measures this electronically.
It can even measure thrust angles to check if a vehicle has a straight chassis.
4 - Over 2,000 tyres in stock at anyone time with a full time tyre fitter allowing customers to arrive and have immediate fitting, rather than booking in days in advance.
5 - Disc skimming service will still continue, but again no need to book in weeks in advance.
6 - Engine rebuilds and such like won't be available from day one but we will working towards this and will let you all know as and when.
7 - Full servicing will still be available, but again without the 2 week lead time that we are currently experiencing.
Showroom will have the largest display of alloy wheels in the UK with a much wider choice of designs for Subaru drivers. We're also increasing the size of the mail-order dept with a dedicated team including the guys who you regularly speak to who can help with any quieries that you may have. Two indoor waiting areas & two outdoor seating areas also, with a huge lawn for families to relax whilst soaking in the North East sunshine (LOL)
Warehouse is doubling in size & will be over 2 floors, giving us greater stock holding thus speeding your orders up too.
The car park will initially have 20 spaces that have been designed extra wide to make sure no-one gets there scooby door dented by a "youthful max driver" but we have space for a further 20 if needed.
We will also be arranging "scoobynights" for scoobynet members with all UK area clubs for private evenings with special discounts etc.
We will be having a dedicated page on our website very soon on the new store with regular up dates to keep you all informed.
All in all we'll be able we plan to offer the greatest automotive shopping experience in the UK.
Finally, without your loyalty and support over the past 10yrs it wouldn't have been possible to re-invest in this new HQ.
So a big, big thanks to you all and we look forward to meeting you in person on our opening day....date to be confirmed.
