About the employer
At Cecil & Larter we aim to greet every customer with a warm welcome, friendly smile, a full biscuit basket and decent cup of coffee. The company has been trading for over 85 years and over that time has built up many local customers who return to us year after year.
Being main agents for Volvo and SEAT, we can offer the latest brand new models on display in our Showrooms. Our Sales Teams are fully trained to look after Private, Motability and Business Purchases. We also display a wide selection of Approved Used vehicles all of which are prepared to a very high standard giving you reassurance and peace of mind when making your purchase.
We work hard to achieve outstanding levels of customer service and as such were proud to receive the accolades of Regional Volvo Dealer of the Year in 2012, runner up in 2013. We took the title of Regional Volvo Dealer of the Year again in 2015, with Andrew McAslan taking the award for Regional Sales Manager and Tom Crawford being awarded the Regional Winner of the Volvo First Class Retail League in the same year. The SEAT Sales Team were awarded the National Sales Dealer of the Year 2015 at the 2015 Annual Performance Awards.
Our Aftersales Team can maintain and look after your vehicle using the latest tools, software and highly trained technicians and supply genuine parts, accessories and tyres across East Anglia.
Specialising in the maintenance and upkeep of Volvos, SEATs and Saabs, our expertise is not limited there as we can in fact accommodate any make/model of car in our workshop.
In late 2013 we opened a Used Car Centre in Lamdin Road to retail a selection of quality vehicles from all manufacturers. The Used Car Centre then moved to Sharon Road to a larger site in 2016, which means there should always be a vehicle on offer at Cecil & Larter to suit your needs.
Unlike some garages, our faces haven’t changed a great deal over the last few decades (maybe just getting a little older at the edges). Our average length of service is over 11 years per employee and as such we offer a more personal service getting to know both you and your car.
