This week on Redgate Lodge | Dealership Diary, the team takes you behind the scenes at Newcastle’s leading used car dealership to show you the frustrations we face every day in the UK Motor Trade…
🚗 Managing Director Scott catches up with Steven R, one of our Buyers, as they inspect the latest vehicles arriving into stock. One standout arrival is a stunning District Green Audi A5, but after our vehicle purchasing team discovers a significant paint defect on the bonnet, the car is lined up to receive professional refurbishment from our Newcastle Bodyshop, to ensure it meets the high standards expected of every Redgate Lodge used car.
😤 We also sit down with Marketing Manager Anthony as he and Scott discuss some of the biggest frustrations facing the modern motor trade, from customer expectations to the challenges of sourcing quality used cars.
🛠️ In the workshop, Vehicle Technician Gary explains why he’s replacing the shock absorbers and brakes on a Volkswagen Golf, giving an insight into the preparation process every vehicle undergoes before being offered for sale.

🚘 For driving enthusiasts, Scott and Anthony take the Mercedes-Benz AMG A35 out for a ten-minute road test. Can this hot hatch impress them enough to rank among their favourite performance cars?
