The History of Frost Cars
From humble beginnings at our first showroom in 1952, the business has now grown to be the largest car retailer in southern and central Sussex.
Today Frosts hold franchises for Vauxhall (five dealerships), Jaguar, Chrysler, Jeep, Saab, Seat, Dodge and Lotus. The company also operates a thriving fleet and van sales operation as well as one of the largest Body Repair Centres in the south of England.
Our success has been based on our determination to deliver a superior experience to each and every one of our thousands of customers who choose Frosts for all of their motoring needs.
You Benefit from our Purchasing Power
Frosts dealerships now sell over 3000 cars and vans every year throughout the UK and Frosts Body Repair Centre repairs and valets close to 8000 vehicles annually. Our Vauxhall combined catchment area is the single largest region of any Vauxhall dealer in the UK.
Such scale empowers Frosts with ever-increasing buying power. We can buy in bulk direct from manufacturers and pass on the benefits direct to you. So keen are our prices that we are now selling cars in to Europe!
Quality Assured Standards
Recognising the need for a commitment to used car quality, Frosts were one of the first Vauxhall dealers to pioneer the award-winning Network Q Used Car Scheme ten years ago. Consistently voted the top performing Network Q Centre in the South of England, we are one of very few Vauxhall dealers to have been awarded a 100% score in the Vauxhall Standards Assessment Review.
We have won awards for quality service from all the manufacturers for whom we hold franchises and are committed to maintain these standards.
Award-Winning Best Practise
For many years now, Frosts have run our own highly successful Frosts Difference staff training course based on building teamwork and individual achievement.
Expertise in areas of business development, marketing and prestige franchise success have all been recognised within the automotive industry. We have been past winners of a prestigious Automotive Management Gold Award for Marketing and have also been highly commended twice in the annual Motor Trader Awards.
Community Support
Frosts are a major employer in the region, with over 210 staff - a figure that has risen by an average of 8% over the last 10 years alone. As such, we enjoy a high profile within the Sussex community.
For the past eight years we have been main sponsors of the Brighton National Speed Trials, the country's oldest event of its kind.
We have also helped raise thousands of pounds for local charities, particularly the area's leading children's hospital, as well as national charities helping disabled and disadvantaged children, through sponsorship of the Adur Bath race, the Rockinghorse Appeal, and the Vauxhall Four Peaks Challenge.
