About this dealer

Sims Suzuki has been part of Darlington's motor trade since 1989, developing into one of the longest-established Suzuki dealerships in North East England. Unlike large corporate dealership groups, the privately owned business has built its identity around personal relationships and a straightforward approach to car ownership, captured in its longstanding motto, "We Make It Easy."

Suzuki remains at the heart of the operation, with new vehicles and an extensive approved used selection covering the manufacturer's range. However, the dealership also offers second-hand cars from other manufacturers, providing alternatives for customers with different budgets and preferences. Its substantial showroom brings together the choice of a larger dealership with the more familiar atmosphere of a locally operated business.

An especially distinctive part of Sims Suzuki is its dedicated parts department, which supplies genuine Suzuki components and accessories to customers and workshops throughout the UK. This operates alongside a fully equipped service centre offering maintenance, diagnostics and MOT testing for Suzuki vehicles and other makes. The combination of specialist manufacturer knowledge, nationwide parts distribution and decades of local trading gives Sims Suzuki a role that extends well beyond conventional car sales.
