About Chapelhouse Group
Chapel House Motor Company is a family run business and now a household name in the North West. It was originally started by local owner Nicholas Coen back in 1989, from the then Proton franchise on Dentons Green Lane, St. Helens and has developed into the group it is today.
Since then, Chapel House has enjoyed continued growth as more and more local customers have enjoyed the “Chapel House Experience” and recommended us to their friends and family. Many of our customers are now driving their fifth or even sixth vehicle purchased from us!!
The Dentons Green Lane site enjoyed continued growth but was later sold following the acquisition of the town centre site at Canal Street, conveniently located directly opposite the cinema. This larger site is the new home of St. Helens Suzuki, Peugeot & Citroen and features a complete parts, service & sales facility along with over 120 quality used cars.
2002 also saw the acquisition of “Greenfens” in Ainsdale, Southport, which after significant refurbishment became Chapel House Citroen. The full Citroen range is on display in the showroom at Ainsdale and this is complemented outside by a fantastic selection of quality used Citroen cars & vans. In addition, the site also houses a complete parts, service & sales facility featuring a custom built seven bay workshop.
In 2005, Chapel House further branched out by purchasing part of the H.L. Gorner Mercedez Benz site at Warrington. This dealership is in the primarily motor trade area of the town located on Milner Street, just off the A57. The site is host to Chapelhouse’s third Suzuki franchise as well as the groups’ first Kia franchise.
2006 saw the acquisition of West Coast Saab & Hyundai located alongside Chapel House Citroen on Liverpool Road, Ainsdale. The Peugeot brand was quickly added to the lineup at Ainsdale, offering customers a fantastic selection of brands all on the one single site. The Ainsdale site relationship with Saab spans well over 40 years and Chapel House have committed to continue this link by remaining an official “Saab Authorised Repairer. The team at Ainsdale have over a century of combined experience of working with the Saab brand and will continue to offer the complete range of aftersales facilities to local Saab owners.
2007 saw the introduction of a further two brands to the Ainsdale site at Southport! First to arrive was Fiat, famed for producing lifestyle focused vehicles and who have been notably absent from Southport for a number of years now.
Next came Suzuki, the groups fourth Suzuki franchise! Which is housed just down the road from the main Ainsdale site in the former Carlton Suzuki Garage dealership. Hyundai has also joined Suzuki on this site to enable the existing Ainsdale site to be further developed and offer customers an even greater selection of new and quality used cars.
Our buying power as an established group, coupled with the peace of mind associated with dealing with a major player in vehicle retailing, service, repairs & replacement parts stands for a significant value to local vehicle owners who may be undecided about which make and model to choose. When making that all important buying decision, our multi franchise sites enable the sales team to offer valuable advice and test drives across multiple brands, making comparison and selection easy.
Citroen, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot and Suzuki have all chosen Chapel House. We hope that you will too!
We look forward to seeing you soon at Chapel House - The Home of A Great Deal!
