Gordon Motors, a cherished family-operated dealership nestled in Crieff, Scotland, proudly marks an illustrious 45-year journey alongside Suzuki GB Plc.

Since its inception in 1979, Gordon Motors has been synonymous with Suzuki’s hallmark reliability and award-winning customer care across Scotland.

The dealership’s humble beginnings in a cozy showroom saw the debut of Suzuki’s pioneering models—the Suzuki Carry ST80 and the Suzuki LJ80. The overwhelming success of these vehicles spurred Gordon Motors to expand, relocating to a spacious, dedicated Suzuki showroom within its main dealership.

In the span of four and a half decades, Gordon Motors has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, the dealership stands at the forefront of automotive innovation, embracing the future with the introduction of electric vehicles, all while upholding its steadfast commitment to Suzuki’s ethos.

This unwavering dedication has garnered acclaim from patrons, propelling Gordon Motors to achieve top honors in the UK for both aftersales service excellence and customer trust.
