Working at Aston Martin Bristol
Explore location

In 2016, on Dick Lovett’s 50th anniversary, we opened our first Aston Martin dealership in Bristol. The facility is easily accessible from the M5 Motorway by exiting at Junction 17 and following the A4018 to the Dick Lovett campus at Laurel Court. Bristol is the closest Aston Martin dealership to Wales out of the 16 dealerships in the UK.

The purpose-built state-of-the-art facility set a new benchmark for Aston Martin showrooms when it opened. The brand promotes a performance-driven culture which is evident in the beautiful surroundings the team members work in. With a 25-car luxurious showroom for both new and pre-owned sports cars, and a 10-bay workshop dedicated to servicing and repairs, our Aston Martin dealership aims to make the experience of owning an Aston Martin as easy and enjoyable as possible.
