Welcome to Alex Scott Cars, the award-winning family-run dealership established in 1981.
We are proud to be the longest established family-run dealer in our area. Over the last 40+ years we have built a great reputation on our friendly caring service along with supplying low mileage cars at competitive prices, offering customers great value and a name they can trust.
Alex Scott started his journey into the motor trade from a very young age when he took his first job as Motor Mechanic at one of the franchised dealers in the area at the the age of 16. He flourished in his role and it was not long before he became Service Manager and then went on to be the Regional Service Manager.
However his real ambition was to have his own dealership, and way back in 1981 he purchased his first garage and forecourt and has never looked back since and the premises, although greatly updated and expanded, are in the the same locations.
40 years on, Alex Scott Cars is a thriving family-run dealership with many awards in the industry and a huge loyal customer base locally and throughout the UK.
Alex Scott
The business is run now by Alex Scott’s sons Jonathan and James, with Alex enjoying his retirement but always on the other end of the phone to offer his wealth of experience and knowledge.
“As the 2nd Generation of the Scott family, we are delighted to be at the helm of the business and are very proud of our good reputation in the motor trade and how the business has developed over the years, resulting in all the national awards we have won, which is a fantastic achievement for a local family-run dealership.
We are now welcoming into the business the 3rd generation of the family with Annabelle Scott taking on the role of Social Marketing and Jack Scott soon to be joining the team as well.
A big thank you must go to all our customers and staff for their continued support and loyalty over the years as without them we could not have achieved the success we have had.”
Kevin Gibson
Sales Manager
Kevin joined the team in the very early days in April 1989 at the age of 18 and is still with us today over 36 years later, which is an outstanding achievement and one which we are very proud of. He has built up so many fantastic relationships with his customers over the years and he really is a credit to the business of which we are very grateful.
Peter Mann
Sales Executive
Peter joined the Sales team in February 2017 and has never looked back. Having worked in one of the large franchise dealers previously, he is now relishing the family environment which we have at Alex Scott Cars and has built up a great customer base over the years and he always has a smile on his face to greet his customers new and old.
Maz Karim
Sales Executive
Maz joined the Sales team in July 2018. He previously worked with various brands in the premium sector, including BMW and has become a great asset to the business.
Over the years, he has built up a great relationship with his customers with his friendly and caring approach and always makes time for his customers.
Jack Scott
Junior Sales
Jack will become the newest member of the team when he joins later in the year. We look forward to welcoming another family member onboard.
Sandra Parker
Accounts Department
Sandra joined ourselves way back in 2003 when she took over the position from Betty, her Mum (keeping it in the family).
She is a very valued member of the team and looks after the accounts as well as doing a lot of the admin. She is always full of energy and always willing to help anyone.
Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensures the smooth operation of important tasks that have to be carried out daily and her organisational skills and friendly demeanour make her a valuable asset to both our team and our customers.
Stephen Butterfield
Accounts Department
Steven is a relatively new member to the team having joined in January 2021 but has settled in fantastically well. He is a great asset to the Accounts team and has brought with him some great ideas and has a keen eye for detail in all he does.
Annabelle Scott
Accounts/Marketing
Annabelle joined the team in 2024 and has settled in fantastically well and has been a great help to Sandra in accounts. She is now loving getting inside with the social media and marketing side of the business. It is great to have another member of the family on the team.
Steven Skinner
Workshop Manger (Guidepost Choppington Service Centre)
Steven joined Alex Scott many years ago in 1993 as a Trainee Mechanic and having done his training he became a fully trained Mechanic and worked his way up to Workshop Manger. His experience and knowledge is so valuable and his enthusiasm for the job is second to none. Over 30 years with the business, where has the time gone. He is a real asset to the business.
Brian Rossiter
Vehicle Technician
Brian is our longest serving member of the team and has been with us from the very beginning. He joined as Trainee Mechanic in 1981. He lived at the time next door to the garage with his family and went on to become a fully trained Mechanic and then on to Workshop Manager. What a story of loyalty and one which we are very proud of. Where has the time gone.
He now works part time, stepping down from his Managerial role and passing on the baton to our current Workshop Manager Steven, but his wealth of knowledge and experience is priceless. The gold watch has most definitely been ordered for when Brian eventually retires, which we hope will be many years in the future as it would not be the same without him.
Paul Newton
Vehicle Technician
Paul is one of the newest members of the team and joined us in 2024. He comes with a vast wealth of experience with previously working with Audi for 7 years and before that for Vauxhall for over 40 years. What a great asset to the company to bring all that that knowledge and he has fitted in straight away and really hit the ground running.
James Rogerson
Workshop Manager (Cramlington Service Centre)
Jim has been Service Manager for over 20 years and is a really loyal member of the team who is loved by his colleagues and customers. His work ethic is fantastic and so committed to the company.
David Marley
The Car Spa
David has been with the company since way back in 2006 and from the day he joined ourselves he has never stopped working. He is quite honestly a machine and someone who is so well respected with his colleagues and the customers.
Nothing is ever a problem and no matter how busy we get he never complains but just gets on with the job and his attention to detail is quite something. What an asset to the company.
Anthony Waterworth
The Car Spa
Anthony joined the team way back in 2005 and from the moment he started he became one of the family. He is a lovely lad, great with the customers and his colleagues and no matter how busy we are, you can always rely on him. A very much unsung hero and one we could not do without.
Robert Thomson
The Car Spa
Robert is one of our longest serving members of the team and has been with us for over 30 years. His work ethic is fantastic and his attention to detail is second to none. We would be lost without him as he is truly multi-skilled. Where has the time gone.
Mark Cotterill
The Car Spa
Mark joined the team 24 years ago and is a vital member of the car spa team. No job is too big or small and he is always happy to help anyone. What a great lad.
