Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas welcomes a familiar face to its
retail family in the United States as OpenRoad Auto Group has acquired
the existing Rolls-Royce Motor Cars retail operations in Bellevue,
Wash. at 1882 136th Place NE. The Rolls-Royce showroom,
Bespoke Atelier and service operations will seamlessly continue to
service the brand’s Pacific Northwest clientele. The Vancouver,
British Columbia based luxury retailer adds the Bellevue operations to
its existing Canadian business in its first foray across the border in
the United States.
“We congratulate Christian Chia and his entire team on this
expansion and their continued commitment to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars,”
said Pedro Mota, President of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas. “As we
come off our third consecutive year of record demand, OpenRoad Auto
Group’s broad expertise with luxury clientele and their commitment to
provide unrivaled client relations and customer service is critical to
sustain the relationship we have with our growing Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars family.”
OpenRoad Auto Group launched in 2000 and quickly became one of
the largest and fastest growing automotive retail groups in Canada.
Since the debut of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Vancouver operations in
2010, the team has focused on excellence and individualized
activities. Every day, client managers bring a personalized level of
service to luxury consumers, establishing Vancouver as the largest
market for Rolls-Royce in Canada. The group will bring their knowledge
and understanding as demand for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars continues to
expand in the Pacific Northwest.
“We are extremely excited to be expanding our services into the
Pacific Northwest and the clients throughout the Seattle area,” said
Christian Chia, President and CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group. “Our goal is
to create a seamless transition throughout this process and continue
to offer the super-luxury experience our clients have come to expect.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bellevue will continue its commitment to
excellence in sales and service throughout the transition as
operations continue.”
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas recorded a third consecutive
year of record sales in 2016. Sales soared 12% for the year, propelled
by the new Rolls-Royce Dawn. The Americas remain the largest region
for the world’s leading luxury house, and represents more than
one-third of the iconic brand’s sales. Rolls-Royce continued to
dominate the North American super-luxury arena (motor cars topping
$250,000). The success is a direct result of the company’s leadership
in offering a steady stream of exciting new luxury products and
exclusive Bespoke features for the most discerning clients in the
world, Rolls-Royce motor car owners.
