Why Buy From Us

We're Ringways

The leading motor group in Yorkshire for over half a century

FAMILY OWNED – OUR STORY

Built on a strong passion for motor vehicles and an even stronger passion for excellent customer service, our aim at Ringways is to be trusted and respected by everyone who encounters us for the lifetime of their motoring needs.

Still owned and supported by the Roberts family, we have maintained a positive presence within the Leeds & Doncaster community since first acquiring the land in the early 1950’s, on which our custom built flagship Whitehall Road dealership now stands.

1954
1967
1970s
2000s

That’s when we bought the land for our first premises on Whitehall Road in Leeds, where our flagship dealership stands today.

At first it was a filling station and restaurant, fuelling the cars and appetites of the busy people of Leeds.

That helped us build strong ties with the local community, something we’ve been passionate about ever since.

The filling station soon grew into a service centre and showroom.

Ringways became a main Ford dealership in the late 60s, and still is today.

But our founders had a strong passion for innovation. They didn’t want to stand still.

The Ringways Service Line was the result of their forward thinking and commitment to delivering an exceptional showroom experience.

They asked the question that nobody was willing to ask at the time – why can’t I have a drink and get a haircut while I watch my car being serviced?

And so the popular Service Line was born.

Well it was the 60s, after all.

This was when Ringways really entered unchartered territory: South Yorkshire.

The expansion was the result of years of continued success and a desire to bring the Ringways’ Way to even more people across the region.

We opened a dealership on York Road in Doncaster, and our Kia site relocated to Bullrush Grove where our custom-built Kia dealership still maintains a strong presence in the town.

New Millennium, new Ringways. We loved the old showroom, but it just couldn’t provide a customer experience fit for the 21st century.

That came with the building of our state-of-the-art Sale and Service Centre’s either side of the ‘Ringways Roundabout’ on Whitehall Road in 2004.

These stand-alone facilities were joined by the Kia Leeds showroom on Crow Nest Lane in 2018, specifically designed to ease the apprehension that some people feel when visiting a dealership – because buying a car should be a pleasure, always.

To the future, and beyond…

We’ve come a long way since those early days. From the moment the first brick was laid on the Whitehall Road site in 1955, our success has always been driven by one core value – a commitment to the customer. We’ll carry that forward into everything we do in the future.

That’s where we’ve come from. Here’s what we do today.

GUEST EXPERIENCE HOSTS

The right car buying experience.

Our Customer Experience program is a proactive approach for the 21st century guest who want a buying experience rather than a sales process. We ensure that every showroom guest achieve their own objectives.

In addition to this we treat customers like a guest in our own home by offering them a drink, being hospitable, warm, friendly and sincere.

Here at Ringways we don’t have sales people we have Guest Experience Hosts.

RINGWAYS VALUE PLUS CARD

The Ringways Value Plus Card is part of our ongoing commitment to great customer service.

It’s free of charge to all individual retail customers – our little way of saying welcome to the Ringways family.

Even if you’re not a customer you can still buy one and take advantage of some superb benefits.

HOWARTH FOUNDATION

The Howarth Foundation’s mission is to prevent or relieve poverty of individuals who are, or who have recently been homeless and Ringways are proud to have supported them for the last 2 years.

Scott joined Ringways through the partnership with the Howarth Foundation. He struggled with addiction issues in the past and was recently homeless. He is now a valuable and respected member of the car valet team at Ringways Leeds.

We are proud to support similar schemes and charitable organisations across West Yorkshire, and we take our responsibilities as a member of this wonderful community very seriously.

“I am delighted with Scott and proud to have taken the decision to move out of my comfort zone for the greater good.”
Stephen Russell, Ringways Managing Director

LEEDS UNITED

Another long-term Community Partner, the Leeds United Foundation is a not for profit, grass roots sports charity that acts as the charitable arm of Leeds United Football Club. Amongst the many projects upon which Ringways and the Leeds United Foundation have collaborated on in recent years are the Leeds United Foundation’s Disability Football Programme and Leeds United Ladies FC.

In addition to sponsorship donations, free advice for disability players interested in joining the Motability Scheme and resource support, Ringways Group Managing Director Stephen Russell is also a member of the charity’s Board of Trustees.

LEEDS SPORTS AWARDS

Ringways Motor Group alongside Motability, were proud to support the 16th Annual Leeds Sports Awards, for the first time in February 2019.

Sporting royalty and unsung heroes were honoured at the glittering ceremony once again in the First Direct Arena. The awards saw attendance rise above 800 people, who all gathered to recognise the achievements and contributions of athletes, coaches, clubs and volunteers in 2018, with attendance from boxing world champion Josh Warrington stealing the show. An unforgettable night for sport in Leeds!

“It was great to be able to invite several of our Motability customers to the event they thoroughly enjoyed it. The talent Leeds has in the sporting world is fantastic.”
Scott Lees, Ringways Motability Specialist

RADIO AIRE’S CASH FOR KIDS

Over recent years Ringways have played an active role in supporting Cash for Kids.

In addition to acting as an official drop off point for gifts donated to the annual Cash for Kids Mission Christmas Campaign, Ringways also donates the use of two Ford Transit vans to help with the collection and distribution of presents donated to that campaign.

Through their partnership with Cash for Kids, Ringways also donated the use of Ford Kuga to act as the official timing vehicle of the 2015 Jane Tomlinson’s Run for All Leeds Half Marathon.
