A Fond Farewell: Rossiters Garage Ends 40-Year Journey in the Motor Trade

March 12, 20242 min read

In an evocative piece of motor trade news, cardealermagazine.co.uk sheds light on the end of an era for a cherished community car dealership, Rossiters Garage, located in the quaint village of Dersingham, near Kings Lynn. Since its inception in 1984, this small yet significant establishment has been a fixture in the local community, led by the steadfast and genial owner, Chris Rossiter.

Having commenced its journey in nearby North Wootton, Rossiters Garage later shifted to Dersingham in 1990, marking a new chapter in its storied history. Over the years, the dealership has not only been a cornerstone in helping locals to sell more cars but also became known for its unique offering - it secured the UK distribution contract for AC Schnitzer, a specialist tuning company for BMW and Mini cars. This accomplishment underscores the garage's commitment to diversifying and adapting in a dynamic automotive landscape.

Chris Rossiter, who has been at the helm of this enterprise for 40 years, recently announced his retirement at 68, signifying the closure of Rossiters Garage on April 30th. In his remarks, Mr. Rossiter reminisced about the journey, highlighting the lasting relationships formed with loyal customers and the dedication of long-serving staff members, like sales director Richard Asker, who has been a part of the team for nearly 25 years. These anecdotes paint a picture of a business built on trust, friendliness, and a ‘no pressure’ sales ethos - values that have become increasingly rare in today's fast-paced sales environment.

Rossiters Garage, in its quiet, unassuming way, has left an indelible mark on its community. As a nod to its loyal clientele, the garage is inviting customers to partake in refreshments and bid adieu between April 26th and 28th, a gesture that epitomises the warmth and camaraderie that have been the hallmarks of the business.

In a poignant reflection, Mr. Rossiter expressed how much he would miss the camaraderie and connections fostered over the decades. His departure signifies not just the end of a business but the closing of a chapter in local motor trade history. The legacy of Rossiters Garage stands as a testament to the power of community, personal service, and the enduring value of human connections in the world of car sales.

Our Guarantee

We’re 100% confident MotorTrade Ai delivers real results for UK dealers — so confident, we’ll prove it upfront before you spend a penny.

earning before they’ve even paid us.

No fluff. No risk. Just results.

Heard it all before?!

How do you know it will be different this time?


Built by the trade, for the trade.


We know exactly what it’s like to run a dealership—because we’ve done it ourselves. Between us, we’ve owned and operated car dealerships for years, spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on marketing and advertising to try and move more metal.


Some of it worked. A lot of it didn’t. We bought into shiny promises that looked great on paper but delivered nothing but a lighter bank balance.


That’s why we built

MotorTrade Ai

—an AI-driven solution designed specifically for the UK motor trade, by people who’ve actually been in it.


We’ve used our combined 50+ years of experience to create tools that help you:


- Book sales appointments with previous customers

- Generate 5⭐️ Google reviews

- Manage inbound leads and turn them into buyers

- Drive real, measurable ROI—even in slow months like December


And we do all of this cost-effectively, with speed and simplicity.


We’re proud to say that our customers see a near-instant return on investment—and we’re always happy to

prove it upfront.


The motor trade is a small world, and unless you’ve lived it, you don’t truly get it. That’s what makes MotorTrade Ai different. We’re not a tech startup trying to break into the industry—we’re the industry, using AI to solve real problems that real dealers face every day.
