After serving Honda customers in Broughty Ferry for 44 years and in Perth for 15 years, time has come for a change. The Perth and Dundee territories for the Honda franchise will now pass to Eastern Western Motor Group, a well-known and respected Edinburgh based family business with a wide portfolio of franchises. Eastern Western Motor Group has a number of businesses in Dundee and Perth, most of which trade under the ‘Barnetts’ name. The new business will be known as Barnetts Honda in both Dundee and Perth. Our Perth MG franchise will close with an agreement in place for John Clark MG to become the new dealer for Perth from their own facility on Dunkeld Road
What happens next?
The new home for Honda in Dundee from the 27th August will be Barnetts Honda on Dunsinane Avenue, just off the Camperdown Roundabout where you will still be looked after and served by familiar faces. Barnetts Honda in Perth will continue to operate from the current location on Dunkeld Road
The Suzuki new car franchise and Approved used cars will now move to our Queen Street showrooms in Broughty Ferry.

Before we say goodbye to Honda, we would like to invite you down to Broughty Ferry where all remaining Honda stock has been reduced to clear.
