Rolls-Royce announces new dealership on Long Island

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America is pleased to announce the appointment of a new dealership in Plainview, Long Island, New York, USA.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Long Island will open on October 10th, 2009 and will be located at 45 South Service Road in Plainview, New York. It will join the North American Rolls-Royce Motor Cars dealer network as one of only 34 showrooms on the continent. The dealership will also be selling vehicles under the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Provenance programme, certifying previously owned Rolls-Royce motor cars for client acquisition.

The new dealership will be operated by Mr. Stuart Hayim, a property developer and champion powerboat racer, and his sons Garrett and Gregg. Together, they have been building a growing collection of boutique automotive showrooms for the last five years. Since opening their first dealership, the Hayim family has donated a portion of every sale to charity.

“We are privileged to offer the world’s most renowned ultra-luxury car. The selection process for Rolls-Royce dealers is extremely rigorous and we are very excited to join the expanding Rolls-Royce network,” says Hayim.

“Our focus has always been based on customer service and that customer-centred culture emanates throughout our team,” says Thomas Roach, Executive Vice President of Operations at the new dealership.

Paul Ferraiolo, President of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America, notes: “We welcome Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Long Island to our dealer network. Their team has a long standing passion for automobiles. We have selected them as our newest dealer because they have demonstrated a dedication to quality and service.”

With a glorious history dating back to 1904, Rolls-Royce is recognised around the world as the choice for individuals with the most discerning taste in motor cars. For 2009, Rolls-Royce has a four model line-up: Phantom, Phantom Extended Wheelbase, Phantom Drophead Coupé and Phantom Coupé. The all-new Rolls-Royce Ghost, the first of a new model series was recently unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show in September.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost will be the latest hand-built offering from the Rolls-Royce manufacturing plant in Goodwood, England. Smaller, more informal and dynamic than the Phantom, Ghost presents an integration of classic Rolls-Royce coachwork with the latest technology. North American customers will begin taking deliveries of the Rolls-Royce Ghost in the spring of 2010.
