​

J&J Motors NI is a family run business based on the Portaferry  Road in Newtownards specialising in sales, arranging finance, servicing and detailing

​

Est in 2015 located in Newtownards on the Portaferry Road started out as waste ground. We as a family have always had a passion for cars and started of with selling cars from our home as a hobby. Over time we began to think of where we could get a site to trade from. When our site on the Portaferry Road became available we knew this was where we wanted our family business to be. Work on the site started almost immediately and the building was put up in just two days. To turn around waste ground to an independent car dealership in just 6 weeks it was definitely an all hands-on deck project.

The name behind J&J Motors comes from our children Jordan and Jessica, both of which work here. The mascots representing them are the monkeys on the work shop doors, this is because whilst growing up we often referred to them as cheeky monkeys

However, since then there has been a new addition to our family and a new ‘cheeky monkey’ added to the work shop doors. We welcomed our daughter Sophie back in March 2016, she also does her bit for the business and loves answering the phones and chatting to customers!
