'Welcome to the the website of the U.K’s No.1 Ford Retail Dealer.'

Norman Lawrence founded the company in 1953. He bought St Brydes Garage and started doing mechanical repairs. The business soon flourished, becoming a Vauxhall Dealer in 1962. A service department, petrol forecourt, parts department and bodyshop were added as sales continued to grow. In 1984 Lawrence Of Kemnay moved to a purpose built site and brought all departments under one roof for the first time.

1989 saw Mr Lawrence retire and sell the company to daughter Helen and her husband, Ian. After a lengthy and mutually rewarding association, Lawrence Of Kemnay and Vauxhall parted in August 2000.

Ford recognised an opportunity and appointed Lawrence Of Kemnay as a Retail Dealer in November of that year.

In July 2002 the company relocated to the current premises on the A96 Aberdeen-Inverness trunk road, just off the Lawrence Of Kemnay Roundabout. This modern building provides excellent visibility with convenient access and customer parking. Displaying around 120 New and Used cars the dealership also houses an 11 bay mechanical workshop with MOT testing station, parts department and state of the art bodyshop.

Helen and Ian retired in March 2005 and a Management Buyout provided continuity to customers and staff alike.

Over the years, thanks to a long serving, dedicated and enthusiastic staff, numerous National Motor Trade Awards have been forthcoming. Most recently Lawrence Of Kemnay has been pronounced No 1 Ford Retail Dealer in the U.K for New Car Sales and customer satisfaction.

This consistency over the years, under each stewardship, has helped the company earn, and more importantly, maintain its’ unrivalled reputation for customer care and aftersales service.
