Newcastle football star upgrades car at Performance 28

The County Durham–born football star purchased a Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 from Performance 28, based on the Drum Industrial Estate, and has since brought the car back to the business’s state-of-the-art workshop for a series of bespoke styling enhancements.

Performance 28 owner Tony Thomson said: “Lewis and his family have been great customers of ours over the years, which says a lot about the trust we build with clients. Lewis is a lovely, down-to-earth lad who has a real passion for AMG Mercedes models. His latest CLA 35 AMG was bought from us in November and has been back for some styling upgrades.”

Now in its seventh year of trading, Performance 28 has built momentum as one of the North East’s go-to destinations for prestige, performance, and luxury vehicles.

The business carefully sources a mix of high-end sports, electric, and premium models, serving both private clients and automotive enthusiasts.

The dealership’s striking, all-indoor showroom blends high-end presentation with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Vehicles are displayed under optimal lighting and prepared by an in-house detailing team, ensuring each car is presented at its very best.

With a reputation built on professionalism, attention to detail, and customer relationships, Performance 28 continues to grow its client base across the region.

Tony added: “Our showroom is more than a place to buy a car. It’s a hub for enthusiasts and a place here people can enjoy the experience, talk cars, and trust they’re in safe hands. We’re always happy to welcome new faces through the door.”

Performance 28 is located at Third Avenue, The Drum Industrial Estate, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, DH2 1AY.
