GP: What is the purpose of your business?

DB: We are a Ford and Kia multi-franchise dealership, and we have a huge range of used cars.

GP: What does this nomination mean for you and your business?

To have three nominations is very humbling.

GP: How many staff members do you have and what do they do?

DB: We have 27 staff, with people in admin, sales, service, mechanics, parts interpreters, yards people, and casuals that come in and help out.

GP: What’s the secret to your success? 

DB: Being humble and being courteous to all people. 

It all starts with a smile. It’s not rocket science – be nice to people!

It sounds simple, but that’s all I do.

GP: What is something not many people would know about your business?

DB: We sell cars obviously, first and foremost, but people don’t realise we also sell a lot of tyres, and we do pink slips.

And virtually everything to do with mechanical repairs.

More than anything, we are just truly humble to have made such an impact in such a short time.

We must be doing something right for people to be talking.
