Hail storms large enough to damage vehicles and property in Goulburn are a rare occurrence.
Unfortunately for South Goulburn residents and Goulburn Country Motors, Friday January 11, 2019 was one of those days. As the hail storm rolled through, all the team could do was cross their fingers and hope.
“It came in so quickly we didn’t even have time to get our sold cars under cover” said general manager David Albrighton.
“20 minutes earlier it was sunny, blue skies and all of a sudden it was belting down”.

However, Mr Albrighton was optimistic about the effect this would have on sales. “Look, it’s certainly less than ideal and comes at a considerable cost to us to repair all of these cars, but every cloud has a silver lining. The small dents have been pushed out by professionals and all these cars in stock will be sold at prices never to be repeated, so it’s a great thing for our loyal customers.”
Mr Albrighton also said Goulburn Country Motors was fortunate to have the vehicles repaired so quickly.
“We were extremely lucky to secure a team of eight professionals immediately to repair all of our cars within just two weeks. All of these cars still come with factory warranty and a lifetime warranty on the hail repair so that’s great peace of mind for our customers taking advantage of this situation. Not only will they buy at slashed prices but also have the backing of ourselves, our manufacturers and the repairers.”
