Hyundai has arrived in the South Burnett with the official launch of the brand by Huston Hyundai on Thursday evening.
Members of the Murgon Business and Development Association mingled with Huston employees and guests and had the opportunity to inspect the range of vehicles.
Dealer principal Mark Huston said this was the first time the Korean marque had been offered at a local car dealership.
Huston Motors have turned their Murgon showroom completely over to Hyundai.
Staff have undergone Hyundai training and Hyundai test equipment has been installed in the service bays so owners can have their vehicles serviced locally.
Mark said this would provide a boost for Murgon businesses as previously Hyundai owners in the South Burnett had to travel to Toowoomba, Gympie or Brisbane if they wanted to have their vehicles serviced at a dealership.
Huston Hyundai will stock both Hyundai passenger cars and light commercials, including the iMax people mover and the iLoad van.
Mark said the Hyundai range complemented Huston Motors’ other offerings at its Kingaroy dealership.
Huston Motors began in Wondai in 1935. It opened a branch in Murgon in 1979, and its new premises in the town in 2002.
The company opened a branch in Kingaroy in 1989 and shifted out to its current site on Rogers Drive in 1996.
Mark said Huston Hyundai would be hosting an open day for the public at the Murgon dealership on Wednesday (April 27) from 8:00am to 5:00pm.
There’ll be a free sausage sizzle lunch, face-painting for the children plus soft drinks, tea and coffee.
Radio station 4SB 1071AM will be doing an outside broadcast from the site.
