December 16, 2021 <\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s business as usual at Huston Motors in Kingaroy despite a recent change in ownership.<\/p>\n

One of Queensland\u2019s largest privately owned motor dealerships, Sunco Motor Group, acquired Huston Motors on October 1.<\/p>\n

Sunco Motors has committed to continuing the dealership\u2019s strong focus on being a family-friendly business.<\/p>\n

Director Ray Jones has owned and operated vehicle dealerships on the Sunshine Coast for more than 28 years.<\/p>\n

The Sunco Motors dealership network currently spans 12 major sites covering many market-leading automotive franchises including a number of leading brands in Kingaroy: Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Hyundai, Great Wall, Haval, General Motors Special Vehicles, Corvette, Chevrolet, Toro Mowers, Polaris AG, AC Delco Service Centre and a Holden Service Outlet.<\/p>\n

Other locations offer Isuzu Ute, Honda, Kia, Jeep, LDV, MG, Mahindra, Audi and Volvo plus TJM Maroochydore.<\/p>\n

Buyers have access to more than 250 used cars which are all available online and can be maintained through the group\u2019s fully equipped service divisions.<\/p>\n

Ray said the purchase of Huston Motors from Mark and Margaret Huston was an exciting step forward for the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always looking at opportunities to grow our business within regional Queensland and the strong Huston brand, built over the past 86 years, really appealed to us,” he said. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a third-generation, family-owned business and we want to continue that legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to secure this new business as the Huston reputation is second-to-none in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

“The culture aligns to how we operate so I believe this will ensure our transition will be seamless.<\/p>\n

“Operationally the business performs very well and we are pleased to have inherited some incredibly talented and loyal staff so there will be no major changes to the business.”<\/p>\n

Ray said people, culture and a commitment to the community were what had made Sunco such a successful business for more than 28 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe base our business on family values and employ around 250 staff, a great number of which are long-term employees who have been with us for the long haul. I think that\u2019s a reflection on how we treat people and the culture we have created over a quarter of a century,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest change will be an expansion of the dealership umbrella with Sunco recently acquiring Great Wall, Haval, Polaris AG and Toro Mowers range which will be located in a new showroom to be built at Rogers Drive.<\/p>\n

A fully equipped Sun Tint window tint department will also be built at the same location with construction due to start late January.”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
