Gazley Motor Group - Dealership for Fiat Chrysler in Wgtn

Gazley Motor Group Opens Multi-Million Dollar Dealership for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in Wellington

Wellington’s leading prestige and premium automotive company, the Gazley Motor Group, has invested a total of more than $4 million in a new dealership to service Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the national capital.

“Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the company that has brought together some of the most iconic brands in the car industry, is one of the great success stories of the past decade and I am thrilled to be able to represent them in Wellington,” says Myles Gazley, Managing Director of the Gazley Motor Group. “Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is not just highly successful now; it is making a considerable investment in the future to further grow its brands. We are, therefore matching this will a multi-million dollar investment of our own so that we may not only provide outstanding customer service now, but also for all the planned future models.”

Situated at the corner of Lorne Street and Cambridge Terrace, the new facility has 500 square metre showroom, capable of displaying more than 30 vehicles, with additional space for eight demonstration vehicles ready for customer test drives. Extensive use of glass and light colours enables the cars to be viewed under optimum conditions. Positioned in Pirie Street, the After Sales department boasts six service bays equipped with the latest service and maintenance technology.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has brought together legendary brands from both sides of the Atlantic, including Jeep and Alfa Romeo as well as Fiat and Chrysler, not to mention Dodge and Fiat Commercial Vehicles. This unique range of vehicles not only provides the Gazley Motor Group with the ability to meet a broad range of customer requirements but also the challenge to present this diverse range of brands and models.

“Clearly the requirements of a client buying a Jeep Wrangler to explore the hidden depths of New Zealand are quite different from someone looking at a Fiat 500 for ultimate chic city car,” says Mr Gazley. “Therefore our investment is much more than in the building, it is also about putting together a team of people with the knowledge, ability and skills to present and demonstrate each car, as well as having the people fully maintain our clients’ cars to the highest standards.”

The business will be run by Matthew Calder, who brings extensive experience in running premium and luxury dealerships. On the sales side Jeff Edwards has more than 40 years of experience working with Alfa Romeo and Fiat and he is keen to match this with the American brands now included within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He is supported by Elliot Andrew who adds to his knowledge of the brands his motorsport experience which provides a unique insight into the performance brands such as Alfa Romeo and SRT. On the Aftersales side Shaun Hickman and Nathan Thomas have extensive experience across all the brands handled by the new company.

“It is much more than a good business decision to represent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles,” says Myles Gazley. “These are brands that are driven by real passion, whether its performance and style of an Alfa Romeo, climbing a mountain in a Jeep, cruising the city in a chic Fiat or experiencing the muscle power of a real American Hemi V8 in a Chrysler, these are brands that bring real pleasure and excitement. My team and I just can’t wait to bring these unique automotive experiences to drivers in Wellington!”
