About Motors

Operations

The Motors business commenced operations in 1910 selling Ford cars & tractors. In 1929 Motors was appointed the only Tasmanian dealer of General Motors' products. Since that time the business has operated under a number of owners, and for a period of time the Tasmanian operations were listed on the Hobart Stock Exchange. The Birrell Motors Group, which purchased Motors Pty Ltd in March 2001, currently operates in two states of Australia – Victoria and Tasmania - and offers a wide range of quality Australian made and imported products with full service, parts and bodyshop repair support.

Motors is the exclusive dealer of Holden, Isuzu Trucks, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Citroen, HSV, Saab and Hummer motors vehicles in Tasmania. Motors also sells and services Nissan and Honda. Motors remains Tasmania's largest motor vehicle dealer with dealerships throughout the state located at Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.
