LIAM WORMALD | EYRE PENINSULA ADVOCATE
AFTER more than two decades as a cornerstone of the automotive industry in Port Lincoln and surrounding regions, Port Lincoln Prestige, at 16-22 Mortlock Terrace, has officially opened the doors to its new, purpose-built dealership. Continuing its proud representation of leading automotive brands Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru and RAM, the new facility signals a significant investment in the region’s future.
The dealership celebrated its official industry opening on Thursday, May 29, which welcomed corporate representatives and brand leaders from across the country. A family-friendly public launch will take place on Saturday, May 31 from 9am, with the local community invited to explore the impressive new space.
The new dealership spans over 5,200m² and presents a bright, modern and digitally enabled showroom allowing customers to explore their vehicle options in an engaging, comfortable space.
A key feature of the dealership, which is the largest service centre in the region, is that it is equipped with the latest in diagnostic, repair and charging technology. Customer lounges have been designed for both comfort and convenience.
Port Lincoln Prestige dealer principal Steve Walsh said the opening marked a highlight of his career. “This is the first time I’ve been involved in launching a brand-new dealership of this magnitude and it’s really exciting,” he said. “The scale of the place is phenomenal, and I know it’s going to be fantastic for the local area.”
Mr Walsh extended a warm invitation to the community. “We’d love to see everyone at our grand opening on Saturday, May 31 at 9am,” he said. The open day will include massive grand opening specials, live radio broadcasting, free barbecue lunch and children’s face painting. “We are looking forward to welcoming you.”
