Tony Hammond Motors sparkling new car-yard at 1208 Cameron Road couldn't fit in all cars, into this recent night time picture.
(...Continued from page 8) we also sold each other’s cars. Finally, the property was on sold to a Developer who created the current shopping complex, and Tony Hammond Motors went on the hunt for suitable new premises. In 2001, I purchased the property at 1198 Cameron Road, just up from the old Gilmours site in Greerton where I rebranded with the colours and logos still in use today. After 18-years, I had the opportunity to buy the three adjoining sites, to expand the car yard with onsite grooming and with room to spread out, to easily display 100 cars with nice modern onsite facilities and parking for our customers and staff. Customers who have repeatedly purchased cars from us over the years are blown away with the wide range of cars and the quality of the newly finished premises in Greerton. Our business has always been built on repeat and referral customers, and has even sold cars to three generations of some families.
12th Ave Vehicle Centre on Cameron Road operated for over 11 years.
Over the many years in business we have proudly sponsored many sports teams from customers' kids sporting events to senior bowls, hockey, sailing and many other worthy local causes. Now that my nephew, Lachlan Hammond (son of brother John) has joined the team as Sales Manager, we have another generation of the Hammond Family continuing to serve our customers in Tauranga with the same quality service and values that follow the Hammond name. By Tony Hammond I write for this magazine to celebrate our sparkling new premises.
