Hamilton East based Ebbett Volkswagen is now only a few weeks away from moving into their brand new, state-of-the-art dealership in Te Rapa. The new dealership has been designed and built to provide the best experience for all customers and sets a new benchmark in the automotive industry.
Ebbett Volkswagen Hamilton is New Zealand’s most awarded Volkswagen dealership and has seen huge growth in the Waikato over the last four years.
Supporting local charities such as Hospice Waikato and starting the ‘Think Blue’ initiative which promotes the use of electric vehicles as a fleet solution, Ebbett Volkswagen is not only growing in size, but also in our community.
‘The people of Waikato have really come to love our brand, and we are excited to be able to offer them an even better experience and a wider range of vehicles at our new premises in Te Rapa.’ states dealer principal Poll Oosthuizen.
The new Volkswagen premises will be a massive 200% bigger than the current location and will include more parking spaces and a wider range of mobility solutions for service customers.
With the new expressway in development, out-of-town customers will also have easy access to the new location without having to pass through Hamilton city.
Interview with Dealer Principal, Poll Oosthuizen
Tell us a little bit about Ebbett Volkswagen and what this move means for you and your team.
Moving into a brand new dealership really means a lot to myself and the VW team. We’ve had massive growth over the last five years and have grown from New Zealand’s sixth largest
Volkswagen dealership, to now the second.
Poll Oosthuizen
Our team has worked incredibly hard to get to where we are today and are grateful for all the ongoing support from the community. Ebbett Group’s investment into the new premises also gives us a lot of confidence moving forward and we look forward to growing even bigger in the Waikato.
What can customers expect at the new dealership in Te Rapa?
With the new dealership we will be striving to deliver an industry-leading customer experience across all of our departments. We have more customer parking, a smoother service experience, a relaxing consultation area for sales and finance, and an even wider range of vehicles to browse. Our new dealership is going to be a place that customers will enjoy spending time in.
What is in store for the future of Volkswagen?
We have had some exciting new product come out this year with the launch of the compact SUV T-Cross and the re-launch of the T-Roc. These two vehicles really complete the Volkswagen line-up and have been hugely popular since they arrived in NZ.
On the horizon, the Volkswagen Grand California campervan is soon to be available and the latest version of the iconic Golf – The Golf 8, will be making an appearance in 2021. The future of Volkswagen is going to be very exciting too with the launch of the ID range – Volkswagen’s electric vehicle range which will have mobility solutions for all vehicle types.
