History
1912
The Preston
Carrying Company was started in 1912
with the belief that one day trucks
would replace horse drawn vehicles.
The business thrived, operating
five-tonne chain driven trucks
principally to transport milk from
the dairy farms of Thomastown and
Epping to Melbourne.
In the spirit of
innovative customer service, the
company’s Buick doubled as a hire
vehicle on weekends to chauffeur
city folk around the countryside.
One weekend, a passenger asked where
she could buy a Buick. And so,
Preston Motors was born.
1948 Onwards
Australia's own
car, the Holden was
launched in 1948 with
Preston Motors operating
as an appointed
distributor from the
inception of Holden
vehicles. The Essendon
North location continues
to serve their loyal
Holden customers.
Today,
the Preston Motors Group
is able to provide the
most competitive pricing
and after sales service
on all major
volume-selling vehicle
makes in Australia.
Whatever your
preference, Preston
Motors is proud to
deliver service which
goes beyond all
expectations.
