Bairnsdale Mazda is located at 554 & 489 Princes Hwy Bairnsdale.
Construction on the original building began in August 1969 under
the watchful eyes of then owners Neville and Deidre Hardy. The building
consisted of a small showroom, two bay workshop, parts area and
a office/tea room.
Inside the two bay workshop was a young apprentice mechanic by
the name of Ray Stephenson. In 1983 Ray & wife Jenny bought
the business from Neville & Deidre which was a only a Mazda
Dealership, since then Ray has tried his hand at Lada and Kubota,
in 1990 Hyundai came on board and has been an integral part of the
business ever since.
From Bairnsdale Mazda’s humble beginnings all those years
ago many improvements have been made to make the business the great
success it is today. Some of the changes that have been made include
two upgrades to the workshop, the first one was in 1990 which increased
the capacity from a small two bay operation into a six bay workshop,
and then in 2002 there was another upgrade, this was made possible
by the acquisition of a privately owned business across the highway
from the Bairnsdale Mazda and Hyundai showroom. An extension to
the rear and major renovations to the front of the building transform
this modest workshop into a state of the art establishment. This
now includes a very comfortable customer waiting area, large offices
and an attractive reception area. The servicing of the vehicles
is carry out in a clean and well laid out environment where items
have been purchased such as a laser wheel alignment machine, on
car disc brake lathe and a automated oil measurement system. This
all ensures that the customer’s cars get the highest quality
service available.
The showroom has also been extended and the old workshop is being
used for a comprehensive detailing bay available for anything from
a wash and vacuum to a full detail.
