Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand is pleased to announce an expanded partnership with one of New Zealand’s leading automotive businesses – The Colonial Motor Company – which will operate a solus Mitsubishi Motors dealership as Manukau Autos from 1 April. The Colonial Motor Company currently operate Mitsubishi Motors dealerships in both Queenstown and Wanaka.

The latest to join MMNZ’s 60-strong dealer network, Manukau Autos replaces current representatives Auckland Motors and will operate from 1 Barkerfield Place (previously Southern Autos) with the highly experienced Jason Robb as Dealer Principal, offering sales, parts and service to Mitsubishi customers in the region.

“We are genuinely excited to expand our relationship with such a respected and experienced operator as The Colonial Motor Company (CMC),” said MMNZ Chief Operating Officer Tony Johnston.

“This highly esteemed Kiwi-owned company has a proven reputation within our industry, and we are confident Jason and his team will go above and beyond in delivering the extremely high level of customer service we demand from our dealers across the country.”

Robb said his team was “thrilled” to represent Mitsubsihi Motors in Manukau.
“It’s clear that MMNZ is truly passionate about the brand – an essential quality that will flow through our entire team. Mitsubishi customers in Manukau can expect great things from us.”

With a range that includes four of the top 10 vehicles sold in New Zealand in 2024, Mitsubishi remains an enduringly popular choice for many Kiwi motorists – a relationship that Johnston said has as much to do with the quality of customer care provided by dealers as it does with the quality and value of the vehicles themselves.

“We pride ourselves not only in offering an excellent vehicle range but also in the care and expertise that our dealership teams provide our customers,” said Johnston. “We recognise that the quality of the relationships our customers receive on the ground is critical to our ongoing relationship with them as a brand, which is why we will only partner with the very best representatives – and CMC is hands down one of the best.”
