About AHG - Australia’s largest motoring group

The Automotive Holdings Group Limited - or AHG - is Australia’s largest motoring group. We operate 103 dealerships across 4 Australian states and New Zealand, and we sell 10 out of Australia’s top 11 passenger vehicle brands.

We love our cars!

Of course, we’re more than just big; we’re an Australia-wide collection of local teams, each with intimate local knowledge and a genuine commitment to its local community. We work hard to build and retain trust in those communities, and we pride ourselves on not being stereotypical car dealerships. We reckon we’re anything but.

Nor were we always so big. (Yes, that’s stating the obvious, but sometimes it’s easy to overlook. And it’s not something we want anyone to overlook, whether they’re customers, employees, manufacturers or investors.) Our roots go all the way back to 1952. Check out the timeline below to see where we come from…
