Steeped in history and engaged with community, Burdekin Motor Group is passionate about giving back to the Burdekin.
The dealership had been established for over 30 years before it joined Pickerings Group of Companies in 2000, becoming Burdekin Motor Group.
Dealer Principal James Jensen has been a part of the business for nearly 30 years and leads a team of long-term locals embedded in their community.
The team is like a family, welcoming everyone who walks through the doors and offering that classic country service that everyone values.
“We talk to people, we’re hands on, we know the community and there’s a familiarity,” James said.
“We have generations of families buying cars off of us who have been dealing with us for nearly 30 years.”
A genuine one-stop-shop, Burdekin Motor Group is the only multi-franchise dealership in the region, the sales staff cross-trained across Nissan, Isuzu Ute, Mitsubishi, Kia, and Suzuki brands.
“We’ve got options to give people,” James said.
“There’s not many places you can talk to the same salesman about five different car brands.”
On top of sales, Burdekin Motor Group offers spare parts and careful and attentive servicing, providing consistency and continuity of care to all customers.
The dealership proudly trains and employs local school-based apprentices, giving the young people of the Burdekin employment opportunities in their hometown.
Giving back to the community is important to James and the team, as they are continually involved in grassroots sport and local charities through sponsorship and fundraising.
It’s this community focus that inspired Burdekin Motor Group to join Burdekin Life as a Founding Partner.
“It’s to do with getting involved in the local community and giving them back their paper, because it is vital in a lot of ways,” James said.
“It’s good to see what’s happening and what people are doing, whether it be kids or sport.
“We want to support the paper and give it an opportunity to grow.”
