It moves from Melbourne’s Gardenvale to the new address at 363 Nepean Highway in Brighton East, where it will continue to serve the affluent bayside suburbs in Melbourne’s south.

Sales manager Matt Day said the newly refurbished building befits the status of the JLR products and, for the first time, puts sales, aftersales, parts and service in the one building.

“We will be very fortunate to be working with the nation’s best JLR service team at the new location,” Mr Day told GoAutoNews Premium.

The service centre for clients will move from its offsite location at nearby Cheltenham and will now operate under the same roof as sales.

Mr Day said this would make it a one-stop shop for customers.

The new building, owned by Stillwell Motor Group and vacated by Brighton BMW (which also recently moved to a newly built dealership further down the road) is bigger and more customer focused than the current showroom, he said.

The sales team has already moved into the new location, with service to follow in the coming days and then, in stages, used cars. The used-car operation will remain on the current site and move progressively within about six weeks.

Mr Day said staff had been expanded and that most of the employees, including dealer principal Simon Reid, sales consultants and himself, are relatively new to the dealership.

The Brighton-Nepean Highway run of dealerships has become a prestige-car strip with Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW, Lexus, Porsche, Audi, Infiniti, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz all in residence.
