What you should know about Col Crawford -Bmw -Mini -Nissan -Hyundai - Renault
At the age of 16 Col Crawford left school to commence his Automobile career with York Motors. This was the begin of an splendid journey in the motor industry, which resulted in his opening Col Crawford Motors 17 years later at age 33. The large question was would he make it? Initially selling impaired cars, then the expansion commenced with the acquisition of adjoining properties which allowed the fresh Honda Motorcycles, Fiat, Rambler, Alpha Romeo and Honda Cars to be displayed. The motorcycles were a big victory but were handed back to the distributor. Some 12 months later Col was offered the Datsun now know as Nissan and the BMW franchise which he accepted, retaining the Honda car franchise as well. During the 1970's the business was increasing in size and volume with the continual demand for more display area. The annual Charity Unprejudiced Day saw the dealership accessible for one day of the year, to invite the community and all local charities to come onto the premises for Charity Day in which money and awareness were raised for local charity organizations. In 1984 expansion and improvement of the premises continued and a Million Dollar showroom was opened. To date Mr Crawford's fund raising has raised in excess of 2.9 million dollars and this being the 30th year of the event we are expecting to pass the 3 Million Dollar mark. In 1990 Col Crawford passed the running of the business to his son, Stephen which was the beginning of a fresh era. The years 200 to 2013 lower Stephens's leadership has seen the business double in size and is still expanding. Millions of dollars have been spent on service and spare parts facilities to facilitate all the new comforts for our customers. A exquisite showroom for our flagship franchise the prestigious and lovely BMW has been built. The size of the business has grown significantly over the years since Mr Crawford commenced as a very small used vehicle dealer on this very spot 50 years ago. It remains to this day a family business, privately owned and quiet operating from its original site known as The Corner Store. Mr Crawford is a very proud man of Stephen’s achievements and the fact that Stephen’s two eldest son’s, Harrison and Jake have now joined the company, (third generation Crawford) with one more grandson to come. Col Crawford Motors is one of Australia's largest mufti franchise vehicle dealerships.
