Beginning of a new era as Honda NZ takes the wheel in Nelson

It’s fair to say COVID-19 has been the catalyst that has caused us to review all our operations. Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures.

"Regretfully, after 47 years our partnership with Honda NZ will come to an amicable and mutually agreed, end.
