Company Overview

Jowett Motor Group was born from the experience and forethought of Tony Jowett in 1995 with brands Audi, Volkswagen and Subaru, before opening Eastern Honda Doncaster in 2000 which remains today. JMG has continued as a family-owned and operated business with its award-winning group of BMW and Honda dealerships across Victoria, South Australia and now the Australian Capital Territory. JMG is an established retail partner of Honda Australia, operating three metro Honda Centres: Eastern Honda, Northern Honda & Brighton Honda Centre. The JMG journey with Honda has been recognised by multiple National Dealer of the Year and Customer Excellence awards, to now leading national sales and service volumes. A new era was marked in 2013 for JMG with the opening of its first BMW dealership, Waverley BMW. Fast establishing itself as a key member of the BMW dealership network through a strong customer focused approach and commitment to excellence, JMG acquired South Yarra BMW in 2020. This was followed by the greenfield development of Berwick BMW opening in late 2020 and the recent introduction of Berwick MINI Garage. 2021 marked the opening of Glenelg BMW and MINI Garage in South Australia with a full redevelopment of the Glenelg site underway – due for completion in the second half of 2025. In September 2024, JMG will officially take over all existing business operations in Canberra BMW – including Canberra MINI Garage and Canberra BMW Motorrad. The growth plan for JMG continues with the opening of Chery Doncaster in July 2024 and Chery Brighton in early 2025. The JMG Executive Team is committed to fostering growth and excellence in the automotive retail operations sector. The Group aims to continue to collaborate with current and future Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver award-winning retail experiences for customers while creating job opportunities for the automotive industry and current JMG employees.
