ABOUT US
Servicing Central Coast over 50 years
For over 50 years, Brian Hilton Motor Group has been part of the Central Coast story. With the largest range of new, used, and demo vehicles, plus four service centres in Gosford, Wyong, Woy Woy and Wyoming, we’re here for all your motoring needs — from tyres and body repairs to paintwork and 4x4 accessories.
On the central coast since the 1960’s
The group's roots can be traced back to 1967 when a single used vehicle dealership was established in Gosford, NSW. It quickly became an agent for the Renault and Peugeot franchises in 1968, operating under the name of Brian Hilton Motor Group, named after its founder.
The business has grown ever since with the support of Notlih Investments Pty Ltd, a family company which has played an important role in the company’s expansion and property strategy.
Today, the business is still family-owned and operated by Brian's son, Josh Hilton, whose leadership and enthusiasm have fuelled the company's growth over the last 15 years from a local Central Coast business to a group with a presence across two states.
Company History
1950s
Brian Hilton’s first car sales job was in the late 1950's selling VW's for Roberts Garage. After working his way from Sales Consultant to Sales Manager at various businesses on the Coast, he decided it was time to branch out on his own. With friends and co-workers, he opened a small car yard at a former Service Station site in Gosford.
1960s
Brian Hilton Pty Limited began trading in December 1967, selling all makes of used cars and servicing. In 1968 the company was appointed as Renault and Peugeot Dealer for the NSW Central Coast and quickly became one of the leading Peugeot dealers. This brought us to Toyota's attention...
1970s
In December1972 the company was granted the Central Coast Toyota franchise. A new dealership was built and Brian Hilton Toyota became a landmark to locals as a leading NSW Central Coast Dealer. As the market share for Toyota continued to grow, Brian Hilton Toyota expanded to keep pace. In 1977 our Wyong Toyota dealership was opened.
1980s
The eighties saw continued growth and in August 1986 the Gosford business moved to our current site at 600 Pacific Highway, North Gosford.
1990s
The 1990s challenged us as the economic downturn saw the Australian economy suffer its worst recession since the 1930s Great Depression. However, through the commitment and dedication of our people, we stood firm and survived, whilst continuing to support the community and local motor sport scene.
2000s
The new millennium marked a key milestone for us, as significant company success prompted further business growth, not only within the NSW Central Coast but we opened dealerships across the Sydney and NSW Mid-North Coast regions. March 2000: Woy Woy Service Centre was opened.
