A purpose-built facility spread over 360 square metres, and complete with new-model showroom, servicing facilities, factory apparel and accessories, and even a café, Ducati Melbourne West is a part of the long-established Preston Motors Group, and the result of a collaboration between the motor vehicle retailer and Ducati Australia and New Zealand.
“Preston Motors Group is already a part of our Volkswagen family with its long association with Porsche,” said Sergi Canovas, Managing Director of Ducati Australia and New Zealand.
“Its existing legacy with customer experience and performance aligns with the global Ducati dealer network. I’m excited to see the dealership open with such a passionate team and to see the Ducati community continue to grow with this state-of-the-art facility.”
According to Preston Motors Group Chief Executive Officer, Robert Gattereder, the opening of the store strikes a very personal chord.
“I’m a motorcyclist myself and of European heritage, so to bring the iconic brand of Ducati into our portfolio is as exciting for me as it is for our business,” he said.
“With our rich history and driven culture, we’re committed to defining a new benchmark for customer satisfaction in Victoria. Ducatisti who visit our flagship dealership will experience a new and engaging destination concept and will feel a warm welcome from the first moment they enter.
“We look forward to bringing the Italian pride of Ducati to our new flagship store and delivering a premium customer experience.”
