As a proud Western Australian family-owned business, this recognition means the world to us. For decades, we've been committed to serving our community with integrity, innovation, and unwavering dedication to automotive excellence. With 147 team members across our new and used vehicles, service, parts, fleet, and accessories departments, we're more than just a dealership – we're part of the fabric of East Victoria Park and the greater Perth community.
The Motor Trade Association of Western Australia (MTA WA) isn't just any industry organisation – it's the peak body representing Western Australia's entire automotive sector. Established in 1934, MTA WA has been championing the interests of automotive businesses for nearly 90 years, representing over 1,600 member businesses across 19 industry divisions.
This awards program celebrates the individuals, apprentices, and businesses driving excellence across Western Australia's motor industry. The rigorous judging process evaluates nominees based on:
When we won the Large Automotive Business of the Year award in 2023, MTA WA Group CEO Stephen Moir noted something significant: "The fact that a family owned dealership – New Town Toyota – was the winner of the 2023 Large Automotive Business of the Year award also shows the strength of independent dealerships which are not part of one of the larger groups."
This recognition came after we completed our extensive and stunning facility refurbishment, featuring a two-storey, 100-meter-long vehicle showroom and a 50-meter-long used vehicle area – a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with an exceptional experience.
Winning the award again in 2025 demonstrates that our 2023 victory wasn't a one-time achievement – it's proof of our sustained commitment to excellence. In an industry where consistency is key, we've maintained the high standards that set us apart from the competition.
ince our last win, we've continued to grow our team, innovate our service offerings, and enhance our customer experience while maintaining the high standards that set us apart from the competition. In an industry where consistency is key, we've shown that excellence isn't just about reaching the top once, but about staying there through continuous improvement.
Our recognition extends beyond awards ceremonies. We've had the honor of hosting significant industry discussions, including meetings with federal political leaders about crucial automotive policy matters. This demonstrates our role not just as a business, but as a trusted voice in Western Australia's automotive future.
Our recent facility upgrades reflect our commitment to innovation and customer experience. The stunning two-storey showroom and comprehensive service facilities aren't just about aesthetics – they're about creating an environment where our customers feel valued and our team can deliver exceptional service.
Winning this award twice isn't the end goal – it's motivation to keep raising the bar. The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, with new technologies, changing customer expectations, and environmental considerations reshaping how we do business.
At New Town Toyota, we're committed to staying ahead of these changes while maintaining the personal touch and community focus that defines us. Whether it's embracing new vehicle technologies, enhancing our customer service offerings, or supporting the next generation of automotive professionals, we're dedicated to leading by example.
This award belongs to everyone who has supported New Town Toyota over the years – our loyal customers, dedicated team members, industry partners, and the broader East Victoria Park community. Your trust in us drives our commitment to excellence every single day.
The MTA WA Large Automotive Business of the Year award is more than recognition – it's a promise. A promise that we'll continue to uphold the highest standards, innovate for the future, and remain the family-owned dealership you can trust for all your automotive needs.
