Our history

WINNERS OF THE MTA 2008 SUPREME AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRER AWARD

Vogel Motors opened in 1982 in Vogel Street Naenae (hence the name) and were a workshop behind the Caltex service station. In 1988 Vogel Motors purchased the now Mascar Motors in Upper Hutt and ran both service station and workshop until 1992. The Naenae workshop was sold in 1990 where we continued to run the Upper Hutt branch until 1992. That year we sold the business and relocated to 27 Rutherford street right in the heart of Lower Hutt where we continued to grow and fine tune the business for a further 11 years eventually requiring us to move into larger premises in 2003.

In early 2005 there were some major changes for Vogel Motors in the way of the departure of founder and owner Mr Martin Crooks. Vogel Motors was then purchased by employee Benn Milne and his new wife Julie. Benn has worked for Vogel Motors since 1998 and served his apprenticeship here under Martin Crooks. Benn has continued the Vogel Motors tradition of excellence and in July 2007 Vogel Motors Petone was born. So with that welcome to Vogel Motor Group we would like to experience what over 25 years in business has taught us and what we have to offer both you and your car. I could go on but as the old saying goes ‘Action speaks louder than words’
