Geo. F Huggins & Co. has been involved in the automotive business for over 50 years. Initially they sold Austin vehicles made by the Leyland Company of the UK. With the re organization of Leyland around 1970, Huggins was left without a model to sell and as a consequence of this they acquired the Datsun (now Nissan) dealership in 1971. They further acquired the Hyundai dealership in 1984. Geo. F Huggins is also the agent for Yamaha motorcycles since 1965, and is one of the oldest Goodyear distributors having been associated with this brand since the 1930’s. The Sales and parts departments of the dealership were first located at its main branch on Young Street in what was, until recently, the Courts Building and the garage was located on Market Hill. The Sales and parts departments were then moved to the Carenage into the Huggins building, and remained there until the decision was taken, because of the need to upgrade the efficiency of the operation and to provide a better service to our customers, to relocate to the Grand Anse area. This relocation was completed in October 1993. Our new location provided tremendous improvements in our vehicle sales, parts and accessories and service facilities, and adequate parking for both sales and service customers and new vehicle stock. Since our relocation, we have also improved our Goodyear tyre service both in terms of range of tyres offered to our customers and the equipment to service same.
