History

History of Our Dealership

Johnston Motor Sales was opened in 1923 by my Great Grandfather at the corner of King St. and Burris Ave. We sold Star and Durant until 1933 when we switched to Chrysler and moved the dealership to the corner of King St. and Sanford Ave. In 1973 we became the second automobile dealer to move to the Hamilton Mountain in the heart of what has become the Hamilton Mountain Auto Mall.

We are very proud of our heritage at Johnston Motor Sales. We are now the oldest automobile dealership in Hamilton and one of a handful of four generation dealers in Canada. We feel our longevity is a testament of our dedication to our customers.

We are equally proud of the loyalty and dedication of our family of employees. Presently 8 employees have been with the dealership for over 25 years and over half of our staff has been with us for over 10 years. When you choose to deal with Johnston Motor Sales you can do it with the comfort that when you return you will see familiar faces each and every time.

Thank you for considering Johnston Motor Sales. If there is anything we can do to improve your experience please do not hesitate to call or e-mail.
