WIN A TURBOCHARGED TRACK DAY

Last month we introduced you to the new generation Mazda3 MPS with its super sporty, aggressive body that makes it look ready to pounce and doesn't appeal to the faint hearted.

Now’s your chance to win a turbocharged day of a lifetime for you and three mates scorching around Sandown Racecourse for an adrenaline-pumping ride.

Join the race here and contact us to book a test drive of this turbocharged new model.

PROUDLY SPONSORING THE MOONEE VALLEY RACES

The Spring Racing Carnival is almost here again and Essendon Mazda is once again sponsoring the Moonee Valley Races.

Home to one of Australia’s most prestigious races – the Group 1 $3 million Tatts Cox Plate – Moonee Valley’s race season is jam packed until the end of the year.

This season’s events will culminate with the Tatts Cox Plate held on Saturday 24th October and the GPO Fashions on the Field competition.

Last year Essendon Mazda also sponsored the GPO Fashions on the Field giving away a brand new Mazda2 to the proud winner.

We look forward to seeing you at the races at Moonee Valley this Spring Carnival.

INTRODUCING NIGEL:
OUR NEW ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER

This month we would like to introduce you to our new Assistant Service Manager, Nigel Hansford, who has been with us for only six weeks.

With over 20 years experience in the automotive industry, Nigel has worked at other dealerships, including Toyota and Holden, and has enjoyed his move to Mazda where he faces new challenges, while still dealing with customers and solving problems with their cars.

Married with 11-year-old twins, Nigel is a keen fisherman and motor sports enthusiast and that if he were to win a million dollars he would pay off the house, go on a holiday, and invest the rest for his son and daughter.

Nigel also says that his favourite holiday destination is anywhere his new caravan will take him as the family bought it six months ago and are enjoying travelling throughout Victoria and neighbouring states.

Saying that value for money and good quality service are the most important things to look for in a new car, Nigel also believes that in life, you should make certain everything is done well and don’t leave any loose ends.

We welcome Nigel to the team and wish him the best of luck.

ANNUAL MAZDA FOUNDATION DINNER – 16TH OCTOBER

The Mazda Foundation was established in 1990 to provide assistance to a broad cross section of individuals and important causes throughout Australia.

The Foundation was established through generous donations from Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan and Mazda Australia.

Since then it has been supported by contributions from Mazda Australia through the sale of Mazda vehicles, Mazda dealers, public donations and the proceeds of special fundraising functions held in various states.

This year the annual Mazda Foundation dinner will be held in Melbourne on Friday 16th October with proceeds from the night going towards the many charities supported by the Mazda Foundation.
