A $2.5 million investment over the past eight months has gone towards renovations and merging all of the brands together for the newly formed Bathurst Motor Group.
Dealership principal Todd Mildren said the investment shows the confidence the company has in the Central West and he says Bathurst Motor Group is looking forward to showing the public the hard work that has gone into the new centre.
"We have new cars, used cars, finance and service departments," he said.
"We've also built a bigger service department, so we're a 22-bay service centre, fully up-to-date and fully equipped.
"The dealership mission is we want every customer to drive away happy every time."
Bathurst Motor Group moved into its new premises on August 13, but COVID restrictions meant the doors had to close the next day.
It's taken until Saturday, December 11 for the celebration to start, but the wait is set to be worth it.
Mr Mildren encourages locals to head down any time on Saturday and check out what the dealership has to offer.
"There's a lot happening on the day," he said.
"We've got the sausage sizzle, we've got the jumping castle, we've got the Deputy Premier Paul Toole coming and doing the opening at 10am, and we're also going to have an outside broadcast from B-Rock."
The dealership will be running a special on the day as well, with anyone who purchases a car receiving a $500 fuel voucher.
The decision to merge the two sites was made to utilise the excess space in the current centre and provide more for customers by making it a one-stop-shop.
Mr Mildren said it's important to the company to be supporting the community, whether that be through supplying jobs or providing essential services at a high standard.
"We've got a lot of long-serving staff members; we have a gentleman who's worked here 38 years," Mr Mildren said.
"We've got a strong focus on being an important part of the local community.
"We employ locals, we serve locals and we support the local community."
