Since the relationship with the prestigious firm Peugeot began in 1985, the growth of [Automotor-> http://bit.ly/16lty0b] [(www.automotorcanarias.com)->http://www.automotor-canarias.com/] in the islands has been the main characteristic of a successful relationship that continues today. Starting with the Peugeot 205, which sold more
than 8 million units worldwide, to the 207, the best-selling car in the Canary Islands in 2009 in its segment, the company's "good work" has made them "reap repeated successes", according to the company, which has repeated in 2013 with the prestigious award for Best Car of the Canary Islands and Best Car of the Year in Spain for the Peugeot 208 model.
The opening of the first facilities in the Costa Sur Industrial Estate of Tenerife would mark the beginning of this relationship. Four years later, in 1989, the facilities in El Mayorazgo, its headquarters, were inaugurated, and later those in San Jerónimo and Las Chafiras, culminating the coverage of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife with the opening of the
facilities on the island of La Palma.
The expansion to the neighboring province would begin in 1992 when it acquired a new dealership in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: GC Motor, which in this decade would expand its coverage with other facilities in Maspalomas and El Sebadal, later, those in Arinaga would be inaugurated.
The unstoppable growth of GC Motor has not stopped. Proof of this is the opening in 2010 of AUTOMOTOR FUERTEVENTURA, becoming the official Peugeot dealership on the island. Currently, Automotor Canarias and GC Motor have a surface area of 40,000 m2 spread
between Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.
Since 2009, Automotor Canarias has also been selling the Peugeot Scooter range. An interesting bet that offers customers motorcycles from 50 to 500 cc, and endorsing the multimodal nature of the transport solutions offered by the French brand.
