Reflecting on the last five years in the business, JP Agostini, General Manager at LAFAST Motors said, “We opened our doors in 2019 with BMW and Mini and got off to a great start before the COVID-19 pandemic came and we had to close our doors at times. So the first few years were very turbulent. But since coming out of the pandemic, we’ve seen year-on-year growth through the strength of the brands we represent and the strength of our team. We were very excited by the addition of BYD earlier this year – globally, it’s been making a lot of noise and we expect to see the same in Trinidad. We have a lot to look forward to from our brands – we have two new models en route for BYD, and the new BMW X3 and the MINI Aceman are expected later this year. There is a lot more coming but that’s all I’ll say for now.”

He explained, “Something we pride ourselves on is our personalised after-sales care. We really try to treat each customer on an individual basis. It can be challenging because we’re a relatively small dealer but we take an almost boutique-style approach to how we treat customers. You feel at home when you come here, we have a welcoming culture and we give customers that one-on-one attention. It’s been a big part of our success.”
