The Hyundai dealership, which opened in 2019, was among the thousands of damaged homes and businesses included in the estimated $1b damage bill.
Reflecting on the challenging past few months, Dealer Principal David Brown revealed the hail battering had resulted in a devastating “double-whammy” for his team.
“I lost 76 cars in that hailstorm,” he said.
“I was actually fully stocked at the time and ready for a good November and December.”
He said 66 of those vehicles – both new and used – were written off.
