History and Heritage
Kevin Burt Ltd. to KBL Automotive
We opened business in 1976 as an independent European car repair specialist leading the South Island of New Zealand in the likes of Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW and their subsidiaries. Over the years we have proudly looked after our customers and their fleet of automotive vehicles ranging from prestigious classics to the newer modern versions. Our ethics come down to building long term relationships, honest advice, and dependability.
KBL Automotive
For Rana, bespoke European vehicles are a way of life. Having trained as an auto technician in 2007, his passion moved up a gear when he and his wife Swati became custodians of KBL Automotive
Kevin Burt Limited was founded in 1976 by Kevin and Maxine Burt as Christchurch’s definitive Mercedes-Benz garage. Kevin Burt Ltd eventually expanded to cater for other European makes before the couple retired in 2019.
Rana, an MBA in Business from Massey University, and his wife, who trained as a dentist, have a vast portfolio of successful businesses behind them. With Rana’s deep knowledge and passion towards European brands, he has been an ideal choice to continue their legacy.
What started as a few cars grew into a fully-fledged European Car dealership in 2020. EuroHub Cars gives buyers the same level of transparency and quality service which emulates the core of KBL. Later in 2021 the OneHub was added, catering to all vehicles to feature as a part of Rana and Swati’s vision of a one-stop hub for all manner of motorists.
One would definitely agree the future of KBL Automotive has never looked brighter.
