Eagers Automotive Limited is an automotive retail company that owns and operates a network of motor vehicle dealerships across Australia and New Zealand. Its core business comprises the sale of new and used vehicles; vehicle maintenance and repair services; distribution and sale of vehicle parts, accessories, and extended service contracts; vehicle brokerage services; and vehicle protection products. Eagers operates primarily through its Car Retailing and Truck Retailing segments, offering a comprehensive range of automotive products and aftermarket services, including financing facilitation and consumer vehicle leasing. The company also has a Property segment focused on acquiring commercial properties for its dealership operations. Founded over 112 years ago, Eagers Automotive is headquartered in Australia and represents over 50 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brands.
Recent major changes include Eagers' strategic partnership and share placement with Mitsubishi Corporation, which resulted in the formation of a new holding company where Eagers holds 80% and Mitsubishi Corporation 20%. This partnership aims to foster collaboration and explore new business opportunities in the automotive and mobility sectors, including investments in key businesses such as easyauto123, Eagers’ leading independent used-car retailer, and Carlins, its auction company operating in Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, in late 2025, Eagers announced a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire a 65% stake in CanadaOne Auto, a prominent Canadian automotive retailer with 42 franchised dealerships, marking a significant geographic expansion outside the Australasia region. This acquisition valued CanadaOne at approximately $2.5 billion and is designed to blend Eagers' global retail expertise with CanadaOne's operational excellence, enabling accelerated investments in acquisitions, dealership infrastructure, and digital retailing.
Eagers Automotive's comprehensive portfolio targets retail consumers and commercial clients across automotive retail, truck retail, vehicle servicing, parts supply, and aftermarket finance services. The company maintains a strong presence in both urban and regional locations, owning key dealership properties and leveraging a diverse brand representation. This broad geographic and service coverage positions Eagers as the largest automotive retail group in Australia and New Zealand. The company’s latest growth strategy focuses on expanding mobility services, digital retail initiatives, and international market penetration through strategic investments and partnerships.
Eagers Automotive Limited is publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange under the ticker APE.AX. Its operations include a vertically integrated business model combining retail vehicle sales, servicing, parts, finance facilitation, and property management, supported by strategic alliances and recent expansions into the Canadian automotive market. This positions the company as a leading diversified automotive retail and services provider in the Australasian region with growing international ambitions.
