Thompson Motors is grounded in a rich family legacy that traces back to the 1950s in Pietermaritzburg. Originally starting as agents for Nissan, Renault, and UD Trucks, our dedication to quality and service has remained steadfast over the years

In December 1974, Clive Thompson broadened our reach by setting up a Nissan dealership in Shelly Beach. The next year, we expanded our operations to Port Shepstone, where we continue to serve our customers to this day. Anchored in strong family values that have been passed down through generations, we stay committed to integrity, outstanding service, and community involvement.

Our dedication goes beyond just the automotive sector we proudly support a variety of charitable organizations, underscoring our commitment to creating a positive difference. Clive Thompson, our Managing Director, continues to lead with enthusiasm and expertise at our Port Shepstone location. At the same time, Richard Thompson manages our commercial division, while Andrew Thompson directs operations at our Shelly Beach site.

At Thompson Motors, our heritage is founded on trust, skill, and an unwavering dedication to our clients and community.
