Quebedeaux Mitsubishi is hosting a grand opening event to announce its presence as the only Mitsubishi dealership in Southern Arizona since 2011.
The new dealership, 3434 E. Speedway, opened about a month ago next to the Quebedeaux Buick/GMC property. The event Friday, April 8, and Saturday, April 9, will include balloons, soft drinks and hot dogs to bring people onto the property.
The lotβs inventory includes about 250 used and 120 new vehicles, said Paul Quist, general sales manager at the Mitsubishi property.
βSales have been OK. Our advertising is starting to kick in now. People just need to be aware that weβre here,β said Quist.
He has been with Quebedeaux for six years, formerly as sales manager at GMC, which has been owned and operated by the Quebedeaux family since 1957, according to a statement from the company.
There has been no Mitsubishi dealership in Tucson since Jim Click closed his at 6370 E. 22nd St. five years ago.
βAny customers in Tucson that own Mitsubishis have had to go out of town for any warranty work. Now they can come here and itβs easy, and itβs good for the economy in Tucson,β Quist said.
