First Volkswagen Dealership in Thunder Bay

Established 1948

Dusty's Car Care Centre has a rich history. It was opened in 1948 as the Fort William branch facility of S.J Hill & Sons, a Nash dealership, and the first place to sell Volkswagen cars in the Lakehead area. Since then, Dusty's has taken on the roles of everything from a dairy store to an auto-plex. We are proud to house our companies in this historic building and maintain it for generations to come.
