Having been awarded the Toyota franchise for Cork city, Macroom Motors is expanding and establishing a new Cork city dealership that will operate as Lehane Motors, and will represent both Toyota and Lexus brands.

Established in 1971, Macroom Motors came on board as a Toyota Dealership in 1975, and is now one of the largest retailers of new and used vehicles in the country. The company is run by Donal Lehane and his son John, who serves as Dealer Principal.
