In 1959, Harold Shipp, Bert Grant and John A. McDonald went into business together. On June 15, 1959, what had been a combination of a small GM dealership and a BA gas station known as Denny Motors, became Applewood Motors Limited. At the time, the dealership could be found on Tannery St. in Streetsville.
In 1979, having outgrown our facilities, we moved to our present location on 7 acres of land in Misissauga's Erin Mills Auto Center.
In May 2006, Applewood became part of the Humberview Group. The Humberview Group is a leader in the automotive sales/service and automotive leasing businesses. With offices in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton, the Humberview Group has 700 plus employees.
The Humberview Group has a long and successful history.
