Harney Motors Ltd.
The island's oldest dealership, keeping Antigua moving since 1970
Why Go
Every island has that one institution locals trust with their wheels — in Antigua, it's Harney Motors. Founded in March 1970 by Ewart A. Harney, it was the first to bring Japanese vehicles to the island and has grown into the sole authorized Toyota, Kia, and Ford dealer in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Experience
Set at the corner of Factory Road and American Road on the edge of St. John's, Harney Motors is a full-service motor house rather than just a showroom. You'll find gleaming new Toyotas, Kias, and Fords up front, a busy genuine-parts counter, and a workshop where factory-trained technicians handle everything from routine servicing to serious repairs. It's a working slice of everyday Antigua — expect friendly staff, island-paced but professional service, and plenty of local chatter about what holds up best on Antiguan roads.
What to Try
If you're on-island long term or shipping in a vehicle, book the service department — about a fifth of the company's business is after-sales care, and it shows in the workshop's reputation. Browsing? Ask about Toyota models suited to Antigua's mix of smooth highways and rougher back roads. Their sister company, Ace Enterprises, covers Mitsubishi and Mazda if you want to compare across brands.
Insider Tip
Go early. Doors open at 8:00 AM Monday–Friday, and the service bays fill fast — locals know to drop vehicles off first thing. Saturday hours run only until noon, so weekend errands need an early start. Call ahead for parts availability; being the authorized distributor means genuine parts, but island shipping schedules apply.
