In 1947 Ray Foo and Charles Kellas started a panel Repair Business in North Fitzroy. At the time it would have been inconceivable that a thriving successful Mercedes-Benz Dealership would emerge from their fledging two man smash repair business, but in 1951 they were approached by Standard Cars (the then importer of Mercedes-Benz to repair any shipping damaged cars, or company cars requiring body repairs. (The business at that time was Star Motor Panel Works).
The Quality of their work was much admired and when Mercedes-Benz were looking to establish a network a network of Dealers in Australia, Star Motor Panel Works were approached, and in May 1961 under the name of 3 Point Motors, they were appointed as an Authorised Mercedes-Benz Dealer. By a matter of days they were the 3rd appointment in Australia .
The dealership grew over the years and moved a number of times as expansion was required. Ownership of the company changed in the 1980’s and the Campbell Family have retained ownership from that time, and all associated with the company have a strong sense of pride in the achievement of 3 Point. Testament to that loyalty is the long list of staff who have served the company over many years.
