Jason Chandra brings decades of experience and a trust-first approach to Fiji’s automotive industry through Jason Auto & More.

About nine people are employed now following the opening of Jason Auto & More Pte Ltd in Vatuwaqa.

Owner Jason Chandra says the new vehicle dealership will not only support car buyers through a trust-led approach but also create much-needed jobs in the community.

Chandra, who has more than 30 years of experience in finance and the automotive industry, says the dealership will offer roles for sales specialists, admin staff, automotive technicians and customer service officers.

Speaking about the dealership, Chandra says the business is about building a team grounded in values, people who respect customers, understand their needs, and are committed to transparent and honest service.
