MONTEGO BAY, St James — MAYOR of Montego Bay Charles Sinclair has described the opening of the ATL Autohaus in this resort city as timely, arguing that persons wanting to purchase new vehicles will no longer have to travel to Kingston, Jamaica's capital to do so.
"For more than a generation, if it was the desire of Montegonians to own a new vehicle you would have to make the journey of 120 miles to Kingston where all new car dealership resided. By the time you return to Montego Bay, that new vehicle could be classified as a brand-new second-hand," Sinclair joked.

The Montego Bay mayor also commended the chairman of the ATL Automotive Gordon 'Butch' Stewart and him son Adam — who is the company's deputy chairman — for their "bold" initiative.
