In 1990, Benn Motors opened its doors as a service garage. Later in the years, the company expanded into pre-owned vehicle trade. The company started as a small family owned and operated business. Today they are still a family owned business, even though they have grown into a leader in the auto transport industry. Its growth can be seen in the number of vehicles they deliver per month, which is 1000 per month. Peter Benn Transport currently has 18 long distance transport haulers that cover the outskirts of South Africa.
