Gauci Automobiles

Gauci Automobiles is a Birkirkara dealer for buyers who want something special: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Aston Martin sit alongside Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Maserati in its stock. The company has operated since 1995, and it has built its name on honesty and on cars that are as good as they look. It is one of the more upmarket names among the car dealerships in Malta in our directory.

For a UK buyer the appeal is a dealer used to serving clients who live elsewhere. The virtual approach means you can study the cars from home, ask questions and arrange a viewing for the days you are on the island, rather than spending a trip looking at forecourts. If you are thinking of moving, the Malta digital nomad guide shows the residence routes for remote workers.

History and the team

Gauci Automobiles Co. Ltd was formed on 26 April 1995 by Joseph Gauci as Chairman and Paul Gauci as Managing Director, building on a family connection to the motor trade that goes back to the 1970s. It began as a small showroom in Birkirkara and moved to a much larger one in 2009, one of the biggest on the island. After about ten years in that space the team shifted its focus to a virtual, online approach and later closed the large showroom.

Mark Gauci is now Owner and Managing Director, working with Paul and with sales executive Charles Zammit. The company motto is your car, our reputation. The sales team offers quotations, car insurance, licensing, personalised number plates and after-sales service.

Cars, leasing and part-exchange

Stock is chosen with care and focuses on luxury and performance models: examples include a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, an Aston Martin Vantage, a Mercedes G-Class, a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica and Urus, and a Ferrari 812 Superfast and Purosangue. Many cars come from right-hand-drive markets, which will feel familiar to UK drivers. The dealer also keeps large stocks available for part-exchange, whether you are trading new for old or used for used, as well as cash purchases.

Leasing is a separate service that covers licensing, insurance, servicing and repairs, valeting and roadside assistance, across executive cars, 4x4s and convertibles. Some cars, such as a Volkswagen Golf GTE, are listed for leasing only. Newcomers can combine this with our Malta relocation guide, while self-employed buyers may find the Malta tax guide for UK nationals useful.

Warranty and peace of mind

Each car comes with a 12-month warranty, and a 24-month warranty is available on request for an additional charge. Overseas suppliers provide an original certificate confirming the genuine mileage of every car, which is a valuable assurance when you buy a luxury vehicle at a distance. The dealer wants every purchase to be a special experience, and the team will talk through the warranty terms, the car history and the paperwork before you decide.

A seller of high-value cars is best visited with time to spare, so you could pair an appointment with a day out using our Valletta guide, a coastal run described in our things to do in Malta, or a night at one of the hotels in our where to stay in Malta guide.

Visiting by appointment

Viewings are by appointment only, so contact the dealer before you travel. You can also browse online and receive personal assistance when ordering, which suits buyers living abroad. Birkirkara is a central town, only a short drive from the capital and from the walled city in our Mdina guide, so an appointment fits easily into a wider itinerary.
