At this new dealership local Volvo, UD and Mack truck customers are offered upgraded facilities and services.
The new, large and modern dealership is Western Truck Group’s tenth site, with operations now stretching through regional Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory, from Dubbo to Darwin.
Western Truck Group has made this investment in their dealer network with the goal to ultimately provide better services for customers.
In addition to the new 14-bay state-of-the-art workshop, this 9000sqm site has a full drive-through wash bay and will operate from Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5pm and Saturday mornings by appointment. Truck sales will also be managed out of the new dealership, in addition to parts and service.
“We have outgrown our current, ageing facilities, with access now difficult as a result of change of industry in our current location. With the appointment of truck sales, we required a larger, more accessible retail offer,” Russell Edwards, WTG General Manager Business Services said.
