Penske network expands in Queensland

Penske Australia acquires truck and automotive repair and maintenance business in Yatala

The Penske Australia footprint has grown once more, with the firm recently acquiring Total Fleet Maintenance (TFM) near Yatala, in southeast Queensland.

The acquisition is effective from September 1.

Total Fleet Maintenance is a family-owned heavy-duty truck repair and maintenance business that has been grown by Steve Edmunds and has been operating for 16 years.

The third Penske Australia retail location in southeast Queensland, the Yatala facility will extend support coverage for Western Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus, Dennis Eagle, Detroit, and Allison Transmission customers.

“In addition to our Wacol and Lytton facilities in Brisbane, our increasing on-highway customer base in south-east Queensland gave us an opportunity to expand our service network through TFM, which has a fantastic reputation in the area and brings skill and expertise to our network,” said John Delany, General Manager – eastern operations, Penske Australia.

“We’re now able to cover the two largest regions in Queensland being Brisbane, including the port, and the Gold Coast.”

The Yatala facility features 21 workshop bays, brake and suspension testing capability, an authorised heavy-vehicle inspection station, and an air-con re-gas service, with a 2000 square metre workshop situated on a 6678 square metre site.

Penske says it will introduce retail parts sales to the location in due course.

“As the 20-strong TFM workforce transitions into a Penske Australia location, led by branch manager Carl Landridge and assisted by Mark Parcell and Damon Hogg, the team will continue to provide the same service excellence that existing customers have come to expect,” said John.

“This will be further backed by Penske Australia’s ‘customer first’ philosophy, our streamlined systems and processes, and our extensive national parts capability that is underpinned by our world-class Penske Distribution Centre, located in Wacol.

“As we’ve done recently with Lytton and now in Yatala, Penske will continue to invest in our branch network to ensure we are located where our customers need us and also to ensure that our facilities are equipped with the highest-performing equipment and tooling.

“Over the coming months, the TFM branch will be upgraded and rebranded to Penske Australia Yatala.”

The new Penske facility is located at Shed 3, 153 Rossmanns Road, Stapylton. The team can contacted on 1800 549 701.
