Located at 2/15 Cooper Street, Campellfield, in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, TRP Somerton is one of three TRP outlets owned by Kenworth DAF Melbourne, which itself is owned by PACCAR Australia. The other two stores are TRP Ballarat and TRP Geelong.
The mark the occasion, customers to the store on December 3 were able to meet with various suppliers and TRP staff, take advantage of special pricing, and maybe even walk away with any of a range of door prizes, like a Meritor-supplied BBQ, a Fleetguard bar fridge, and in-store gift vouchers worth $250, $500 and $1000.
Kenworth DAF Melbourne Parts Manager John Everett officially cut the ribbon and declared the store open, after Melbourne’s pandemic lockdowns prevented any such celebration 12 months ago.
“Somerton is the third specialist TRP all-makes parts store opened by Kenworth DAF Melbourne, to provide an even better service to customers within its extensive trading territory,” he said.
“Somerton is part of a fast-growing chain of TRP stores, and is one of nine across the country. The store, which is manned by experienced staff all of whom are well known to customers in the area, has been an immediate hit, enabling us to substantially improve our delivery lead-time to local customers.
“Opening with a team of four, a fifth staff member was added within a few months and more resource will be added as the business continues its strong growth. Excellent off-the-shelf availability on a wide range of parts for all makes of trucks, especially American and European drivelines, is a cornerstone of the business, and backed by direct supply from PACCAR’s Bayswater Distribution Centre.
“PACCAR’s global buying power ensures that TRP stores provide excellent value for money on a full range of top quality parts.”
TRP stocks a wide range of consumables for all major truck brands, spanning filtration, lube, electrical products, brakes, suspension, steering, wheel ends and more. Parts are manufactured according to strict quality control standard and are backed by a minimum 12-month warranty.
