Western Truck Group has opened its 10th site, this time in Queensland
Volvo Group Australia dealer partner Western Truck Group (WTG) has announced it has opened a new site on the Sunshine Coast.
The new dealership will service Volvo, UD and Mack truck customers at upgraded facilities and services in the Chevallum commercial estate.
As of November 8, 2022, the old WTG Sunshine Coast site at Warana will be closed, with trading commencing at the new site.
Western Truck Group has made this investment in its dealer network with the goal to ultimately provide better services for customers.
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.
In addition to the new 14-bay state-of-the-art workshop, this 9000m2 site has a full drive-through washbay 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,” says WTG general manager of business services Russell Edwards.
“With the appointment of truck sales, we required a larger, more accessible retail offer.
“As part of our commitment to providing high-levels of service for our customers, we are investing heavily in our dealer network.”
Edwards confirmed the new dealership would be recruiting for a number of roles including technicians, parts interpreters, sales cadets, auto electricians, apprentices and yard hands.
Volvo Group Australia vice president of services and retail Richard Singer says: “The purpose-built facility aims to provide better services for Volvo, UD and Mack truck customers, as well as more opportunities and more local jobs for Queenslanders.”
“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the WTG team, who have invested heavily in their network over the past several years and are committed to providing excellent customer service.”
