Motor Truck Distributors (MTD) will bring together Invercargill’s Volvo truck and bus franchises in a brand new facility to be part of the Truck Stops national network.
Opening January 7, 2013, MTD director John Keenan says the new larger operation will provide critical mass, driving operating efficiencies and giving customers a one-stop shop for Volvo products.
“This will be the most up to date facility in the region; we can now provide seamless accounts, invoicing and parts systems to greatly improve customer experience,” says Keenan.
Clive Jones, national sales manager for MTD/Volvo trucks and buses, says the new facility expands Volvo’s presence in the region, enabling future growth of the brand on the back of a growing customer base.
“This multi-million dollar investment in Invercargill further cements our commitment to our customers and the Southland region,” says Jones.
“We thank Colin Cray and his team at Invercargill Truck Servicing (ITS) who have provided our customers exceptional service for the last 14 years – they have contributed significantly to our growth in the region.”
The new centre will feature six service bays and is to be stocked with the latest equipment and tooling to enable fast, efficient, servicing and repair.
The site will be the ninth Volvo approved workshop and parts facility operated by Truck Stops. It will also become part of the Volvo Action Network, comprising of 18 service centres nationwide, offering 24-7 callout support to Volvo truck and bus operators.
