Ballarat Isuzu is now enjoying the perks of a newly built facility in Mitchell Park, Ballarat.
The facility will support the dealership, which has been in service since 1975, in what Isuzu describes as “the most well-equipped facilities within the Isuzu Dealer Network”.
The all-new dealership has expanded on Ballarat Isuzu’s previous offering, covering 15,000-square metres with a large open plan truck showroom and modern workshop space.
Their new location in Mitchell Park offers more turnaround space for vehicles with capacity for a larger volume of on-hand stock.
“Along with Isuzu Trucks we have been supporting Ballarat businesses for nearly 50 years,” says dealer principal Ian Deacon.
“We believe Isuzu resonates with the transport community here, keeping them moving and their trucks on the road for the long-term.
“One of the real drivers of growth for our business has been an ongoing commitment from the staff to our customers, which has led to us breaking ground on this exciting, brand-new facility.”
Isuzu says full-length service bays fitted with best-in-class equipment will offer faster turnarounds for truck servicing and boost internal efficiency for the dealership.
Parts and stock will be supplied from Isuzu Australia’s National Parts Distribution Centre, which is situated just over an hour’s drive from Ballarat on the Western Freeway on the outskirts of Melbourne.
“In a regional setting such as ours, having the technical capacity to get vehicles back on the road as quickly as we can—with parts in stock—is one of the most important aspects of our business,” Deacon says.
“We’re hoping that the new facilities will maintain our excellent staff team and existing technicians and also help to attract more talent to the dealership in future.”
“It is a fitting home for one of our best performing Isuzu dealerships,” adds Isuzu Australia CEO and managing director Takeo Shindo upon opening the facility.
“Ian and the team’s focus on their customers and the local community has delivered success, which is reflected in the opening of this model Dealership within our network—they should all be very proud.”
