Isuzu bolsters national network in Broken Hill

A new Isuzu Dealer Service and Parts Branch has officially opened in outback Australia.

The all-new 3,000m² site in Broken Hill is situated on a crucial inland route both north and south via the Silver City Highway and east-west along the Barrier Highway.

With the proliferation of mining and associated industries, as well as the many trucks and travellers using the highways that pass through the regional hub, the new Broken Hill Truck Centre will be the first port of call for regular servicing or emergency breakdown repairs for Isuzu trucks.

Owned and operated by Glenn and Rod Leake as part of the Mildura Truck Centre Dealership, which also includes Swan Hill, the Broken Hill facility is part of Isuzu’s vast 70-plus dealer footprint across the breadth of Australia, servicing Isuzu’s full range of light, medium and heavy-duty trucks. ​

“This new facility is a huge turning point for the business in Broken Hill,” said General Manager Anthony Dalfarra.

“It will provide an increased level of customer service, an increased level of amenity and access to Isuzu parts. It’s the pre-eminent commercial vehicle hub and support centre of Broken Hill. ​

“Whether the customer is a local wholesale food supplier who has a small Isuzu distributing to local businesses, or whether it’s a local linehaul operator or someone from out of town or interstate, passing through Broken Hill…they know they can get parts and service here in town.” ​

Dalfarra said those familiar with the former location will not have to look too far for the new facility.

“The new facility is on the same street as the original Broken Hill Truck Centre, which we took over back in 2013,” he said. ​

“It’s been built from the ground up with new offices, a huge parts showroom and a larger warehouse means greatly improved levels of stock on hand. ​

“It’s all about managing downtime in the truck world. We want to increase uptime for our customers and get them back on the road quickly and efficiently.”

Isuzu Australia Limited’s Head of Network Development, Nathan Ton, said the brand was delighted with the new facility located in such a key location.

“It’s a fantastic representation of the Isuzu brand in Broken Hill,” Ton said. ​

“It provides the level of servicing and parts that our customers have come to expect in this region and indeed across the country.

“We have every confidence this facility will not only service the broader region but also serve as a strategic pit-stop for operators passing through. ​

“It’s certainly a big boost to our network of over 70 dealerships and service and parts outlets around Australia.”
