After a couple of years of disruption with two moves in a few years, Iveco in Brisbane has found a new home and has come up with a state-of-the-art dealership for Iveco in Brisbane, in Wacol, in the South West Brisbane trucking hub.
PowerTorque visited the new Iveco dealership facility in Wacol, Brisbane which has replaced the former facility in Rocklea. The new dealership is located at 20 Westgate Street, Wacol, within the city’s new truck hub corridor, sitting on a 22,000m² site with approximately 7,000m² of warehousing, office and service facilities.
The facility has been redesigned and refurbished on the site of the former Mack headquarters building. The new facility includes a fully refurbished 20 bay workshop with two drive-through B-Double service pits, which allows ‘no unhitch’ truck and trailer servicing of larger combination trucks.
Although the dealership is based on a former truck facility, the new design sees the same bricks and mortar transformed by a completely different flow and the way the building works for customers and their trucks going through the dealership.
There is considerably more parking for vehicles with a second level of hard standing being built above the original car park and at the same level as the apron for the row of workshop bays. This design leaves plenty of room for new trucks and those waiting for a service, plus providing a large covered storage area for the Iveco Daily vans passing through the facility.
A large canopy has been erected where customer trucks on arrival, before heading into the newly built and spacious service reception area.
As you would expect in a new dealership the redesigned workshop features the latest servicing equipment and diagnostic tools as well as a brake roller tester with shaker and a new lubrication dispensing system at each work station. All of this allowing Iveco’s factory-trained technicians to efficiently diagnose, service and repair the full Iveco vehicle range and trailing equipment.
