A first for the Australian Automotive Industry - servicing division.
In an Australian first Bartons Group, in
conjunction with Levanta, have engineered the future in workshop space for the
servicing division of their Bayside Dealership. The two companies worked
closely on an intensive four week construction and installation project, to
deliver a state of the art automotive servicing facility that will launch at Bartons
Wynnum location later this month.
With the automotive industry progressing
at a rapid rate, Bartons chose to pre-empt the evolution and future proof their
business in anticipation of the after-sale servicing growth trend.
Strong local
business advocate and Dealership Principal of the Bartons Group, Mark Beitz said,
“So often businesses outgrow their facilities inside 5-7 years, and the cost is unsustainable. We have a strong vision for the next 10 years and beyond, so we chose the strategy of high investment in cutting edge technology now, knowing it will pay off in the long run.”
Bartons’ new state of the art servicing facility is the first dealership in Australia to install in-ground Envirolifts.
The in-ground style of lift has helped increase the amount of bays in their
servicing workshop, while simultaneously increasing their production and saving
them time during servicing. Coupled with the added safety features for their
staff and increased benefits for their clients, Bartons see their investment as
a safe bet.
Lester Sharples, Chief Operations Officer at Levanta said,
“Mark is ahead of his time. We engineered his vision and shaped the Wynnum workshop into a benchmark facility that has seriously impressed industry leaders Australia wide.”
Working closely with Bartons, Levanta
have developed one of the most advanced servicing facilities in Australia, with
key features including:
- An in-ground knucklelift with wheel alignment capabilities
- A 3-D camera imaging wheel alignment machine
- An in-ground roller brake and suspension tester for vehicle inspection
- 3 Wash bays, including underside wash
- A full detailing, pre-delivery and window tinting facility
- Waste oil and waste coolant collection systems
- Bulk oil storage tanks
- Direct fluid delivery system servicing individual work bays
- Plus 6 spare bays for provision of anticipated future expansion
