Scania NZ has opened a new Scania dedicated service centre in Invercargill to support its southern customer base
Scania New Zealand has opened a new Scania dedicated service centre at 20 Wallacetown Lorneville Highway, Invercargill, to support its southern customer base and meet demand for servicing and repairing trucks in the region as Scania fleet sizes have increased.
The facility services the area between Queenstown to Dunedin and south to Bluff, having a 10-bay drive-through capacity that can accommodate 15 technicians, replacing the previous four-bay drive-through workshop that housed 10 technicians.
The new workshop includes a Certificate of Fitness-compliant lane, full brake-roller testing, and shaker-plate capabilities, along with a certified Dangerous Goods (DG) pit suitable for fuel tanker work and other DG vehicles, as well as full air-conditioning servicing and re-gassing.
“This new facility offers a one-stop shop to meet our customer requirements from a single location, ensuring their uptime is maximised and downtime minimised,” says Scania NZ’s dealer director for the southern region, Kelly Henshaw.
“Importantly, it also means we are in control of the entire repair, enabling us to manage the quality of service using our factory-trained technicians utilising specialised factory tooling and diagnostic equipment.”
