LEADING independent importer of American vehicles Performax
International is appointing dealers in several States for the first
time to help grow its business.
The Queensland company is calling for expressions of interest
from potential dealers in several areas, including metropolitan
Melbourne, and already has made appointments in New South Wales,
Tasmania and Western Australia.
The move reflects Performax International's status as the number
one importer and conversion specialist for vehicles such as the
Chevrolet Silverado, Camaro and Corvette and the Ford Mustang.
With a record of more than 20 years in this specialised area of
the motor industry and ISO 9001 Quality Assured certification,
Performax currently produces more than 200 vehicles a year to
original equipment standards of finish and driveability and with
full Australian Design Rule compliance.
Earlier this year it opened an additional 2500 square metre
factory in Gympie, just north of the Sunshine Coast, which is
dedicated to line-production of its biggest seller, the Chev
Silverado sports truck.
General Manager Glenn Soper said the high-quality design,
engineering and manufacturing systems introduced in recent years
meant Performax International was ready to expand its
production.
"Performax has created an Australia-wide reputation for the
quality of its road-ready vehicles and consequently demand is
growing, particularly at the moment with the favourable US dollar
exchange rate," Mr Soper said.
"A dealer network, allowing customers to try, buy and service
their cars in their home State, is the next stage in our growth and
it confirms our position as the biggest and most experienced
independent vehicle importer in the country.
"We've always directly supplied our vehicles to customers
Australia-wide, but the influx of enquiries, especially from
Victoria, the Sydney metro area and Newcastle have prompted us to
seek agents in these areas.
"First and foremost, we will be seeking expressions of interest
from dealerships in the Melbourne metro region, ideally with a
location with convenient access to the Ring Road, Tullamarine
Airport and Geelong to ensure convenience for
‘out-of-towners'.
"We will be seeking further expressions of interest from
dealerships in the Sydney metro and Newcastle areas."
The first two dealer appointments, Crick Performax in Launceston
and McAlister Motors in Young, NSW, are already operating.
Performance West, in Perth, will begin operations soon.
Mr Soper said the Performax International range and especially
the Silverado sports trucks would enhance the line-up of any
dealership wishing to attract a wider target market, including
customers from the mining, rural, construction and building
industries, large caravan and fifth-wheeler owners and boating,
fishing and equestrian enthusiasts.
Agents would have peace of mind knowing they were dealing with
Australia's leading importer, converter and retailer of American
performance vehicles, which offered a second-to-none aftersales
service and demonstrated faith in its own product by underwriting
its own warranties.
