Mick Clifton | General Manager - Fixed Operations, Westside Auto
Westside Auto, based in Perth WA, is Australia’s largest second-hand car dealer, boasting an extensive showroom housing 1500 cars and an additional 2000 cars on-site for processing. With an average monthly turnover of around 1000 cars, Westside Auto conducts business both online and through fixed sales points, serving customers nationwide.
Westside Auto purchased an existing facility in Perth, WA with the intention to refit into a workshop with over 100 vehicle bays that would be able to prepare the second hand cars for sale, and also service existing customers.
Levanta's Proposal and Collaboration:
Levanta, a trusted provider of workshop equipment and fitout services, impressed Westside Auto with a detailed proposal and supporting drawings. The transparency and frequent communication throughout the project built a strong level of trust between Levanta and the client. Westside Auto appreciated the opportunity to meet with Levanta’s Senior Management team throughout the process, ensuring a clear understanding of the deliverables and process.
Key Project Items
Procurement:
To streamline the project and reduce costs, Levanta sourced all equipment directly from OEMs to the client’s location.
Delivery:
Levanta successfully installed all stage 1 hoists by the end of October, months ahead of schedule. Stage 2 hoist installation was completed by Christmas 2023.
The entire system was commissioned and ready for use weeks before the workshop opening, allowing for testing and minor fixes prior to full-capacity operation.
Challenges Overcome:
Levanta faced a significant challenge due to the existing state of the building, particularly the 10,000 bolts left in the floor from the removal of old pallet racking. This posed alignment and safety issues for the hoists.
The Levanta team spent multiple days meticulously setting out and fine-tuning the hoist angles to ensure they were perfectly aligned and met engineering safety standards.
