ISUZU BACKS OFFERING WITH DOMINANT GENUINE PARTS WARRANTY

With a multitude of options available in and around the truck market today, Australian businesses are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a fit-for-purpose road transport solution tailored to their needs. With local businesses top of mind, Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) offers a generous parts and accessories warranty of 3 years (unlimited kilometres).^* This market-leading offer covers all genuine Isuzu Parts and genuine accessories installed by an IAL-approved dealership or an Authorised Service and Parts Outlet (ASPO). When combined with the latest Isuzu Extended Care offer on new Isuzu trucks—comprising a 5-year factory warranty and 5-year Extended Isuzu Assist—Isuzu Trucks ensures customers can access comprehensive support from the dealership floor through to future fleet growth. IAL National Parts Manager, John Plunkett, said the warranty offer is designed to ensure customers’ needs, after the initial sale, are provided for in a carefully considered, comprehensive package. “As is expected of the market-leader, Isuzu Trucks was early to implement this initiative which, like many Isuzu firsts, has set the benchmark for a number of competitors,” Mr Plunkett said. “Aside from the obvious benefits to our customers, it’s an indication of the steadfast confidence we have in our products – a status honed over more than three decades of market dominance. “We all know too that a truck will perform at its peak and be a valued asset for longer if it’s properly maintained by trained Isuzu technicians and supported by genuine OEM parts.” While many owner-operators and fleet managers rightly focus on the type of truck to acquire, truck specs are not the only aspect to consider. When planning for long-term whole-of-life cost efficiency, and once specifics such as payload and body types are hammered out, consideration should turn towards the ongoing value the truck can bring to the business. The expected whole-of-life equation—which includes maintenance, resale and other aftersales care and service—can add up to a significant amount, making it a critical point for savvy buyers to consider alongside the truck’s sticker price. After weighing up all the options, one of the key reasons fleet owners of all sizes land back on the Isuzu Trucks brand is the access to extensive aftersales care—and a legendary reputation for reliability. Sustained value  For busy operators, ensuring critical parts and componentry are covered by a solid, extensive warranty means reduced potential downtime and the associated costs, and more time focusing on the important tasks at hand. Combined with industry-best training for Isuzu-approved technicians, and the experience of over 72 Isuzu locations nationwide backing operations, it’s a winning combination. First class safety, backed by quality  When it comes to safety, relying on the proven performance of parts and accessories from Australia’s truck market leader can provide peace of mind that money just can’t buy. “With obligations such as chain of responsibility compliance and an increased focus on workplace health and safety laws in mind, it’s essential that equipment is maintained and repaired to a high standard,” Mr Plunkett said. “Using genuine Isuzu parts fitted to your Isuzu truck by an authorised Isuzu technician not only assists to meet safety obligations but can help to extend the working life of your truck. “No matter how big or small the part or component, our staff and technicians are invested in your truck. Our commitment is to provide the highest quality parts, backed by industry-leading support and warranty, all to the benefit of our loyal customers.” ^*For full terms and conditions, please refer to the website.
