Isuzu strengthens its dealer coverage in the South West

Isuzu Truck UK has strengthened its dealer coverage in the South West with the addition of SMV Commercials Ltd, which has been appointed authorised repairers for the Isuzu truck range at its location in Yeovil.

Announcing details of this appointment, Pete Murphy, managing director, Isuzu Truck UK, said: “The addition of such an experienced company as SMV Commercials is strategically important to Isuzu Truck and its customers in the south west, enhancing even further our well established aftersales coverage in this area.”

First established in 1981, SMV Commercials Ltd now employs over 40 staff at its dealership in Yeovil. At its 2.5 acre site, located off the A303 in south Somerset, SMV Commercials operates an 11-bay workshop, two mobile service vans, a parts store, and an ATF lane, as well as providing customers with tachograph calibration facilities.

SMV Commercials dealer principal Stephen Goss explained how the dealer appointment transpired: “At SMV, we have a 200-strong fleet of long-term and short-term rental vehicles, and recently we expanded the fleet with a considerable number of Isuzu Grafter 3.5 tonne trucks, with a mix of bodies from tippers and dropsides to refrigerated bodies. The much-closer working relationship that developed between us and ITUK led to our appointment as an authorised repairer.”
