Dealer principal and part-owner Paul McGovern had a few answers to that question when West Wheels caught up with him recently.

Scania executives from Australia and overseas attended a ground-breaking ceremony for the new Scania dealership premises in Hope Valley, south of Perth. The factory-owned site is within the boundaries of the City of Kwinana, a hub of manufacturing industry and support operations. The new premises shapes up with a workshop/administration block of just under 1400m2, and a parts warehouse of 3500m2, which replaces a temporary warehouse in Welshpool that was stretched to the limits at just 2000m2.
