Australian mobile services franchise operator Jim’s Group has formed a national partnership with Carconnect’s new car-buying platform to provide its franchisees access to the best vehicles at the best price.
According to Jim’s Group, it has 5,200 franchises and tens of thousands of workers nationwide.
It says Jim’s Carconnect will be available to all Jim’s franchisees, customers and the general public.
Nearly every franchisee has a vehicle, with some operating as many as five cars.
Jim’s Group founder, Jim Penman, says the company is one of the country’s largest consumers of vehicles. It is a mobile service provider that requires quality vehicles to deliver its services.
“Because of the nature of what we do, we buy a lot of vehicles, whether cars, utes, vans or SUVs; we need vehicles to provide our services. We are fundamentally a mobile service provider. We buy many cars and do a lot of miles,” Penman said.
“This is why we have created Jim’s Carconnect. We must ensure that our franchisees can access the best and most reliable vehicles for the best price.
“We can’t afford to have vehicle breakdowns or to spend more than needed on the best vehicle. We need the best value for our franchisees, and our new Jim’s Carconnect partnership and services will make this possible.
“Jim’s Carconnect also provides services such as servicing, new tyres and scratch and dent repair. Our vehicles must always be in tip-top shape as they are an extension of our brand.”
Carconnect is a national service that connects buyers with new cars. It gathers information from the buyer about what vehicle they would like and their budget and then finds the best vehicle for the best price. It also provides other services such as finance and insurance.
“Jim’s Carconnect will revolutionise how the Jim’s Group franchise network purchases cars. It is also open to customers of Jim’s Group and the broader general public,” says Carconnect’s head of corporate and partnerships, Joe Malfitana.
“At Jim’s Carconnect, purchasing a new car is easy. Not only do we find a new vehicle for you, but we also deliver it to your doorstep or to any of our dealer partners nationwide.
“We make the process of buying a new car simple. Say goodbye to wasting your weekends visiting countless showrooms and car lots, and we handle all the details for you.
“Every year, we help thousands of customers save time, money and the hassle of buying a brand new car. From discovering your new ideal vehicle to handling your trade-in and negotiating fantastic deals, our services are accessible from anywhere.”
Malfitana says Jim’s Carconnect service will save franchisees and their businesses time and money and help them fast-track their growth. Jim’s franchisees need the best vehicle available for the best price. They can’t afford to wait months for a car to arrive in Australia; they need the best vehicle for the best price delivered to their door immediately.
“New brands and models of vehicles are arriving in Australia all the time. How do you decide which is better and what features to look for? We can help with this process too. Our service isn’t just for Jim’s franchisees; it is available for the general public, so we urge anyone wanting to trade in their vehicle, purchase a new vehicle or get their car serviced to reach out,” Malfitana says.
