Vivo Energy Ghana, has launched the first-ever drive-through lube bay in the country.
The
lube bay, dubbed: Shell Rimula Express Lube Bay, is the first of its kind in
the industry and has been designed specifically to provide heavy-duty trucks
with express maintenance services such as engine oil changes, radiator coolant
services, greasing, diagnostics, battery testing, as well as free safety check
services for trucks.
The
Lubricants Sales and Marketing Manager, Kwame Mireku Asante, who spoke on
behalf of the Managing Director at the launch in Accra on September 30, said
“As a company, innovation is implanted in our DNA and the customer is at the
heart of every decision we make. In line with this, we continue to invest in
quality, innovative, customer-focused products and services which will give
value and excellent experience to customers.”
Services
He
said Vivo Energy Ghana was the first Oil Marketing Company (OMC) to introduce a
lube bay with a drive-through specifically designed to service heavy-duty long
vehicles, trucks, buses, cross-country vehicles, and mini trucks using
lubricants, which were also designed to offer enhanced protection, improved
wear resistance and overall reliable lubrication for longer lasting engines,
from the number one Global Lubricant Supplier.
He
said customers who bring their vehicles to the lube bay would be offered free
safety checks to ensure the safe condition of their vehicles and guarantee
their safety.
“The new lube bay facility has a
customer-friendly waiting room conducive for customers to wait while their
vehicles are being given the best of service by our well-trained technical
staff,” Mr Asante added.
He
called on fleet owners, transporters, private organisations and haulage
companies to visit the new lube bay for guaranteed servicing and safety of
their vehicles.
Speaking
on behalf of the transporters, the Deputy Managing Director of J.K. Horgle
Transport, Elinam Horgle, said “As transporters, we value our trucks and
vehicles, and we make significant investments to make sure they are always in a
good and safe condition for use.
For
this reason, we are excited about the new ultra-modern Shell Rimula Express
Lube Bay and we are grateful to Vivo Energy Ghana for this facility, which has
been specially designed for light and heavy-duty diesel engine vehicles like
ours.”
Appreciation
The Executive Secretary of the
Transport Owners Association, Ignatius Doe, described the bay as a perfect lube
bay for vehicles because of the experience and competence of the mechanics.
He
said heavy-duty truck drivers worked hard and it was required for them to have
adequate rest before and during their journeys, a reason why the facility comes
as a relief to the association, as drivers would now have a comfortable place
to rest while their vehicles were being serviced.
