Customer Testimonials – Aftersales

Neil Rogers, A. W. Jenkinson Transport Limited

May I praise Keltruck Scania Hereford. Greg Middlecote & Ellie Gawler along with all the staff there are doing a great job – nothing is too much trouble. In my opinion a very well run depot.

Balbinder Singh Matharu, Shift Supervisor, Royal Mail Group

I would just like to say a big thank you to Michael and his team for the service at Keltruck Specialist Services Division.

We had two tail lift breakdowns with live mail on board at Wolverhampton Mail Centre which they sorted out for us ASAP.

Darrell Simner, Transport Manager, Hill & Smith Barriers

We’ve rebranded our organisation as a whole under Hill & Smith Infrastructure and wanted to get consistency across the business. We have two Scania vehicles in our fleet at Bilston and a mixed fleet of 30 across the business. Keltruck’s sales team have been great and did everything we asked. We use Willenhall depot from service point of view, and cannot fault their efforts.

Matthew Key, Owner, MDKey Transport

I would just like to express my thanks for the fantastic service we were provided with by Keltruck Scania Newark.

My vehicle went down with a red engine warning light so we got the vehicle into the workshop and it turned out to be a water pump issue.

Ian Spaffard sourced a pump from Keltruck Scania Worksop, got it collected and got the lorry repaired and back on the road within the space of around 3 hours so that we had no down time.

Fantastic service and thanks again – keep up the great work!

Ian Thacker, Managing Director, Shorelinefreight Limited

Driver reported having problems with his batteries and I have to admit I suspected he’d been watching the TV for too long whilst waiting for the ferry but again jumped in the truck this morning and the vehicle wouldn’t start. So called Scania Assistance and within two and a half hours had two brand new batteries fitted and the vehicle was on the move. The mechanic was called Steve from Keltruck Scania in Tamworth and was very friendly and knew his stuff.

Again it’s that old saying you get what you pay for. Thank you Keltruck Limited and Russ Kelly.

A customer from Australia

Carl Joynes from Keltruck Scania Vehicle Recycling has been an absolute pleasure to do business with.

His communication skills with me have been outstanding and upholding professionalism giving me the confidence of purchasing Scania parts and shipping them abroad to Australia.

I highly recommend Keltruck for your Scania used parts no matter which corner of the world you reside.

Darran Hill, Director, Hills Coaches Limited

Just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and your team for the excellent service we have received from Keltruck Scania Droitwich since we have started using your depot.

Your advice over the phone and the prompt booking in and rectifying faults on our vehicles has been invaluable. I have told our Scania sales person Richard Austin we will now be purchasing Scania coaches in the future after a 5 years buying Volvo and Mercedes due to the quality of your service.

Sally Tucker, Bagforce Aggregates Group Limited

Keltruck have taken the hassle out of annual MOTs. Downtime is reduced to a minimum, & the organisation & service are faultless.

From sales to service, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

James Robinson, Managing Director, DUKE Distribution

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to follow up on our earlier conversation and place on record how delighted we are with the level of service we are getting from Paul Digby and his teams at Worksop and Newark.

We have been attached to the Scania brand from as far back as 1990 – when trucks were being purchased from East Midland Commercials – and have enjoyed a great working relationship with you personally since the LION Trackhire days. We have engaged many different service / maintenance contractors and even carried out our R&M in house, in the past.

However, the level of service we are consistently getting from Paul (and now Dan) goes above and beyond what we actually expect as an operator.

Within 2 short years we have already grown to a fleet of 21 and hope to add to this further, following our meeting with yourself next week. The decision to stick with the Scania brand is being made on the service we are receiving from Paul Digby and the great relationship we have with you.

Would you be kind enough to make sure that this message is passed to the Keltruck Board and a form of recognition from them to Paul Digby and all concerned, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

James Robinson
Managing Director

Steve Leadbeater, Head of Transport, Total Rail Solutions Limited

A big thank you for turning our trailer around in a short space of time.

The service out of the Hereford depot is second to none.

I can honestly say in my working career with the HGV world this has to be the one and only maintenance provider that goes above and beyond.

Andrew Jackson, Response-Able Solutions Limited

I wish to thank your Willenhall specialist division team for helping us out yesterday, 5 October 2022. We are a vehicle logistics company moving vehicles around the UK and one of our transporters, Y77RSL, had a Dhollandia hydraulic tailgate fail whilst collecting a Porsche in Birmingham.

On the off chance and desperately hoping that you could help, our driver made his way to you. Within minutes of his arrival your team were in action and the relevant part was replaced and our driver was on his way once more.

This sort of customer service can only be described as phenomenal and to be honest very rare. Please pass our thanks on to your team.

Andrew Sleigh

Many thanks to you Keltruck Scania Cheltenham for pulling out all the stops to fix our horsebox lorry today. This means my wife and daughter are now on their way on time to get to the National Dressage Championships starting tomorrow on time. We very much appreciate your team’s efforts.

Ian Thacker, Managing Director, Shorelinefreight Limited

Just want to say thank you Keltruck Scania and Russ Kelly. One of my vehicles was having problems with its batteries last night. Made a phone call to Keltruck Scania Cheltenham asking can I pop in and get batteries checked? Didn’t get the normal ‘Sorry, you’re not booked in’ or ‘Just call the breakdown number, even though you’re parked outside the dealership’. They were straight on it. Within one hour two new batteries were fitted under R&M and the vehicle was back on the road.

Sometimes in life you get what you pay for.

Lewis Johnson, CEO, Johnsons Aggregates & Recycling Limited

Our dealer, Keltruck Nottingham, is a trusted business partner with whom we have a productive partnership which I believe serves us both well. Occasionally, and inevitably, issues arise and whenever they do, Keltruck is on the case right away. And as our primary focus is on our business and our customers, we entrust all our maintenance to Keltruck so we also can rest assured in the knowledge that our Scania fleet is being maintained to manufacturer standards.

Richard Meredith, Owner, Woodstones Coaches

Over the last four years we have gathered an in-depth knowledge and confidence about the reliability of the Scania chassis.

All of our coaches are inspected and serviced at Keltruck Droitwich, and the team there understand the challenges and needs of a coach operator. Our drivers all love Scania coaches, especially as they have plenty of space and technology, which makes their work environment an enjoyable place to be.

Michelle Griffin, D E O’Reilly

One of our trucks went into limp mode and I wanted to say thank you to all the members of staff at Keltruck Scania Burton who dealt with our truck, from booking to completing the repair to invoicing. The service was commendable and really helped us with keeping the truck on the road with the fast turnaround.

Ian Markwick, Markwick Driver Training Limited

Keltruck Scania Nottingham always go the extra mile for me, despite running just two lorries on my driver training business. If I need parts urgently, they get them urgently – if isn’t a rush I like to let them know not to put themselves out. If it is a rush I have never been let down with sourcing of the parts. This ensures that my vehicles are always ready for driver training and in top condition for the driving tests!

Service at Nottingham is second to none, with proper care taken of my lorries, despite being of an age now that things are starting to go ‘age related wrong’. Again, if it’s urgent, I’m looked after urgently – if it’s routine I make myself as flexible as can be.

Keltruck Scania Nottingham, keep on doing what you’re doing – it’s great!

Tony Watson, Fuels Transport & Logistics Limited

Damian, Rocky and the team at Tamworth VMU always go the extra mile to provide first class service and are an asset to the Keltruck network. A first class service every time.

Mark Chetwynd, Director, Chetwynd Transport Limited

Top service from Terry Gill in the parts department at Keltruck Scania Tamworth. Every part I need he got for me within a couple of hours, which means less down time.

David Green, Transport Director, George Green Transport Limited

Service is very good – Workshop Controller at West Bromwich Matt Ashmore works well with the Bodyshop. Duncan Catmur (Bodyshop Supervisor) & his team are always helpful. Spot on same day service, I will recommend to anyone with a Scania.

Mike Ponsonby, Managing Director, M A Ponsonby Limited

Terry Gill, Keltruck Scania Tamworth‘s Parts Supervisor, is fantastic and goes out of his way to be super helpful, including going back into his computer and logging on after he has finished work to help me.

Craig Berriff, Compliance Manager, M A Ponsonby Limited

Ronnie Henry, Keltruck Scania Burton‘s Service Advisor, is always very obliging and helpful when we are looking for MOT slots. His communication is prompt and accurate.

Steve Bird, Transport ManagerConsort Limited

Can’t fault any of the staff at Keltruck Scania Sutton in Ashfield, either in the offices or workshop. Absolutely first class.

Stephen Griffiths, Transport Manager, Environmental Contracts Limited

We had our first Scania hook loader this year and it is on a service contract with Keltruck Willenhall.

I would like to express our thanks to Keltruck Willenhall for the service that we are receiving, from the booking of the inspection through to the technicians working on our vehicle.

Aaron Thomson, Thomson Transport

The guys at Keltruck Scania Sutton in Ashfield did an outstanding job on my lorry when it had AdBlue problems.

I was 5 miles from their depot when I phoned in. They had me straight in, sorted and back out on the road within 3½ hours. I can’t thank Sam enough for his time and years of experience resolving this annoying and quite complex task. Huge thanks also to Matt Haynes and Matt Mawer for their help in getting my truck back on the road.

Many thanks and I will be back again.

William Rowley, Director, Commandery Coaches

In this world people are quicker to complain than to give thanks, so I’d like to take the time to personally thank you for the resent work done on YN16 WWM.

As you know we had a faulty hydraulic pipe on one of our front line touring coaches with a window of just two days to get fixed. From start to finish your reassurance and professionalism provided me the peace of mind.

As promised the coach was back on the road in no time despite one of the parts having no previous ordering history. Very happy.

On the note of thanks, I’d just like to take the time and thank you for all the back up and support in the parts department, which has been a huge help in getting us back on the road after such a damaging business year. Back up is key to any transport business, which is the main reason why we are about to order our 27th Scania coach because of the fantastic service we receive from you and your team at Keltruck Scania Droitwich.

Keep up the good work, and once again… Thank you!

See profile for Dan Mcnulty

My Volvo was painted by Keltruck. Happy with the results.

Midland Rock (Leicester) Limited

Thank you to Keltruck Scania Lutterworth for outstanding service today, replacing a turbo in less than 3 hours from the lorry being dropped off after being recovered in.

Scania Assistance correctly diagnosed the fault at roadside as undriveable, saving any further damage to the engine.

Crouch Recovery then attended in minutes and towed the 44t loaded artic back to Magna Park, where the technicians there repaired it faster than we could have asked for.

Things go wrong with all makes of lorries – it’s how they are put right that sorts the men from the boys (and the ladies from the girls).

To say the gaffers were happy is an understatement.

Can’t thank the team at Keltruck Scania enough.

Jason Ellis, Driver, Whites Transport Services Limited

Truck got serviced – thank you Keltruck Scania West Bromwich for leaving her clean inside and out, and the quick service.

She’s a different truck now, fuel economy is very much improved for starters. See you again in 6 weeks.

Miranda, Mayflower Transport Limited

Thank you very much for your very helpful assistance yesterday in the recovery of our vehicle, the effort involved and the speedy repair by your mechanics. Can you please personally thank the mechanic at Droitwich who stayed on and came in especially early to finish the job. Thank you again.

A customer in the UK

Thank you very much for your efficiency & fast reply – we are over the moon with the quote & service from Henry Wood.

We will definitely be using you as our new suppliers of recycled Scania parts.

A customer in Kenya

Carl Joynes was very helpful in assisting me to source parts for my clients in Tanzania. He kept me well informed throughout the whole process and gave me all the information I required to pass onto my clients. He was so patient despite the amount of times I called and messaged him, which is usually uncommon in the used spares/truck market from my personal experience. The patience, constant updates and communication were factors that swayed me to buy off him and I will come back to him because of this! It’s said, ‘people buy off people’ – Carl you’re an example of this. Thank you and I look forward to doing more business with you in the near future.

Becky Bennett, Greencore DTS (direct to store)

I’d like to thank Jessica McFerran & Darren Sanders at Keltruck Scania Tamworth.

I cannot fault the whole team at Tamworth – they always go above and beyond to fix our trucks even when they are under pressure themselves. A pleasure to work with.

Nic Price, Driver, Mon Motors Limited

Brilliant staff – always happy to help! Depending what work is being carried out Keltruck Scania Caldicot are always quick and efficient…. Can’t fault them!

Dave Higgs, Logistics Compliance Manager, A. F. Blakemore & Son Limited

The new Scania P-cab vehicles are perfect for the company’s operation, which is mainly within towns and cities, giving us the visibility we need. Support from Keltruck keeps our vehicles compliant and serviced, giving peace of mind.

Phillip James, Transport Manager, Greenergy Flexigrid

Damian Taylor & all of his staff at Keltruck Tamworth VMU are an absolute credit to the company. They consistently go above and beyond to keep our fleet running and are always willing to go out of their way to help both myself and my drivers.

Damian has been a real help to me and has always answered my calls and pointed me in the right direction when needed. Top bloke, top team!

Go Waste (UK) Limited

Thanks to Keltruck Burton-On-Trent. 24 hours after breaking down our low-loader is back at base and will resume normal service on the 4th January 2021.

Paul Wootton, RML Transport Solutions Limited

I would like to thank Nigel Cox at Keltruck Scania West Bromwich for putting in a late shift to get our vehicle repaired and back on the road ready to go for us earlier than scheduled.

We are not a company with a large fleet with vehicles to spare so any vehicle off the road for a while is a big issue for us so again thank you to Nigel for getting this done for us quicker than expected – it is much appreciated.

Paul Bradley, Production Manager, Wieland Nemco Limited

This morning my driver had an issue with an oil warning light on his Scania P320 so I decided I wanted to have it looked at. The lorry was 70 miles from home so a quick Google search led me to Keltruck for what we thought would be just an oil top up.

Our driver was met in a most courteous and friendly manner whereupon you set about sorting out our lorry. Within 20 minutes the fault (oil low pressure) was identified and you set about the repair. Within a very short time the lorry was back on the road enabling the driver to continue his day.

Thank you for looking after my driver.

Thank you for looking after the lorry.

Thank you for the amazingly quick service.

Thank you for overall brilliant service.

It’s really easy to complain but people rarely take time out to praise so I wanted to say thank you to all of the staff involved – you certainly impressed me.

Thanks again.

Jason Reeves, Logistics Manager, Envirowales Limited

Having been driving a variety of truck makes since I passed my test in 1994 it has always been Scania that stood out for me. But it’s not all about the truck itself – as a Transport Manager you expect the economy and the technology that comes with a Scania, but just as important is the sales process and the aftersales services etc. I have to say that Keltruck Scania Caldicot has been outstanding in the two years that I have been with my present company. We have a small fleet, all but one are Scanias and delivery of sales, servicing, customer engagement has been top class, even when it comes to accessories that Keltruck/Scania do not sell, the staff at Caldicot have led me in the right direction. Big hands up to ‘our Rachael’ at Caldicot, as me and my drivers/staff call her – Rachael never fails to help out. The same goes for Chris who is as helpful as they come.

What I dislike in a sales guy is pressure selling and the nonsense that comes with it. I’d rather not buy than put up with that but Richard Woodland is totally the opposite – honest and relaxed sales techniques with fantastic aftersales support. I can’t wait for my next new purchase. Keltruck Scania Caldicot makes my life easier. Keep it up guys – I know you will.

Rob Lloyd, Director, Sureway Express Transport Limited

I would just like to pass on my thanks & gratitude to your Burton-on-Trent service team for sorting out a breakdown for me on Tuesday evening.

Although a non account customer, with a credit card payment you responded with great efficiency to replace a brake chamber on one of our trailers at Palletforce’s hub on Callister Way. Not only did this get my driver back to Bristol within his hours that evening but also ensured all of our freight made onward connections throughout the country so once again many thanks.

I have since spoken with Ronnie at the dealership who again was a pleasure to deal with and I have received some account forms just in case we get any further breakdowns, at present we have between 6 & 8 trailers in Palletforce every night.

Tony Pichler, Primary Fleet Transport Manager, BSS Industrial

Thank you for your support. It’s great to know that we have a quality maintenance partner with Keltruck Limited. Both Coventry and Lutterworth Keltruck teams work very hard to look after us. We very much appreciate this and never take it for granted.

Wayne Rowett, Operations Manager, Treasure Transport Services

Your workshop staff at Keltruck Scania Newark are amazing. Their helpfulness has helped us all out at Treasure Transport massively. Please accept my personal thanks.

Neil Hoskings, Regional Fleet Analyst – South West, ASDA

Thank you to the Keltruck Scania Caldicot team for the excellent service over the past few weeks during these unprecedented times. This has allowed ASDA to keep fleet down-time to a minimum.

Mark Smith, Transport Manager, Adstock Bulk Solutions Limited

Excellent service last night. Never used the Lutterworth depot before & was mightily impressed. Not only were we seen straight away at very short notice, the staff also went above and beyond what was required.

Ian Davies, Ian Davies Haulage Limited

Outstanding service once again from Daniel Kamau at Cardiff branch. His knowledge and expertise of the Scania product is second to none. A great ambassador for Keltruck. I’ve been a customer of Cardiff for 27 years and he’s one of the best. Keep up the good work.

Jasmine Ward, Firow Limited

We have had a few trucks go down recently at Burton and I can’t fault the lads at Keltruck Scania Burton. They took on all our extra work and it was all done quickly and efficiently. Soon as diagnosed I had a call and then an estimate to follow. Ronnie, Danny and Jason are always a pleasure to talk to.

Uli Roland, Namibia

In August 2019 I came to West Bromwich looking to purchase used cabs. Carl Joynes was my contact person and after spending approximately two hours with Carl I realised that this is a person with the highest integrity & professionalism.

We looked at the cabs available & they were very clean and tidy. Since then we have purchased four cabs & are now preparing to purchase the next batch of four cabs.

I can only say that it is a pleasure working with Carl.

Russell Ashley, Regional Transport Manager, Certas Energy UK Limited

In a world where criticism is the only thing we hear about I would just like to send my praise & gratitude to your Willenhall depot.

One of our vehicles unfortunately broke down early Monday morning (09/12/19), blocking the entrance to an ambulance station that our driver was delivering to. We contacted Scania Assistance & it was placed as a priority job & the response time from your depot was excellent. Your technician got the vehicle running to clear the ambulance station very quickly & then waited to carry out the necessary repairs, once the ambulances had left.

So once again, many thanks to your Willenhall depot & wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a prosperous New Year.

Dave Chapman, DC Transport & Engineering

Just a short email to say how impressed I am with Keltruck’s recycled truck parts.

I dealt with Henry Wood and explained my situation at 3pm in the afternoon and could not believe an engine being delivered to my premises before 10am the following morning.

The price was fantastic and Henry was an outstanding representative of Scania in the UK. The engine was delivered on one of their own vehicles and the driver extended the same courtesy as the salesman on the phone.

I have always tried to buy pattern parts and from smaller recycling companies but this has been a complete eye opener for me as to cost and service.

I have run lorries for over 20 years now and this has completely changed my false view that buying from a dealership is expensive and overpriced.

As you have probably noticed I’m extremely happy and would appreciate it if you could pass my thanks on.

Ric Evans, Sol Drive UK

A big thank you to Karen & the workshop team at Keltruck Scania Lutterworth for outstanding service with getting our vehicle back on the road ASAP with no lost time after a unfortunate break down. Thanks.

Michelle Shooter, Chief Superindent, Head of Operational Support, Derbyshire Constabulary

The vehicle examiners have made me aware of the help and assistance which has been forthcoming from your organisation over the last few years.

In recent times the Collision Investigation Unit (CIU) has examined a number of fatal collisions involving large goods vehicles. The vehicles themselves have all remained driveable. For best evidential purposes it was of necessity for brake performance testing. Using your facilities has enabled the examinations to be completed to a high standard, without fear of legal challenge.

On every occasion you have always accommodated us with brake testing being completed virtually straight away upon request.

Please note my thanks for the service you provide which greatly assists the work of the CIU.

Richard Meredith, Director, Woodstones Coaches

For us, backup is especially important and we rely on Scania’s inclusive two-year repair and maintenance contract, which we then extend to cover the vehicles’ in-service life with us. With local dealer Keltruck Droitwich managing our servicing, it’s a formula that works extremely well for us.

Jo Tatton, Transport, Quality Liquid Feeds

I wanted to drop you an email to firstly say a big thank you for the training that we have been afforded and to let you know the positive feedback that my drivers have given following the training with Jarrod.

Driver Feedback

Both drivers have commented on the quality of the training and on Jarrod as a driver trainer.

To quote them here are a few of the comments made about the training:

‘… absolutely brilliant…’

‘… he’s really good at training…’

‘… spot on…’

‘… good guy, knows his stuff…’

Operational Feedback

In addition to the benefits that the drivers have seen I have also seen improvements in the monitoring report statistics:

  • Driver support score – moved from 55%/62% to high 70%s
  • Increase in MPG – moved from 7.4 to 8.5+
  • Increase/decrease in all the relevant stats

So all in all a big thank you to you both.

Michael A. Ponsonby, Managing Director, MA Ponsonby Limited

Thank you for rebuilding my Scania truck back to the manufacturer’s original specification in February 2018.

As you know, a car travelling at speed on the M53 Motorway hit the rear corner of the off-side rear tyre on truck registration number VB17 MAP. This caused the steering wheel to spin through the driver’s hands and turned this truck 45 degrees to face the central barrier. This collision caused extensive damage to the OSF corner of the cab and was so disfigured that I feared the insurance company might write it off.

However your excellent workshop staff performed to an extremely high standard and rebuilt my truck back to as-new condition. This excellent workmanship by your bodyshop staff deserves public recognition and as such I am happy to do so for I, like yourself, appreciate the value of high quality engineering and skilled workmanship. So well done to all at Keltruck – I am delighted with the rebuilt condition of my Scania S580 truck as your work is an excellent example of top quality workmanship. Thank you again to you and your team.

An export customer in Australia

I currently have the pleasure of dealing with the used parts department at Keltruck Scania.

I required some engine parts for a Scania DC12 engine in a hurry.

After an email it was quickly replied to and the parts sourced. I supplied the part numbers but the parts advisor still requested the engine/chassis numbers to confirm I had the correct part number and check that there were no supersessions, which was very efficient and proactive.

The parts were quoted and once purchased they were packed and ready to ship very quickly.

After the freight was arranged by my freight company, the freight was dispatched in a clean and well packaged condition which aided customs no end, and made the customs process simple.

Once the freight arrived it was in very good condition as described and ready to use.

The whole experience was very simple and straight forward which assists our company no end.

Carl Joynes was the contact who I dealt with all the way through to completion.

I have purchased several Scania parts from other Scania breakers and I would say Keltruck have been the easiest and the best so far.

An export customer in Australia

Thank you very much, Carl, you have done a great job – much appreciated.

Adrian Rouse, Caribbean Power Solutions

We at Caribbean Power Solutions in Trinidad own a small fleet of 20 Scania trucks and had been trying to source used and reconditioned a/c compressors for some time. We came across Keltruck in a magazine and gave them a try. I must say that I am very pleased and satisfied by the service I received. Carl was very helpful and prompt with taking the order and helping to get things started and everything including delivery was quick and efficient.

We will definitely be doing further business in future.

Phil Westwood, Director, Dunwood Travel

These vehicles will be working on our own UK and continental holidays as well a certain amount of private hire. Why Scania again?  It’s a fabulous product and we get really good service from Scania, in particular our Regional Account Manager Lee Wale and our local dealer, Keltruck West Bromwich, with whom we have a wonderful relationship.

Kevyn Jones, Managing Director, New Adventure Travel

As a relatively young company, our focus is on expansion and driving the business forward by delivering a positive customer experience. It is for that reason, plus the high levels of support provided by Keltruck Cardiff, that we once again opted for another Scania product.

An export customer in Australia

I have received the cab and it’s in fantastic condition – thank you. I am very pleased with it. Once again thank you very much – you have done a great job. Much appreciated.

Kristján Kristianson, KK Trucking, Iceland

I am very happy with the fast and frequent service from Keltruck Scania. Delivery two days after ordering from UK to Iceland.

I will 100% use Keltruck again.

Stephen Fagan, Commercial Director, Fagan & Whalley

It’s true to say that to a large extent we built our business on the Scania brand. Back in the days of the Scania 3-series, it made good financial sense for us to buy used Scanias, refurbish them and then run them for several years. That’s because when the time came to part with them, the residuals were so good we’d get our money back.

The complexity of modern vehicles means that wouldn’t work now, so those days are behind us. Instead, we buy new trucks and look to keep them for six years on average. We’ve stuck with Scania because they represent such good value for money. We feel we get a lot better reliability from them, and therefore less downtime. We spend less on parts and service and our two key dealers, Preston Scania and Keltruck, which looks after our Coventry based fleet, do a really great job for us.

The Scania 3-series is part of our history so we’ve saved one for posterity. Our apprentices built it up out of three old vehicles and we then ran it for a while before using it as a shunter. Now it’s parked up waiting to be refurbished and preserved – we won’t be letting that one go in a hurry!

Mr L, Hong Kong

With our latest order we were pleased with the prompt response and the quality of the parts delivered. We were well informed about the preparation of the parts through to the shipment. The parts supplied were good quality and well protected in their packaging so we can start our repair right away. All the conversations and requests were handled in real time with accurate information. We are placing another order with Keltruck Scania because of your dedicated service.

Anthony Winson, Operations Director, Paul S. Winson Coaches

We have received first class service from our local Scania dealer, Keltruck Nottingham.

Sean Taylor, owner driver

My old girl may be 10 years old but Keltruck Droitwich have done a top job on her and treat her like new. Awesome job. Matt & the team treat my truck with utter respect even though she’s old. #topfolk

John Walker, Prestons of Potto

What fantastic service I had with yourselves at Keltruck Scania Tamworth. Nothing was too much trouble – everything was done with a smile.

Your staff are a credit to you. 5 star depot.

Andy Poole, Aldi Limited

As far as courses go I have to say, it’s one of the best I’ve been on.

Keltruck’s Driver Trainer conducted the course to a very high standard and I came away with a lot more knowledge about the Scania product & the Euro 6 engine, along with some great skills for fuel efficient driving.

Neil Trotter, Transport Manager, Denholm Fishselling Limited

I highly recommend this company. The communication was great and they were very quick to deliver. The product purchased was of good quality at a very competitive price. Definitely on my list of suppliers from now on!

Delehuset AS

At Delehuset we are pleased to be doing business with such a well-established company as Keltruck. When dealing with this firm one can feel the 30+ years of experience they have built up. Knowledge of the technical aspects are present to such a high level that it makes the process of finding the right parts first time much easier.

Jacob Cobley, Richard Cobley & Sons

We’ve been buying used ‪Scania‬ trucks for a number of years now but this is the 1st from ‪‎Keltruck‬ but it won’t be the last.

We explained to Used Sales Executive, Rory Kelly, that the truck was to be our flagship, a little different to our other trucks and he’s certainly helped make this happen. We are over the moon with it! Everything Rory said he would do he’s done. Very, very impressed with the service from West Bromwich depot.

We’ve also used Keltruck’s Scania recycling department recently – again very impressed with the prices and the service. The whole team get a thumbs up from us. We look forward to doing business with yourselves in the future.

John Hattersley, Managing Director, Barry Wood Plant Hire

Keltruck have given us excellent service.

Ian Markwick, Owner, Ian Markwick Driver Training Limited

LGV driver training is tachograph exempt, as trying to keep accurate records of who’s driving at what time would be a nightmare to accurately record. As such, the training vehicles don’t need to have their tachograph heads calibrated but I like to keep them up to date to use them as a training aid (and because the flashing “Service required” notice absolutely does my head in!).

So, it’s coffee on free vend while the two yearly inspection is carried out by a Scania master technician that I had the privilege to train when he started here as an apprentice. Professional service and being treated with the same respect as the larger customers is an absolute priority to me and that’s exactly what I’ve always had from Keltruck Scania Nottingham.

Keltruck at Nottingham is an extremely well run operation. The manager knows what’s happening, the parts staff know what’s happening, the workshop controller knows what’s happening and the technicians know what’s happening. Everyone knows exactly what’s happening with the job and they all want my vehicle back on the road as soon as possible, and with the minimum disruption to my running programme. I enjoy honesty from every member of the team and I know that I can trust each and every one of them. This is a winning team, so ‘if it isn’t broke, don’t try to fix it’!

Sam Rawson, Transport First Line Manager, B&Q Worksop Distribution Centre

Can you please thank your Worksop team for me. Their response and service was outstanding.

Michael Ede, Eurovision Logistics Limited

We have used Keltruck Scania Recycling for many years to source parts for our large fleet of Scania vehicles. We always have a first class service from Keltruck and always make them our first contact if we require any parts.

Lionel Hipkiss, Transport Manager, Mereway Kitchens

We tested many different vehicles with our drivers, and Scania has everything we need in a truck.

Aftersales support was a major selling point, and in the 25 years I’ve been working in this industry, Keltruck offers the best service and support I’ve ever known.

Ionel Caila, owner driver

I’ve tried over and over again to buy some Scania clothing from different web sites from across Europe, but nobody was able to ship to Canada. I do like the (Scania) trucks, and the clothing too, cool jackets and t-shirts.

I was about to give up, was just trying this website [shop.keltruckscania.com]. I contacted them and, to my surprise, was told shipping to Canada was not a problem.

The person I was dealing with, Carl Joynes, helped me with my order. He also figured out for me what size to order, as UK sizes are a bit different, and kept me up to date with the whole process, shipping and tracking.

I’m really thankful to all you guys at Keltruck Scania and would like to congratulate them for the way they do business, like a well-oiled machine.

If you’re driving a truck in the UK, you can count on Keltruck. I do believe you’re dealing with professionals.

Dan Firth, DF Transport Limited

Keltruck Scania Recycling offer an excellent selection of good quality, second hand parts. Carl and the team are very helpful and I saved a fortune on the cost of replacement parts. Ordering through the website was simple and I collected the parts when I was next passing, they also have a lot more stock than you see on the site so always worth a call to see if they have what you need.

Alan Finnie, Finnie Heavy Haulage Limited

I would like to thank Keltruck for the service that we have been given when buying recycled parts for our Scania vehicle. We have been dealing with Keltruck for a few years and have got to know Carl and the team within Keltruck Scania Recycling. They have always given us excellent service and delivered us great parts.

Thanks for your quick response. Having visited your website several times over the last 12 months whilst researching Scania parts I have found it to be well laid out and very easy to find my way around. We have now placed our order and look forward to receiving the parts.

George Alexandrov, DGSA, Eurospeed

Just got the cab down in my workshop and I want to express my satisfaction with and enthusiasm for your service. From the first moment we made contact I was very happy with your kind and competent attitude. I got exactly what I needed in a very reasonable price, accompanied by first class consultancy and support.

Besides the excellent service we received, I found your website very useful, so we are looking forward to expanding our co-operation in the future.

Will recommend Keltruck with pleasure and confidence to everybody I know in the business.

Martin Dalgliesh, T. Baker & Sons Limited

I have been presenting vehicles for MoT at West Bromwich for several years now and Taff is a pleasure to deal with. He is always keen to help wherever he can and always has a smile on his face. I have always found him to be a real gentleman.

Madventure Travel

Keltruck have been supplying Madventure Travel with recycled Scania parts. Pictured here in the mountains of Tibet is this classic Scania 113 which is owned by Madventure Travel. Madventure is a small UK based adventure tour operator utilising custom-built Scania trucks converted into coaches to carry up to 40 passengers. Madventure’s main routes are London to Sydney, Alaska to Brazil and Africa encompassed.

The company report that they are very pleased with the service they have received from Keltruck Scania Recycling.

Phil Spittle, Managing Director, Pro-Clean Industrial Services Limited

The reliability associated with the Scania product and the excellent back-up we receive from Keltruck has helped Pro-Clean to become a reputable and reliable contractor within the waste industry.

Graham Benford, Fleet Manager, Marston’s Plc

The relationship our two companies have developed over the years is exceptional. We’re even at the point today where we support each other’s events. So when we hold our annual St George’s Day celebration, Keltruck are always there with a display and goodies for the children and we reciprocate at their events.

Another time they really helped us out was when we needed a replacement engine for our historic 1937 Leyland Hippo brewery wagon. Marston’s has a long history stretching all the way back to 1828 and we’re very proud of our heritage. So we wanted to get our old Hippo fixed as soon as possible. Keltruck were great, they did a nationwide search for us and came up with the goods in no time.

In terms of our regular fleet, we’ve got 16 Scania trucks and a 55-strong trailer fleet, all of which are maintained by Keltruck Burton-on-Trent. And on that front, they do an excellent job for us. They are open most of the time that we are – we start work on a Sunday afternoon, Keltruck opens up shortly after that, thereafter we’re both 24-hour operations until the following weekend – so we know help is never far away should it be needed. Technically speaking, there’s never an issue; the job just gets done quickly and efficiently. Nothing is ever too much bother.

Then again, I suspect there might be a little personal interest going on here too. Most of the Keltruck Technicians drink our beer on their day off and I’m always telling them that if the pubs are empty, it’s their fault – I think that helps!

Steve Marta, Managing Director, Bushcade Limited

It is a pleasure to deal with the Keltruck Scania Recycling Department as they’re always very, very helpful and do a wonderful job.

Jonathan Cutler, Marketing Manager, OSS Group Limited

The service and support we get from the staff at Keltruck Droitwich is excellent. The Keltruck team are always ready to help solve any problems that arise to keep our the fleet on the road, added to which the Scania trucks we have purchased over the years have proved to be reliable and efficient.

Paul Matthews, Managing Director, P.A.M. Distribution Limited

I would just like to say what a great service we have received from Keltruck Willenhall over the past ten years and long may this continue.

Shaun Fitzgerald, Ferryspeed

I have dealt with Keltruck sites for a number of years but I have to say dealing with Keltruck Rugby in particular has made my job run smoother.

I have been given an excellent service from the management down to the technicians. Customer service and communication has been of a high standard – any problems I have had with our fleet have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. Overall the staff operate very professionally and care about their customers.

Steve Parker, Fleet Manager, Warrens Warehousing Group Limited

We have been using Keltruck Rugby now for over 10 years. During this period they have always had our needs as their priority. To give an example; we had a vehicle that generated an ABS fault which needed diagnosing and repairing. With the driver waiting and a timed delivery on board, they didn’t hesitate to get the vehicle repaired and driver on his way in no time at all.

During some challenging times of peak volume and bad weather the support and professionalism we gain from everyone at Rugby is exemplary.

With my experience as a fleet manager I would always recommend and use Keltruck Rugby.

Alan Savage, NDC Fleet Maintenance, Euro Car Parts Limited

I work for Euro Car Parts in Birch Coppice, Tamworth and have found your branch to be friendly, efficient and helpful.

I have a meeting every Monday with the Keltruck Tamworth Branch Manager and feel our relationship is more personal rather than business. Parts and service desk is always helpful and will advise me on the best way to proceed with any problem I may have with regards to fixed price repairs etc.

The guys in the workshop I know by name and have been helpful with the designated time they give me by which the vehicles will be returned for use and, as of yet, have not let me down once!

Craig Sutherland, Scotts Plant & Haulage

The service, response and back-up support we have received has always been commendable, and the staff have always shown a professional attitude to our problems associated with operating a fleet of tippers in the current climates – economic and meteorological!

Gary Worrall, Fleet Manager, Pentalver Cannock Limited

Pentalver Cannock, formerly Bowmur Haulage, have enjoyed a long lasting relationship with Keltruck Scania for over 25 years. Keltruck’s Accident Repair Centre – with Toby and his dedicated team – have completed work for us from small paintwork to major cab replacement and chassis straightening. When our vehicles are returned to us they are like brand new – a first class service!

Bob Haywood, owner driver

Thank you to the staff at the Burton depot, especially Chris & Alan who put a good deal together to enable me to purchase the vehicle. Also to the mechanics, Matt & Ricky, who are a credit to Keltruck.

Glenn Somerfield, Regional Transport Manager (Midlands), European Metal Recycling

Our relationship with Keltruck is second to none. The flexibility that is given to accommodate our needs is great with all vehicles being maintained at the branches overnight, ensuring that they will be on the road the next day. We also benefit from Keltruck’s reconditioned parts and we’ve noticed a remarkable saving due to the outstanding levels of communication.

Derek Daly, Fleet Director, Maritime Transport Limited

Thank you to the workforce at Keltruck Tamworth for doing their best to preserve the first time pass rate on the Maritime Transport fleet of vehicles. In 2011 we MOTd 542 vehicles across all manufacturers, our first time pass rate was 97%.

You and your staff played a large part in achieving the enviable pass rate and I would ask that you do your best again for 2012.

David Lawrence, Lawrence Recycling & Waste Management Limited

We have had a great relationship with Keltruck over the past 10 years. We chose the vehicles as the quality Scania brand reflects well on our business, the reliability and the service packages available.

Alan Gilligan, Managing Director, A Gilligan (Coatings) Limited

Keltruck provide excellent after care service and they are efficient, friendly and reliable.

Baz Barrett, Transport Operations Manager, Atchison Topeka Transport Limited

I would like you to pass on my thanks on behalf of Atchison Topeka to all your staff at Droitwich.

There were some heavy servicing weeks up to and including the bank holidays and the depot surpassed itself.

There was very minimal disruption to our operation and not only did all the servicing get completed on time, the depot dealt with other requests put on to them by ourselves. Well done and thank you – that’s what I call customer service!

Kevin Johnson, Managing Director, Panic Transport (Contracts) Limited

As an established Scania operator with 25 P-series rigids in our fleet, we are well aware of the performance and fuel-efficiency benefits of the Scania brand. Furthermore, we have always enjoyed excellent back-up and support from our local Keltruck branches at Rugby and Coventry. In our view, this combination of product quality and dealer service makes Scania the natural choice for us.

Jack Henry, Engineering DirectorNX Bus Division

We have an excellent relationship with Keltruck, both in terms of the service they provide and their bodyshop. We felt the Scania brand supported by a Scania dealer would give us a level of performance we could depend upon which would help in ‘Making Travel Simpler’ for customers. The contract gives us a predictable cost of operation and Keltruck are able to offer evening and night-time servicing to fit in with our non-operating times, which gives us a considerable advantage in terms of reduced downtime.
