Plzeň, 24 November – AAA AUTO today reopened its branch in Plzeň following enlargement and renovation under the firm’s program of domestic and foreign expansion. The branch can now handle more customers buying and selling cars and will offer a hundred more cars. Autocentrum AAA AUTO Plzeň, which first opened for business in 1999, is the fourth largest branch of AAA AUTO in the Czech Republic. Almost 5,000 customers pass through every year and after renovation, as many as 350 used cars will be on offer.
“We listened to our customers from the Plzeň Region and we have expanded the branch here significantly. The number of cars on offer will be as high as 350, and we have also expanded the individual departments in the branch,” reports AAA AUTO’s CEO Karolína Topolová. “That also means creating four new jobs,” she pointed out.
The expansion of operations mainly relates to increased capacity in the vehicle purchasing department, where new technology has also been installed. “As part of the renovation, we purchased new technical equipment which will significantly improve the quality and speed of the purchasing process. Apart from an increase in staff, the purchasing department now has a pillar jack, several paint thickness gauges and new computer and photographic equipment. We have also purchased new technology and extended the area of the financial services department, which mediates car purchasing in installments and insurance products. In doing so, we are reacting to the increased interest from customers in buying and selling cars at AAA AUTO in Plzeň and the Plzeň Region,” explains Karolína Topolová. According to statistics from AAA AUTO, the Plzeň branch is used by customers not only from the regional capital, but also from towns such as Rokycany, Klatovy, Domažlice, Příbram, Železná Ruda, Blatná and Tachov.
After the general renovation, AAA AUTO’s branch on Nepomucká Street in Plzeň now offers customers a modern branch with state-of-the-art technology where the number of cars on display is unrivalled in the region. Customers can also arrange loans to purchase a car in instalments from four renowned partners here including Essox, SAutoleasing, GE Money Auto and Home Credit, and can at the same time take out third party motor liability and full comprehensive insurance from the Kooperativa, ČPP, Generali, Uniqa and Česká pojišťovna insurance companies. Customers can of course make their choice from all 8,000 cars offered by AAA AUTO in the Czech Republic. “If the chosen car is located at another branch, we will bring it to Plzeň for the customer,” said Karolína Topolová.
Several new jobs that need to be filled have also been created along with the expansion of the branch. “We are currently recruiting for the branch in Plzeň and are looking for two car salesmen, one buyer and one financial consultant,” said the HR Manager for the AAA AUTO group, Daniela Gruntová. The opening ceremony for the renovated and expanded branch was also attended by AAA AUTO recruitment specialists and a representative from the Job Centre in Plzeň, Mgr. Lenka Jindrová.
