Dealerships can open their doors this week under strict instructions as government gazettes a phased approach for returning to normal
According to Jeff Osborne, head of key accounts at Gumtree, all dealerships and used car outlets can operate with 30% of their staff with one employee/customer per nine square metres of floor space. Small businesses may operate with a minimum of five employees.
“This is certainly good news for the dealerships, but also the thousands of those employed by service stations, repair shops, component shops, manufacturing and of course – private individuals and entrepreneurs,” says Osborne.It’s recommended to visit the dealership closest to you, but if there is a car you have to see, speak to the dealership about transferring the stock between branches. You can also obtain a special permit for travel, stamped at the police station.
“While the pandemic might mean that consumers are hesitant to make large purchases, you may find yourself benefiting from lower vehicle prices and an extremely low petrol price. During the last recession, truck and light commercial vehicle sales shot up as more entrepreneurs emerged – now might be an excellent time to get in the game as new opportunities arise,” says Osborne.
