Newcastle based Auto Advantage has recruited two new members to meet the growing demand for its services in the local community.

Rod McGrath has joined the team as a Motor Vehicle Consultant and Katherine Rees is the new Administrative Assistant.

Auto Advantage General Manager, Simon Duwner, said that he was confident in the ability of Rod and Katherine to provide superior service to customers.

“In the short time they’ve been members of the team they have already showing commitment to helping customers save time, money and stress when buying a car,” Simon said.

Rod joined Auto Advantage after working in the motor vehicle industry for more than 12 years. Prior to this he worked in a number of management roles in the car retail sector for brands including  Holden, Kia and Isuzu. Rod said that he wanted to join Auto Advantage because he was keen to work with an organisation that was committed to providing great customer service while helping people through the car buying process.

Katherine has also worked across the automobile sector, including brands such as Mercedes-Benz and Daimler. A self-confessed motor vehicle enthusiast Kat has six years’ industry experience and has recently relocated from Sydney with her young daughter. She enjoys the close-knit nature of the Auto Advantage team, and the opportunity to work for an organisation that helps people negotiate the car-buying process.

Auto Advantage was created in 2001 as a way for people to find the best deal on motor vehicles. The business which currently employs eight people works with hundreds of customers each year to find them new and used cars for business and personal use at the best possible price, saving them time and stress as part of the process.
