When you are going to Rødbyhavn and the Femern construction site and coming from the north, after the motorway exit you’ll pass the garage and the Kia dealer AutoCentro, at the intersection at Færgevej.
And that location is not half bad. If you come from the west, where Lalandia is located, you also drive right past AutoCentro.
The visibility gives attention, also in relation to all the people who have to go to and from the construction site of Europe’s largest construction project.
– A lot of the Fehmarn-related tasks that we handle are due to our location, because you can hardly drive to the Fehmarn construction site without seeing our business. We are quite visible because we have both a business, a car wash and a claims centre, says Jimmy Nielsen, who is director and owner of AutoCentro.
Services Europcar vehicles
AutoCentro has a cooperation agreement with Europcar to service and repair the car rental company’s vehicles.
Europcar expects to have 200 cars operating in the area during 2023, so that is a significant number of cars.
– The largest part of the Fehmarn-related cars we service are Europcars, but we also repair cars for other people. Among other things, there have been some Jutland companies down here for whom we have made cars, says Jimmy Nielsen.
Uses the network
In order to come into play as a supplier of services for the Fehmarn project, the network has been of crucial importance.
– In addition to being visible, I have created a network at both of the large companies on the project. Sometimes you also have to be lucky and be in the right place at the right time, or be lucky to be invited out to eat, where you get to talk to different people and create a network that way, explains Jimmy Nielsen.
Show them that you’re up to the task
Among other things, AutoCentro is also a member of the supplier network FB Suppliers.
– It’s not far to FB Supplier’s office from here, so I go there about once a month and have a little chat and look after and maintain the network, says the car dealer.
– Otherwise, it’s about being diligent when you hear something and showing that you can solve the task when someone calls who needs help, says Jimmy Nielsen.
