Kon Skothos, Managing Director is justifiably proud of having developed the complete one-stop shop for vehicle maintenance & collision repair services with Pro Paint ‘n Panel & Rightway Auto, specialising in fleet solutions.
Kon’s vast experience was gained managing and keeping a fleet of more than 160 Yellow Taxis running 24/7 rotating shifts that never stopped.
The frustrations he faced by having to outsource services is where the concept of the One Stop Shop for all types of vehicle repairs and maintenance came about.
Kon’s early industry experience included managing a 160 vehicle Taxi Fleet that operated 24/7 where he was responsible for liaising with up to 440 drivers in shifts, collecting financial takings, inspecting vehicles, managing fuel/spare parts, overseeing maintenance and efficient timing of necessary repairs mechanical and crash repairs, sourcing cost-effective methods of repair to eliminate down-time and reduce costs in addition to coordinating Transport Department 6 monthly roadworthiness inspections for registration.
He also managed a Hire Car Fleet of 30 cars and drivers and another 40 Courier Van Fleet and drivers. His responsibilities included the de-commissioning, preparation and sale of old vehicles, purchasing and fit-out of new vehicles in addition to maintaining and repairing historic collection of Model T Ford Taxis, FJ and FC Holdens.
