Klinkenberg<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>

Testimonial<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The customer<\/h2>\n

Eric works for Klinkenberg, an energy supplier and installer in Belgium. They have a fleet of 140 utility vans and company cars. They first found out about OPENLANE by word of mouth and their collaboration already lasts seven years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
\n

We wouldn\u2019t change for anything in the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The challenge<\/h2>\n

Managing their fleet isn\u2019t an easy task. At least it certainly wasn\u2019t in the past: \u201cWe used to sell our vehicles to various individuals or merchants, who confronted us with a recurring problem. They made arrangements with each other to lower the prices, so our cars were leaving us for a pittance. But then we discovered OPENLANE.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Why OPENLANE<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

<\/span>1<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

A hassle-free sales process<\/h5>\n

Thanks to OPENLANE, Eric doesn\u2019t lose time when selling vehicles: \u201cThey look after everything: expertise, promotion, removal \u2026 At our request, they even remove the stickers from our vehicles! It saves us even more precious time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

<\/span>2<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Best market prices<\/h5>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased with the price of our sales, even if you consider OPENLANE\u2019s commission rate. We are often very pleasantly surprised at the prices our vehicles fetch,\u201d Eric says. OPENLANE also advises him on the approximate value of Klinkenberg\u2019s vehicles: \u201cSometimes we expect a price that is too high and they help us to be more realistic in our expectations. Other times, we expect too little and they advise us to increase the price.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

<\/span>3<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Fast and guaranteed payments<\/h5>\n

Everything happens very quickly as well. \u201cAfter I submitted my request, an expert visits us to assess the vehicle before it is put on sale,\u201d Eric says. \u201cWe receive an offer within a few days and, if we accept it, we receive the money within two days. After a few more days, the vehicle is taken away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

<\/span>4<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

No sale, no fee<\/h5>\n

If a buyer\u2019s offer doesn\u2019t meet their expectations, Eric can always contact his account manager at OPENLANE and ask to make an immediate purchase offer with a fixed price. \u201cWe pay zero management fees, even if we decide to remove the vehicle from sale. A very professional approach! To make a successful sale, both parties must be satisfied, and that\u2019s exactly the case with OPENLANE.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The result<\/h2>\n

At Klinkenberg, they wouldn\u2019t change for anything in the world: \u201cThe hassle of selling is a thing of the past. Once the vehicle is sold, OPENLANE takes care of everything and we don\u2019t hear about it again. I would only say one thing: \u2018to try it is to stick with it\u2019.\u201d Are you curious to what OPENLANE can mean for your company? Contact one of our sales executives and\u00a0<\/span>ask for a FREE consult.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
