Continental’s BestDrive announced its expansion to Extremadura by adding Neumáticos Jonás as a new member to its network.
Background
With seven years in the business, Neumáticos Jonás offers general mechanic services for all types of vehicles, including commercial, agricultural and heavy-duty vehicles. The company also offers additional services such as tyre insurance, financing options and mobile roadside assistance. Jonás Rubia, the founder, has more than 15 years of experience in the sector and since opening his first workshop in 2017 in Torremejía, Badajoz, his goal has been to offer a high-quality, customer-oriented and efficient service.
A year later, with two employees and a mobile unit, the business had grown and decided to move to Mérida. Six years ago, they opened their current premises at 12 Calle de Las Palmas, in the El Pardo Industrial Park. The workshop has 1,300 m2 of space, served by 14 employees, with 800 m2 dedicated for truck services.
A year later, with just two people in the workshop and a mobile unit, the business had grown so much that it decided to move to Mérida. Six years ago, they occupied their current premises at 12 Calle de Las Palmas, in the El Pardo Industrial Park. The workshop, a benchmark in the region, has 1,300 m2, served by 14 workers. Of this space, 500 m2 are dedicated to car installations and the other 800 m2 are for truck service. Additionally, the company has another workshop in Puebla de la Calzada (Badajoz), opened last May.
“My greatest motivation for joining the Continental group have been my professional beginnings. I started with them as an employee, and BestDrive and Continental seemed like great partners to continue my entrepreneurial career with. I have always felt their support, both for their fantastic products and services, which have impacted the quality of our work and relationship with our customers. Personally, I must say that the powerful reputation of BestDrive and Continental makes me feel like I’m part of a winning team,” said Jonás Rubia, founder and manager of Neumáticos Jonás.
“Thanks to the addition of such important members as Neumáticos Jonás, our network in Extremadura grows and consolidates every day. With a policy of quality and customer service so aligned with ours, joining forces was a natural step for both parties. I’m convinced we can help each other. We will provide unique products and services, specifically developed to boost our franchisees’ business. Neumáticos Jonás will provide us with its knowledge of the region and an experience unmatched by many,” said Gonzalo Giménez, CEO of BestDrive.
