Minesite ready vehicle specialists - Westside Auto Wholesale

Customised and delivered to you

Constantly exposed to demanding environments and harsh weather conditions, durable and reliable vehicles are key players in successful mining operations. To keep things moving, it is critical that vehicle fleets are safe, compliant and always operational.

Westside Auto Wholesale is a national leader in the supply and delivery of mine-spec ready Toyotas. With a massive volume of stock available at any one time, Westside Auto services mining companies across WA and beyond.

The company has an extensive inventory of mine-ready Toyota models, including the popular 70 Series LandCruiser (including new 2024 variant and V8 Utilities), 300 Series LandCruiser, Hilux, Prado and Hiace commuter vans.

Every vehicle is customised in accordance with mining and civil safety standards to suit remote and demanding worksites.

Industry-ready fit outs with in-house customisation

Westside Auto has full in-house vehicle customisation capabilities, allowing the company to deliver high-quality, mine-ready vehicles with minimal delay. These tailored solutions reduce downtime and improve procurement efficiency for fleet and operations managers.

With a range of standard and optional safety features such as battery isolators, UHF radios, mine light bars, reverse alarms, wheel nut indicators, bull bars, high-vis decals, high visibility flag poles and more, Westside Auto can meet any site-specific compliance requirements.

There is also the option to order vehicle specs either in bulk or individually, giving you the confidence of knowing they will meet the most up-to-date regulations.

Westside Auto Wholesale chief executive CJ Jayasinghe knows that supply chain disruption and compliance are two of the biggest pressures facing mining fleet managers.

“Our ability to stock and deliver fully customisable mine-spec vehicles, often within days, gives our clients a critical operational advantage,” he said.

“Mining companies need partners who understand the urgency and compliance challenges of large-scale resource projects.

“That’s why we’ve invested heavily in our in-house fit-out capabilities, allowing us to stock site ready vehicles at scale, with safety features that meet not just general site requirements, but specific regional and client standards.”

National distribution and rapid turnaround for fleet supply

Westside Auto Wholesale are logistics and efficiency specialists. Not only do they supply mine-ready vehicles, but they also distribute them rapidly to sites across the country.

The high turnover stock levels and rapid response time from the team at Westside is what makes them the first choice for fleet managers throughout Australia.

By working directly with mining companies, civil contractors and fleet operators Westside Auto streamlines supply, registration and delivery nation-wide.

The ability to quickly replace or expand fleet numbers is crucial in remote mining environments, that’s where Westside Auto provides peace of mind.

“We maintain one of the largest on-site inventories of mine-spec Toyotas in the country, from four-wheel drive utility vehicles and V8 70 Series LandCruisers, to Hiace commuter vans, 300 Series LandCruisers and more,” Mr Jayasinghe said .

“That scale gives fleet managers the ability to secure multiple vehicle types in one order, with confidence they’re compliant and site ready.”

Warranty coverage and in-house extended warranty for fleet confidence

Risk mitigation and vehicle uptime are a critical part of operational efficiency. Warranty coverage is a crucial factor to consider when selecting suppliers, particularly in remote or high-demand environments.

A large portion of Westside Auto’s mine-spec inventory includes late-model Toyotas that still fall under the original manufacturer’s warranty, giving you confidence that your fleet is as best supported as it can be.

For added assurance, Westside Auto also provides in-house extended warranty packages, giving fleet managers flexible protection options across a variety of operational timelines and usage conditions.

“We’ve built our reputation on being able to supply quality mine-spec vehicles at scale, not just in WA, but right across Australia,” Mr Jayasinghe said.

“Our clients know they can count on us when timelines are tight, and standards are non-negotiable.”
