It was an anomaly that needed to be fixed. SO that it already has more than 200 agencies in FranceTransakauto was strangely absent in the southern part of Gironde. With this in mind, the automobile sales intermediary agency for individuals chose Loupiac-de-la-Réole, more precisely at 10 Rue ZAE Ecopole, to repair this strangeness.

The opening is set for December 2

The opening is planned for Monday December 2, 2024subject to the installation of signs. “The idea is to attract residents of Langonnais and Marmandais, we estimate that it’s roughly 15 minutes for everyone,” explains manager Jean-Baptiste Labat.

To attract customers, the used car agency establishes itself as a real guarantee of confidencefor both buyers and sellers. “Before, the vehicle sales market was carried out through two processes: garage trade-in to buy a new vehicle and sale between individuals. We are going to rely on the second option to structure the sale,” explains the native of Amiens.

The seller does not see the buyer and vice versa

Concretely, Transakauto takes care of all the procedures for visiting and testing the vehicle, but can also carry out home delivery of the goods. “The seller does not see the buyer and vice versa. »

A method already proven in Girondewhere the agency is already established near Cadaujac, Libourne, Carbon-Blanc, Mérignac and Arcachon.

Jean-Baptiste Labat takes on a new challenge

It is therefore up to Jean-Baptiste Labat to take up this new challenge. It's not the automotive experience that he will miss. The 41-year-old man has indeed ten years of experience in the sector. Previously, he was head of the multimedia department at Leclerc stores.

His crush on Transakauto was immediate: “What I liked was the English-style culture of this company. I can take the example of the rather casual dress code. » A way of establishing real proximity with the customer, in order to give them confidence in an automobile market where scams of all kinds have been legion for several years. Jean-Baptiste Labat steps forward confidently: “There is no reason why it shouldn’t work. » Us neither.
