LISLE, Ill., March 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar,
Inc., has signed a service partnership agreement with Love's Travel
Stops (Love's), which adds more than 315 Love's Truck Tire Care and
Speedco locations and more than 1,000 technicians to Navistar's
International® service network.
The exclusive partnership, which will be fully
operational in the second half of 2019, authorizes most Love's and
Speedco service locations to handle a wide array of work covered by
a Navistar-issued new-product warranty, as well as the company's
extended warranties and used truck warranties. All applicable
Love's and Speedco service locations will be authorized to perform
warranty work with service repair times of three hours or less for
all International® Class 6 through 8 trucks.
"Uptime is critical to our customers, and this exciting
partnership with Love's will enhance our customers' uptime in
multiple ways," said Michael
Cancelliere, president, Truck and Parts. "It will expand
customers' access to same-day service for a wide array of light
mechanical repairs, adding more than 315 service locations, more
than 1,000 technicians and more extensive operating hours. It will
also provide our customers with increased repair velocity, enabling
more customers to get their trucks repaired the same day. Loves'
locations will also accept Fleet Charge® cards, the
industry's premier parts purchasing program that guarantees
customers consistent nationwide parts pricing. We look forward to
collaborating with Love's to deliver these added dimensions of
customer service, convenience and uptime."
The partnership between Navistar and Love's creates the
commercial transportation industry's largest service network,
bringing the International® service network to more than
1,000 locations in North America,
in many cases with more convenient locations and hours of service
for our customers throughout the United
States.
"We are very pleased that moving forward, Love's and Speedco
will be a service network partner of Navistar," said Tom Edwards, executive vice president of tire
care for Love's. "Both organizations have a strong commitment to
providing trusted maintenance service that enables our Customers to
manage their equipment and get back on the road quickly."
"Navistar and the International Truck Dealers Council
collaborated on this agreement to deliver industry-leading uptime
to our customers. The expansion of our channel capability to
more than 1,000 service locations will give fleets and owner
operators another reason to choose the International brand and
dealer network to meet their transportation needs," said
