Kenworth Sales Company has relocated its parts facility in Rock Springs, Wyo., to a new, much larger parts and service location near Interstate 80.


Kenworth Sales Company - Rock Springs is in a 10,000-square-foot facility on 2 acres located off Exit No. 99 on I-80. The dealership's 5,000-square-foot service department has five bays and offers Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube and Air Conditioning service. The parts department has more than 2,500 square feet of parts storage, or nearly five times that of the previous facility.

"We've had a terrific response from the community and our customers since we opened our new Rock Springs facility in September," said Kyle Treadway, president of Kenworth Sales Company, which operates 18 dealerships in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. "With new oil shale extraction technology making it possible to recover oil from the Green River Formation, the demand for reliable parts and service support among vocational truck fleets and operators in the area has increased significantly."

The Green River Formation reportedly has the world's largest known oil shale deposits with an estimated 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil, more than three times the amount of oil in Saudi Arabia's proven reserves.

Kenworth Sales Company - Rock Springs is located at 384 Blairtown Road.
