Tri-State Kenworth has opened a new full-service dealership in Milford, Conn., easily accessible from Interstate 95, the Gov. John Davis Lodge Turnpike.

"This new facility is conveniently located in a high-traffic commercial area with easy access to and from I-95," said Scott Pagliughi, president of Tri-State Kenworth. In addition to locations in Milford and Enfield, Conn., Tri-State Kenworth also operates a dealership in Stoughton, Mass.

The 13,500 sq-ft facility has four drive-through bays, a parts display area and a parts warehouse. One bay is a dedicated truck wash, another is set up for preventive and express maintenance services, including Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube.

The new dealership also offers Kenworth PremierCare parts and service programs as well as PACCAR Financial support with flexible retail loans, leases and insurance products for the transportation industry.

"We're expecting business to be quite brisk with our new Milford location, because it allows us to offer sales and enhanced service to new and current customers in southwest Connecticut," Pagliughi added. "Operators won't have to travel 65 miles northeast to Enfield. We anticipate Kenworth's wide choice of medium duty trucks will be particularly popular with new and existing customers."

Tri-State Kenworth's newest outlet is located at 312 Woodmount Road in Milford. The dealership is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays. The phone number is 203-876-5010. Key personnel include: Scott Pagliughi, company president; Stewart Damon, service manager; and Michael Prybyzerski, parts manager.
