A new deal between Navistar and Love’s Travel Stops will add more than 315 Love’s Truck Tire Care and Speedco locations and more than 1,000 technicians to Navistar International’s service network.
The exclusive service partnership will be fully enacted in the second half of 2019, authorizing 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. Navistar says the deal will create the industry’s largest service network at more than 1,000 locations in North America.
“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,” said Michael Cancelliere, president, truck and parts. “It will also provide our customers with increased repair velocity, enabling more customers to get their trucks repaired the same day.”
