Goodyear's Wingfoot has opened two new trucker's
service facilities. With the addition of the
locations in Joplin, Mo. and Greenwood, La., there
are now 40 Wingfoot Truck Care Centers throughout the
U.S.
Each site spans 10,300 square feet and sells
Goodyear, Dunlop and Kelly truck tires along with
retreads.
The centers also provide trucking fleets with oil
changes and other preventive maintenance; light
mechanical services, such as brake, electrical and
heating/air conditioning repair; and 24/7 roadside
assistance to get trucks back on the road
quickly.
“Both of our new Wingfoot Truck Care Center locations
have three service bays,” says Clint Schrock,
director of on-highway operations at Goodyear.
“And each bay is dedicated to a different type of
service,” he explains. “One bay is mainly used for
tire replacement and other tire-related services,
another is dedicated to light mechanical work, and
the third bay has a full-length oil change pit and
serves as an express lube bay.”
The Joplin facility is at exit 11A along Interstate
44; the Greenwood site is along I-20 at exit 3. The
two outlets are located on Pilot Flying J
properties.
“Both of these new Wingfoot Truck Care Centers are
situated on a high-traffic shipping route,” says
Schrock. “This, combined with the centers’ strategic
on-highway positioning at Pilot Flying J locations,
gives fleets and owner-operators greater access to
our comprehensive array of products, services and
solutions.”
Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Goodyear, has more than 140 sales,
service and retread facilities nationwide.
