Kenworth Sudbury moves into new digs

LIVELY, Ont. — Kenworth Truck Centres of Ontario is moving to a larger, newer facility that promises more customer support, the franchise dealer announced.

The new facility in Lively, Ont. near Sudbury, is twice as large as its former location and provides enhanced service, easier accessibility and a wider selection of new Kenworth trucks.

The facility is on a 3 1/2-acre site, which includes a 20,000 square-foot building with five drive-thru service bays, a larger parking lot and easier freeway access. It also includes an additional smaller service bay dedicated to providing Kenworth PremierCare Express Lube and AC preventive and maintenance care services.

Plus, there’s more room for drivers to park and maneuver their trucks. Located at 199 Mumford Drive, its proximity to Highway 17, the Trans Canada Highway, and Highway 55, one of the main truck routes crossing Ontario, makes it easier for drivers to find.

"Our new facility in the Sudbury area is located on a larger property, so we can offer a wider selection of Kenworth T800s, a popular model among many companies involved in mining and lumber production," said Vince Tarola, dealer principal at Kenworth Truck Centres of Ontario‘s head office in Concord.

"Since the service bays are drive-through, and because we have a bay that’s dedicated for express services, our employees can spend less time moving trucks around in order to service them," Tarola added.

The new dealership has indoor showroom for customers to comfortably view a Kenworth model and a driver’s lounge with work space. The parts department has 4,500 square feet of storage and 2,000 square feet of display area, allowing the dealership to offer more parts on hand for its customers. The parts department offers parts delivery into Sudbury and the outlying areas.

Kenworth Truck Centres Sudbury is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The phone number is 705-692-9400.
