AKRON, Ohio, March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the
economic impact from COVID-19 and to help keep fleets on the road
to deliver needed products like medical supplies and groceries,
Goodyear CTSC Truck Care Centers are offering free Department of
Transportation (DOT) inspections, a value up to $120. These government-mandated inspections
include a full review of the tractor and trailer, including brake
systems, tires and wheels, exhaust systems, lighting and more.
Additionally, in states that have issued "stay-at-home" or
similar non-essential business closure orders in response to the
pandemic, Goodyear Commercial Tire & Service Centers (CTSC)
locations nationwide are expected to remain open to meet critical
tire and service needs.
"Goodyear is dedicated to meeting tire and service needs for the
many hardworking professional drivers, first responders and other
essential workers who are making countless sacrifices to protect
public health and safety and deliver needed goods during these
difficult times," said Frank Payne,
director, Goodyear Commercial Tire & Service Centers. "With the
health and wellbeing of our customers and associates top of mind,
we are taking a number of precautions to minimize the spread of
COVID-19 at all of our centers so we can remain open and keep
vehicles on the road."
To reduce the spread of illness, all centers are following the
guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
taking a number of preventative measures, including enhanced
disinfection, visitor protocols and physical distancing.
Goodyear's company-owned CTSC network operates nearly 200
locations across the U.S., offering tires, maintenance and 24/7
emergency roadside assistance for fleets.
