LISLE, Ill., Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar's
warranty performance and service partnership agreement with Love's
and Speedco is now fully operational, activating the commercial
vehicle industry's largest service network in North America.
The partnership, initially announced in March, adds more than
320 Love's and Speedco locations and more than 1,000 technicians to
Navistar's International® Truck service network,
bringing the network to more than 1,000 sites in North America, in many cases with more
convenient locations and hours of service. The network's capacity
continues to expand, as Love's is consistently adding new
locations. The companies have spent the last four months traveling
the country with six training trailers, putting more than 1,000
technicians through classroom, online and hands-on training to
ensure customers have a consistent experience whether going to a
Love's, Speedco or International Truck dealer.
"Effective today, this newly activated partnership with Love's
is providing our customers with increased repair velocity,
expanding their access to same-day service for a wide array of
light mechanical repairs," said Friedrich
Baumann, Navistar president, Aftersales and Alliance
Management. "This added repair velocity is in turn delivering
enhanced uptime, which is a critical factor in our customers'
business success. We are excited by this partnership with Love's,
and intend to continue bringing our customers new dimensions of
service, convenience and uptime."
Under the partnership agreement, most Love's and Speedco service
locations are now authorized to perform warranty work with service
repair times of three hours or less for all
International® Class 6 through 8 trucks covered by a
Navistar-issued new-product warranty, as well as the company's
extended warranties and used truck warranties. Love's and Speedco
locations now also accept Fleet Charge® cards, the
industry's premier parts purchasing program, which guarantees
customers consistent parts pricing.
"Professional drivers know that time is money, and this
partnership provides them with trusted maintenance services that
enable them to manage their equipment and get back on the road
quickly," said Tom Edwards, vice
president of truck solutions for Love's. "Navistar shares our deep
commitment to taking care of the customer and we believe this
partnership is the next chapter in that commitment."
