Kenworth Ontario has relocated its Ottawa area dealership to a new and modern, 43,000 square-foot facility about 35 kilometers southeast of Parliament Hill in the Canadian capital.
Kenworth Ontario – Ottawa is located on 10 acres with convenient access to Trans-Canada Highway 417, a major truck route through the Ontario province. The dealership has seven drive-through service bays, including two bays with full-length pits and room to service up to 14 tractors, a large driver’s lounge with satellite television and vending machines, and showers for drivers.
The service department offers two hour truck diagnosis through Kenworth PremierCare(R) ExpressLane, and features two 7.5-ton overhead cranes, dedicated express lube bays and a dedicated bay to service trucks with natural gas engines. The parts operation includes a 4,200 square-foot display area, and 8,000 square-foot parts warehouse. A new truck indoor display allows customers to inspect the newest Kenworth trucks in the comfort of a temperature-controlled showroom.
“We have built our new facility in a large, new industrial park that is experiencing rapid growth. Our new dealership features the latest technology. Our service technicians have plenty of room to complete full truck and trailer servicing in our seven drive-through service bays with two full-length pits. The new facility also has the capacity to enable technicians to offer rapid diagnostics for other customers, so they can get their trucks repaired and their drivers back on the road quickly,” said Guy Mercier, dealer principal and president of the Kenworth Ontario Group, which operates additional Kenworth Ontario locations in Kingston, Peterborough and Thunder Bay, Ontario. The dealer group also operates Canada’s first TRP store located in Belleville.
