USA - Lisle-based CV builder, Navistar Inc, has signed a service partnership agreement with Love’s Travel Stops (Love’s), adding over 315 Love’s Truck Tire Care and Speedco locations and more than 1,000 technicians to the Navistar International service network. Set to become operational in the second half of 2019, the partnership authorizes most Love’s and Speedco service locations to handle a wide array of work covered by a Navistar-issued new-product warranty, as well as the company’s extended warranties and used truck warranties. All applicable Love’s and Speedco service facilities are to become authorised to perform warranty work with service repair times of three hours or less for all International Class 6-8 trucks.

Michael Cancelliere, president, Navistar Truck and Parts, said: “Uptime is critical to our customers, and the partnership with Love’s will enhance our customers’ uptime in multiple ways. It will expand customers’ access to same-day service for a wide array of light mechanical repairs, more extensive operating hours, increased repair velocity for reduced downtime. Love’s locations will also accept Fleet Charge cards which guarantee customers consistent nationwide parts pricing.”
