Fyda Freightliner announced construction of its newest full-service truck dealership is underway. Sitting on 15 acres, the 46,000 sq. ft. facility will be located at 5005 East Pike in Zanesville, OH, which is situated near Interstate 70 exit 160 and Airport Road. The target grand opening is being confirmed for April 2016, the company announced.
“Our company is growing and we’re excited to be able to have the opportunity to service some of our current customers closer to their home bases, while expanding our services to future customers over a wider area,” said Gary Tiffan, general manager of Fyda’s Columbus and future Zanesville dealerships. “We’re excited to be coming to Zanesville, and are impressed at how well we are already being received while we have been making personal visits in the area.”
Fyda Zanesville will carry a large inventory of new and pre-owned heavy- and medium-duty commercial trucks. New Freightliner and Western Star trucks will be available, along with a wide variety of pre-owned vehicles of all makes and models also on hand. The parts department will carry approximately $1 million in Freightliner and Western Star OE parts as well as a full line of all-makes truck parts and components. Selected trailer parts will be available.
The service department will include 24 service bays and will offer Express Assessment and Rapid Repair services with the goal of becoming a certified member of the Elite Support Network of Dealerships in the first year of operation. Fyda Zanesville will be a certified warranty center for Freightliner, Western Star, Detroit, Mercedes, Cummins, Eaton, and Meritor, and will feature a chassis engine Dyno for performance diagnostics and a Hunter computerized alignment rack to be used to perform all axle alignment and under vehicle inspections. Full maintenance and repair services will be available for all brands of commercial and large recreational vehicles, and will include DPF and DOC cleaning and maintenance, flywheel machining, glass repair, and radiator repair service among other offerings. All Fyda Freightliner technicians are factory trained and certified on the latest diagnostic equipment.
“We are also excited to be able to support the local economy in Zanesville, and our plan is to bring between 40 and 60 new jobs to the area,” said Gary.
