Love’s Truck Tire Care expands tire offerings

Light mechanical service locations to more than double in 2014

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 20, 2014 – Love’s Travel Stops has consistently remained a top choice for professional truck drivers because of its commitment to customer service and its adherence to offer a variety of products. Love’s Truck Tire Care centers recently provided more diversity by adding tire brand offerings Goodyear and Continental. The additions provide professional drivers with a well-rounded tire selection.

“We are pleased to announce the expansion of these reliable and proven products,” said Tom Love, founder and executive chairman. “The lifeblood of a driver is being on the road, and we believe it’s our responsibility to offer the best range of products and services to get them back on the road quickly, safely and with proven products.”

Love’s also offers Bridgestone, Firestone, Aeolus, Michelin, Michelin Retreat Technologies, BF Goodrich and Yokohama.

Top-notch service will also be available to professional drivers in more parts of the country as the number of locations offering light mechanical services is expected to more than double this year. Of the more than 180 Love’s Truck Tire Care locations, light mechanical services are currently offered at nearly 70. Love’s also operates two tire care centers with full-service maintenance. Expanding light mechanical locations means drivers can count on quality service and professionalism for electrical repairs, belts and hoses, fleet and DOT inspections, brake repairs and more.

“We’ve received an overwhelmingly positive response since light mechanical services were introduced in 2012. We’re fortunate to be in the position to expand and give truck drivers easy access to services that are imperative to their livelihoods,” said Love.

Love’s is also reinvesting in its existing truck tire care centers. Immediate plans call for expanding many current shops to include additional warehouse space. The expanded facilities will also give professional drivers waiting on services a comfortable place to rest. All newly constructed tire shops will feature attached and enclosed bays, more room and increased amenities.

Love’s roadside assistance is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The improved Love’s Truck Tire Care dispatch center can send a Love’s certified technician to a driver’s location to help in emergency situations.
