Wingfoot opens 37th Truck Care Center

June 1, 2011

Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., has opened a new truck care center in Matthews, Mo.

The new service center is located off Interstate 55, exit 58, on the Flying J property. The truck care center provides trucking fleets with preventative maintenance service, including oil changes, and light mechanical service, including brake, electrical, and heating/air conditioning repairs.

In addition, the center offers new and retreaded tires, along with 24/7 roadside assistance.

“Matthews is strategically located on I-55 between St. Louis and Memphis and offers drivers a hassle-free place to stop and have work done on their trucks without facing the heavier traffic near the larger cities on that corridor,” says Clint Schrock, director of on-highway operations.

“We plan to continue our expansion across the U.S., making our services, products, and information available in more locations.”

(In March, Wingfoot Commercial Tire opened a store in Kenly, N.C.).

Wingfoot Commercial Tire operates more than 140 commercial tire sales, service, and retread facilities nationwide. That includes 37 on-highway Truck Care Centers in 15 states. For more information on Wingfoot Truck Care Centers, visit www.wingfoottruckcare.com.
