Two new facilities have joined the Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems network as Wingfoot Truck Care Centers.

The locations, located in Joplin, MO, and Greenwood, LA, join 38 other Wingfoot locations. Each service center covers 10,300 sq. ft. and sells Goodyear, Dunlop, and Kelly truck tires in addition to retreaded tires.

“Both of our new Wingfoot Truck Care Center locations have three service bays,” said Clint Schrock, director of on-highway operations for Goodyear, “and each bay is dedicated to a different type of service. One bay is mainly used for tire replacement and other tire-related services, another is dedicated to light mechanical work, and the third bay has a full-length oil change pit and serves as an express lube bay.”

The centers also provide trucking fleets with oil changes and other preventive maintenance services; light mechanical services, such as brake, electrical and heating/air conditioning repair; and 24/7 roadside assistance to get trucks back on the road quickly.

The Joplin Wingfoot Truck Care Center is located on Interstate 44 at exit 11A, while the Greenwood Wingfoot Truck Care Center is located on Interstate 20 at exit three. Both outlets are located on Pilot Flying J properties.
