EDMONTON, Alta. – Edmonton Kenworth was named Canadian Dealer of the Year at Kenworth Truck’s annual dealer meeting held recently in Tucson, Ariz.

“It’s a great honor for our dealership and our employees to be selected as Dealer of the Year,” says Gary King, president of Edmonton Kenworth.

“My father, Mike King, has been with Edmonton Kenworth as manager or dealer-principal since 1957 and this award reflects our long tradition of dedication and service to our customers.”

The Canadian Dealer of the Year award recognizes the top-performing Kenworth dealership that has excelled in many areas, including customer service, training, management and sales operations. It is based on Kenworth’s Dealer Excellence Standards.

Edmonton Kenworth is a major supplier of truck equipment, parts and service to the oilfield, logging, and highway markets in the Edmonton region and northern Alberta.

King noted that customer support is key in today’s tough market.

“To support our customers, Edmonton Kenworth offers the full range of Kenworth products from the T300 medium-duty truck to the Kenworth C500 oilfield bed truck,” he said.

The location also offers Kenworth’s PremierCare program and its contract preventive maintenance and ExpressLube services. n
