TORONTO, Ont. – Harper Ontario Truck Centres is expanding its service network with the opening of a third location along the 401 corridor on Aug. 1.

The new facility will include a full sales, parts and service centre, complete with a Fast Lube and Automated Truck Wash. Harper Ontario Truck Centres also operates facilities in Mississauga and Oshawa.

The expansion is a natural progression, says John Nelligan, dealer principal at Harper Ontario Truck Centres.

“This unique facility located in a heavily concentrated area of carriers and warehousing is a great opportunity to showcase what we do best…our sales service and parts has been designed to meet the needs of our customer base,” he said.

Already the largest Sterling dealer in Canada, this third location offers the full line of Sterling, Western Star and the Condor Line – an exclusive to Harper OTC. As an authorized Detroit Diesel, Mercedes-Benz, Caterpillar, Cummins and Allison warranty service and parts facility, Harper has the ability to service just about every truck on the road today.

“Accessibility is a key factor in this business,” said Nelligan. “With our new location and our new Web site (www.harperotc.com), we’ve got the GTA covered.”
