SAINT JOHN, — Bayview Trucks and Equipment, formerly known as a prominent International dealer in New Brunswick, has announced it will now sell Kenworth trucks out of its four locations in Saint John, Fredericton, Sussex, and St. Stephen.

The franchise is now operating as Bayview Kenworth, offering Kenworth trucks and Paccar leasing, financial and parts services starting this month.

“We’ve joined the Kenworth family because Kenworth has a solid reputation in the trucking industry of building reliable and desirable medium duty and heavy duty trucks second to none,” said Michael Nagle, dealer principal of Bayview Trucks and Equipment in a press release.

“Kenworth trucks will also offer our customers exceptional value by lowering their operating costs, offering them productivity-enhancing features, and improving their reputation among their customers and drivers.”

Bayview operates two full-service facilities in Saint John and Fredericton, and parts-only facilities in Sussex and St. Stephen. The Saint John location, at 315 MacAllister Dr., located near the Trans Canada Highway, operates 11 service bays, with one bay that will be dedicated to Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube service. It also includes a five-bay body shop with a paint booth and frame straightening and wheel alignment services.

Bayview Kenworth-Fredericton, on 10 Gillis Road, has an alignment machine, truck wash, and 11 service bays, with one bay that will be dedicated to Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube service. This location offers shower facilities and a comfortable driver’s lounge complete with satellite television, a microwave and vending machines for the convenience of customers.

“We’re excited about this change,” Nagle added. “We’ve built our reputation over the last 35 years on providing exceptional service while representing another major truck manufacturer. Now, with this move, we can enhance that reputation by offering customers the full line up of heavy duty and medium duty Kenworth trucks. Plus, now that we have the support and expertise of PACCAR Financial and PACCAR Leasing (PacLease), we can offer our truck customers leasing and financing options that just weren’t available before.”
