BATHURST, NB — Bayview Kenworth has purchased an existing independent parts and service dealership in Bathurst and converted it into a new 13,000-square-foot Kenworth parts and service dealership.

The facility features six truck service bays and a 1,500-square-foot parts warehouse.

“When this dealership became available, I knew it was a great opportunity to open a new Kenworth location and take advantage of the talents and knowledge of employees who have built a trusted local business,” said Mike Nagle, dealer principal of Bayview Kenworth.

In 2007, Nagle transitioned his longtime New Brunswick truck sales and service dealerships to the Kenworth dealer network.

“By providing staff at the Bathurst store new equipment and a renovated facility, they can offer a higher level of service to local mining and logging companies, plus commercial fishing operators, peat moss manufacturers, contractors, pick-up and delivery couriers and food haulers,” Nagle said.

Bayview Kenworth, Bathurst is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.

It is located in northeastern New Brunswick at 2015 Industrial Drive, accessible from New Brunswick Routes 8 and 11, and is about 375 kilometers north of the company’s flagship store in Saint John.

It joins four more Bayview Kenworth locations in New Brunswick: Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John; and one in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
