LEXINGTON, Ky., June 16,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Valvoline Inc. (NYSE: VVV),
a global leader in vehicle care powering the future of mobility
through innovative services and products, announced today that it
has opened its first Company-owned heavy-duty fleet service center.
Valvoline has taken the same trusted service model used for
light-duty passenger vehicle customers at its Valvoline Instant Oil
ChangeSM service centers and adapted those proprietary
processes specifically for Class 5-8 vehicles that can weigh more
than 30,000 pounds.
This marks another major step in Valvoline's overall service
expansion strategy to provide quick and trusted preventive
maintenance for all vehicles types: light-duty, medium-duty,
heavy-duty, electric vehicles (EV), hybrid and diesel. Heavy-duty
mixed fleets include large delivery trucks, dump trucks, concrete
trucks, fire trucks, buses and RV/motor coaches. It's estimated the
annual opportunity for fleet outsourced maintenance of heavy-duty
vehicles (Class 5-8) in the U.S. exceeds $8
billion.
"Valvoline recognizes there is a need in the market to serve
owners of mixed fleets with a tried-and-true service experience
adapted from nearly 40 years of hands-on expertise at Valvoline
Instant Oil Change", said Valvoline CEO Sam
Mitchell. "This heavy-duty fleet service center is one
additional step in Valvoline's commitment to evolve its service
strategy to provide the right solutions for owners of all types of
vehicles now and in the future."
The Valvoline Heavy-Duty Fleet Services center's highly trained
technicians perform preventive maintenance services, including oil
and filter changes; critical component checks including battery
replacement, transmission and differential service; and Department
of Transportation (DOT) inspections. Services are completed in 75
minutes or less which is significantly faster than conventional
repair shops and truck dealerships where service times can often
exceed 24 hours or more. The service center also offers the
convenience of pre-scheduled drop-off or while-you-wait
appointments and maintains continuous end-to-end communication with
fleet managers.
The heavy-duty fleet service center is located at 990 Enterprise
Drive in Lexington, Kentucky.
Lexington is also the location of
Valvoline's world headquarters. Appointments can be made
online. Learn more about Valvoline heavy-duty fleet services
