Summit Truck Group has acquired an Isuzu franchise from Jenkins Diesel in Springfield, Mo.
Summit has incorporated the Isuzu sales, parts and service offerings into the existing Summit of Springfield, Mo., International Truck dealership located at 2635 E. Diamond St. in Springfield.
Summit already sells Isuzu products at dealerships located in Lowell, Ark., Memphis, Tenn., and Oklahoma City, and supports the Isuzu product line with all-makes parts and non-warranty service at all Summit locations.
“Jenkins Diesel has a long history of serving the Springfield area since 1956,” says Summit Chief Financial Officer Scott Gill. “We will continue that tradition of customer service as we incorporate their Isuzu business into our existing Springfield dealership.”
Summit CEO Justin Fink says, “Our parts, service and sales teams are already familiar with the Isuzu product line so we anticipate a smooth transition of adding this product line to the Springfield dealership. The Isuzu product focuses on providing products for small businesses such as landscapers, plumbers, electricians, florists, caterers and similar service providers. We look forward to serving all of our Springfield area customers with this additional product line.”
Summit says it does not anticipate hiring any additional staff as a result of this acquisition.
