Goodyear service centers offering free DOT inspections during coronavirus crisis

Goodyear announced Thursday its Commercial Tire & Service Center (CTSC) Truck Care Centers are now offering free Department of Transportation inspections help keep fleets on the road to deliver needed products such as medical supplies and groceries during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

According to Goodyear, these government-mandated inspections include a full review of the tractor and trailer, including brake systems, tires and wheels, exhaust systems, lighting and more. The service has a $120 value.

“Goodyear is dedicated to meeting tire and service needs for the many hardworking professional drivers, first responders and other essential workers who are making countless sacrifices to protect public health and safety and deliver needed goods during these difficult times,” says Frank Payne, director, Goodyear CTSC. “With the health and wellbeing of our customers and associates top of mind, we are taking a number of precautions to minimize the spread of COVID-19 at all of our centers so we can remain open and keep vehicles on the road.”

Additionally, in states that have issued “stay-at-home” or similar non-essential business closure orders in response to the pandemic, Goodyear says its CTSC locations nationwide are expected to remain open to meet critical tire and service needs.

To reduce the spread of illness, all centers also are following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and taking a number of preventative measures, including enhanced disinfection, visitor protocols and physical distancing. Goodyear’s company-owned CTSC network operates nearly 200 locations across the U.S., offering tires, maintenance and 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for fleets.
