Love’s
Travel Stops, a leader in the travel stop industry with more than 440 locations
in 41 states, added tire care services in 2008. Love’s expanded its offerings
to include oil change, lube and light mechanical services at most of its
larger travel stops nationwide and has quickly become a trusted provider
of truck and tire care services.
“The
partnership of Love’s and Speedco combines two top brands in the diesel
service industry into one network,” said Tom Love, founder and executive
chairman for Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores. “Love’s and Speedco
are committed to providing professional drivers with quality products as
efficiently and quickly as possible. As a leader in the oil change industry,
Speedco brings an important service to our Customers. We look forward to
serving drivers at Speedco locations and growing the business.”
With
the addition of Speedco’s 52 locations, the number of Love’s-operated tire
service and lube facilities climbs to more than 320. Speedco facilities
will continue to offer their current selection of products and services,
including diesel oil changes, federal inspections and battery work. In
the coming months, Speedco locations will offer the same tire brands and
services available at Love’s Truck Tire Care Centers.
Professional
truck drivers can use their My Love Rewards cards at all Speedco locations.
While the Speedco Rewards program ends November 1 as drivers transition
to My Love’s Rewards, Love’s will honor Speedco reward coupons through
the expiration dates. New Speedco coupons will not be issued, but drivers
will earn more points to be used toward food, beverages, showers, Love’s
merchandise and more through the My Love Rewards program.
