SPEEDCO TAKES FAST LANE TO QUICK-LUBE TRUCK SERVICE Cayuga, IN -- What happens when you're a thousand miles from home on a cross-country run and the odometer tells you that it's time for a regularly scheduled maintenance, such as an oil change and lube? If you operate a diesel big rig, heavy-duty diesel truck, diesel-powered motorhome or medium-duty recreational tow vehicle, you either have to wait until you return home to perform the required work or spend hours at a truck stop to get the job done. Waiting can result in costly wear and tear on equipment, while down time costs you money, can put you way behind schedule or disrupt a relaxing vacation. Now there's an alternative choice. Speedco Truck Lube Centers offer quick lube and preventative maintenance services for Class 6, 7 and 8 diesel trucks and business-class vehicles at eighteen (18) service locations across the country, all situated near major interstate highways. Speedco Truck Lube Centers are open 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week to provide fast, convenient and professional service for commercial and private operators. Speedco president Mark Clark is a former drag racer who's logged thousands of over-the-road miles traveling to events. "When the racing community graduated to semi trucks to haul race cars, finding service away from home became a real challenge." Speedco was founded to meet that challenge, along with the growing needs of a rapidly expanding trucking industry. Since opening their first service center in 1991, Speedco has grown to become the only national chain that offers a guaranteed 30-minute quick lube service exclusively for diesel trucks and motorhomes. Four (4) highly trained technicians work on each vehicle to drain and replace fluids, change filters, lube the chassis, perform a thorough inspection and get you back on the road quickly and efficiently. To assure customers the highest quality products, Speedco has partnered with two of the most respected names in the lubrication business. Shell Rotella T is the nation's best selling heavy-duty multigrade motor oil, while Baldwin Filters is a world-class manufacturer that offers the widest range of heavy-duty filters in the industry. As part of a nation-wide expansion plan that will add 75 new locations over the next five years, Speedco recently became the major sponsor of defending NHRA Pro Stock Truck World Champion Larry Kopp and his record-holding Chevy S-10 pickup. According to Clark, "putting the Speedco name on a race truck makes perfect sense. The tie-in is a natural, the sponsorship is cost-effective and the exposure at the track and on TV creates consumer awareness and brand recognition for the Speedco name." In addition, Kopp travels down the highway in a diesel-powered medium-duty transporter rig emblazoned with the Speedco, Shell and Baldwin logos. This "rolling billboard" is seen at racing events and on the road by thousands of racers, RV's and truckers, keeping Larry busy on the CB radio answering Speedco questions on every trip. With easy access from major interstates, user-friendly drive-through facilities, quality products and professional technicians, Speedco Truck Lube Centers is setting new standards for the truck and RV service industry.
