Western Nevada Kenworth has opened a 20,000-square-foot, full-service dealership in Sparks, Nev.

The new Western Nevada Kenworth facility joins a Kenworth dealer network of more than 320 locations in the United States and Canada. The full-service operation is located on five acres at 8640 Canyon River Dr., just off Exit 23 on U.S. Interstate 80, about three miles east of Sparks.

The dealership features 10 service bays, with one bay dedicated to providing Kenworth PremierCare express services, a 5,000-square-foot parts department to provide excellent parts availability and a body building facility to sell, install and service truck-mounted equipment to further customize trucks to the needs of truck operators. The new location also offers parts delivery service and a comfortable drivers’ lounge.

“Our transmission overhaul and truck-mounted equipment installation operation, Worthen Equipment, has been in business in Reno area since 1984,” said Rick Worthen, dealer principal and general manager of Western Nevada Kenworth. “By opening a Kenworth dealership at this same location, we can offer our customers more complete solutions to their transportation needs with new Kenworth models, the PACCAR MX engine, and Kenworth PremierCare parts and service support. This location also fills a 420-mile gap between Elko, Nevada and Sacramento, Calif.”
