Great Dane opens new dealership facility

Great Dane full-service dealer Central Valley Trailer Repair (CVTR) has opened a nearly-60,000-sq.-ft. new facility in Fresno, Calif.

“We are thrilled to celebrate our 32nd year of business with the opening of this new facility,” said CVTR owner Mike Shuemake. “The detailed design of this building reflects CVTR’s commitment to creating the biggest, best and most efficient facility possible for both customers and employees.”

The vast facility features a 20-door service area with a paint booth and trailer wash section, administrative and sales offices, and a parts display and order area; there is also a driver waiting room with TV and beverage service, a customer reception lounge, and an expedient sales line for new and used trailers.

“This state-of-the-art facility was designed to accommodate the future growth of CVTR and Great Dane in central California,” said Rob Ulsh, Great Dane’s vice president of dealer and international sales.

CVTR is an authorized Great Dane sales, parts and service center with locations in Fresno and Stockton, Calif. In 2014, CVTR received the Great Dane Dealer of the Year award. It is the largest dealer of new Great Dane trailers in the western United States.

An open house for the new facility is planned for May 2017.
