FleetPride acquires Garden Spot Frame & Alignment

FleetPride Inc. has acquired the assets of Garden Spot Frame & Alignment. Garden Spot was majority-owned by Barry Simpson and founded in 1978. It is based in Denver, Pennsylvania, with three more locations within the state, including East Earl, Lancaster, and Leola. The company offers a variety of shop services to heavy duty fleets and operators in southern Pennsylvania, including repairs for trucks and trailers, alignment and framework, roadside and on-site service, mobile spindle repairs and a full suite of towing and recovery services.

All four Garden Spot locations will become FleetPride Service Centers, bringing the company’s total up to 59. Combined with FleetPride’s existing branches in Harrisburg, Carlisle and York, customers between Harrisburg and Philadelphia will have a full network of parts and service options ready to serve their needs, with additional support from FleetPride.com e-commerce, the company says.
