ABC Companies will open a new Newark, Calif., location at 7980 Enterprise Drive to serve employer shuttle operations, tour, charter, and commuter operators of all sizes and fleet profiles throughout the region. The Newark location is on the east side of the San Francisco Bay and offers easy access to customers via Route 84, and Interstate 880.

“We recognize the ongoing growth of this market and we’re eager to expand our reach by offering robust fleet support services, as well as everyday drive-up service to any fleet operator in the region,” said Jon Savitz, ABC sr. VP, service operations. The new facility is part of the company’s strategic vision of offering the broadest range of fleet services to cover every aspect of operations — and ultimately providing a truly one-stop experience for customers.

“Providing all the resources for fleet support in one state-of-the-art location will make ABC a more effective business partner for customers in the Bay Area as well as the Northern California region,” said  Roman Cornell, ABC chief commercial officer/executive VP. “We are excited to enable our customers to better leverage our technical expertise and parts supply chain to improve their fleet operations and accelerate repair and service turnaround times.”

Situated on three-plus, the 30,000 square foot facility will offer:

• Parking — Two acres of secure, well-lit parking.

• State-of-the-art diagnostics, maintenance, collision and repair and vehicle care with 14 service bays; two or three axle alignment, complete tire service, and balancing; and a full paint booth and body shop.

• A modern, comfortable driver’s lounge featuring WI-FI, work areas, large screen TV, pool table, and more.

• Parts Warehouse & Retail Counter — 6,000 square foot dedicated parts warehouse and distribution center offering ABC’s expansive parts inventory available for counter pickup and shipping.

“In terms of parts distribution and access, we think customers will be delighted with this new location. Along with OEM Van Hool parts and accessories, customers can order every popular make and model SKU and expect fast delivery and efficient turnaround time for in-shop repairs,” said Cornell.

With construction underway, ABC targets Q1, 2018 for expected occupancy with Grand Opening plans currently in the works.
