For immediate release
SCRANTON, PA, April 2024 – We are excited to announce that Hunter Truck – Scranton will be moving to its permanent home this fall at 3000 Stafford Avenue, Scranton, PA 18505. Our new facility is projected to open November 2024 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and will continue to serve our customers in the greater Scranton area.
“We are excited to add a state-of-the-art, full service Peterbilt dealership to our network,” president Jeffrey Hunter said. “We are committed to bringing personalized sales, parts, service, body shop repairs, and leasing to our customers in the Scranton area.”
This fall, our new facility will boast a total of 45,000 square feet with 24 service bays along with a separate 13,000 square foot body shop facility located on site. The Hunter Truck team proudly designed an easily accessible property featuring a covered drive under canopy, advanced air-conditioned service area, and more.
“We are excited that our new building project is under way and full speed ahead,” said Justin Morgan, general manager. “We are most grateful for the patience of our dedicated employees and loyal customers as we transition to our new facility in Scranton.”
Our Hunter Truck – Scranton location replaces our previous Hunter Truck – Pocono branch, which was located in Bartonsville, PA. Adding this new state-of-the-art Hunter Truck facility allows us to be closer to our customers and better serve their heavy duty trucking needs.
“The Scranton service team is excited to support our customers with our new shop, driver’s lounge, and overall dealership to better fit their needs,” said Steven Gower, service manager. “We also offer road service, so even if you can’t make it into our new shop, you can receive our services on your site.”
The new Scranton body shop will feature the newest tools for frame repairs, wheel alignment and refinishing. The team will be able to utilize this new space to not only repair damaged trucks, but also turn them into showstoppers with our Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) downdraft paint baking booth, detail bays, BeeLine frame press, and Hunter alignment equipment.
“Our new body shop will put us on the leading edge of truck collision repair in our region, allowing us to establish direct repair agreements with every insurance carrier in our surrounding area,” said Michael Santarsiero, body shop manager. “Having a top-tier facility will also allow us to attract the best technicians available, who, naturally, would prefer to work in such an environment.”
On top of our new service and body shop areas, our parts department will hold over $4.5 million in parts inventory, allowing the Scranton parts team to get our customers what they need every day, twice a day. With a convenient showroom for walk-in customers to visit and a separate call center, the parts team is ready to help our wide range of customers’ needs.
“Our new building in Scranton will have one of the largest truck part inventories in northeast Pennsylvania,” said John Wilson, parts manager. “With our large inventory, experienced parts sales team, and our second-to-none parts delivery service, the Hunter Truck – Scranton customer experience will be unmatched.”
Our Scranton parts department offers twice a day parts delivery to customers spanning eastern New York, northeast Pennsylvania, and northeast New Jersey. We offer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts from Peterbilt as well as aftermarket part brands like TRP, JTP, and more.
We are excited to officially open Hunter Truck – Scranton this fall, and to serve our customers in the greater Scranton area.
