Gabrielli Kenworth of New Jersey recently celebrated its grand opening, which was attended by more than 400 people and featured a visit of the Kenworth T680 Road Tour starring the all-new T680, Kenworth’s most aerodynamic truck ever.

The new South Brunswick-area dealership in Dayton, N.J., is the first Gabrielli Kenworth location in New Jersey. The dealership joins Gabrielli Kenworth’s four other New York City-area Kenworth dealership locations in the Bronx, Hicksville, Medford and Queens, N.Y.

The grand opening featured a trade fair with 15 suppliers, a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by South Brunswick Mayor Frank Gambatese and a catered lunch. Customers also got an opportunity to test drive several new Kenworth trucks.

“We’re pleased so many customers joined us in the grand opening celebration of our new facility,” said Armando Gabrielli, president of Gabrielli Truck Sales, parent company of Gabrielli Kenworth of New Jersey. “Our family has been dedicated to providing customers with superior service and value since we opened our first location in 1976. This state-of-the-art dealership is part of our commitment to continue providing quality and service support for Kenworth customers.”

The new Dayton location also is part of Kenworth’s constant commitment for superior dealer service as demonstrated by Kenworth receiving the “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Heavy Duty Truck Dealer Service, Two Years in a Row”, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2011-2012 Heavy Duty Truck Customer Satisfaction Studies(SM).

“It was great to have the Kenworth T680 Road Tour visit our new location on the same day of the grand opening,” Gabrielli added. “It added something special for our customers and employees to get a better look at the T680, which has received very favorable reviews. We expect the truck will be popular with fleets and operators looking to get an edge with its aerodynamic performance and its driver-friendly environment.”

A member of the Kenworth dealer network of more than 325 locations in the United States and Canada, Gabrielli Kenworth of New Jersey is located on 17 acres between Exits 8A and 9 off the New Jersey Turnpike. The Dayton location also offers a variety of rental and leasing services through its PacLease franchise.

The dealership provides full warranty service support for the PACCAR MX engine.

“We offer fleet customers daily truck rentals, parts delivery and remote maintenance service, plus we have emergency roadside assistance for fleets and truck operators,” Gabrielli said.
