Yancey Bus Sales and Service opens a new location to serve Middle
and South Georgia
Blue Bird Corporation’s (Nasdaq: BLBD) Georgia dealer, Yancey Bus Sales
and Service, has opened a new location in Middle Georgia to further
accommodate customer needs. The new facility is housed on over 5 acres
and boasts an impressive 25,000 square foot facility.
“We have expanded our facility to accommodate more buses, in an effort
to offer better service and selection,” says Mark Terry, General Manager
of Yancey Bus Sales and Service. “We are also able to house more parts
in-house in order to quickly service our customer’s needs.”
The increased size of the facility has enabled the Yancey team to expand
not only its employee base, but also allows them to expand their field
service technician team, who are able to meet customers and offer
on-site service – a great convenience to customers who live in rural
areas. “We currently have four field service technicians at this
location, who take calls from Forsyth all the way down to Savannah,”
says Terry. “Currently, we have 19 field service technicians state-wide,
and we plan to expand this workforce over time.”
“With Blue Bird’s manufacturing plant located in Middle Georgia, we’re
very pleased to see the positive growth that our local dealer is
experiencing,” says Jeff Carpenter, Blue Bird’s VP of North America Bus
Sales. “We are sure to see more growth in the State of Georgia and an
even better service experience due to Yancey’s efforts.”
The new Yancey Bus Sales and Service location is located at 703 Joe
Tamplin Blvd. Macon, GA 31217, and can be reached at (478) 785 – 5100.
It is now open for business. There will be a Grand Opening Event on
October 30, 2015, where Yancey will be hosting a cookout, holding
facility tours, showing A/C installation demonstrations, and much more.
