The company announced that a grand opening celebration is scheduled for July 29 at 1 p.m. at the new facility, located about 20 miles east of downtown Columbus.

Ohio Peterbilt said Heavy D and Diesel Dave from the television series Diesel Brothers will appear during the event. The company also said select customers will have an opportunity to win a meet and greet with the pair by entering here.

“Our Etna location is more than just a new dealership, it’s a destination,” said Mike Crawford, vice president of Ohio Peterbilt.

The New Etna Facility Adds Expanded Service Capacity

According to the company, the new Etna dealership covers 82,000 square feet and includes 25 service bays, a central parts distribution center, expanded office and retail space, and maintenance operations designed to support fleets and owner operators moving freight throughout central Ohio and the Midwest.

The facility also includes direct access near Interstate 70, one of the region’s busiest freight corridors.

Ohio Peterbilt described the Etna project as a major investment intended to expand service capacity and improve support for customers operating throughout the area.

Grand Opening Event Will Feature Diesel Brothers Guests

“We’re excited to officially open our doors and celebrate with our customers, partners, and the community,” Crawford said. “Having Heavy D and Diesel Dave join us makes this event even more special, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to see what this facility has to offer.”

The company said the dealership was built to provide expanded truck service, maintenance, and parts support for drivers and fleets operating across the Midwest.

Bringing Services Closer to Drivers

“We are excited to bring The Pete Store experience to Western North Carolina,” said Greg Arscott, president, The Pete Store. “This region is home to a large and growing base of Peterbilt customers, and this investment allows us to deliver the award-winning support they deserve closer to where they operate.”

The Asheville facility, located at 223 Amboy Road, spans 30,000 square feet on a five-acre site. It offers preventive maintenance, warranty repair, advanced diagnostics, and mobile service. Drivers and fleet operators can also rely on a broad all-makes parts inventory, helping minimize downtime for trucks operating across the region.

Creating Jobs and Supporting Local Fleets

The new location is expected to generate at least 30 positions this fall, including technicians, parts specialists, and support staff—providing career opportunities in the area while strengthening support for regional fleets.

A Growing Network

With Asheville joining the roster, The Pete Store now operates 31 locations across the eastern United States, reinforcing its commitment to keeping trucks on the road and drivers moving efficiently.
