New all-makes brand
enters aftermarket
Road Choice Truck Parts is the new-
est brand to enter the heavy-duty truck
industry's private label all-makes market.
Offering a growing line of high-
demand parts, including air conditioning,
air springs, air/electrical coils and acces-
sories, brake chambers, exhaust products,
lighting, shock absorbers and universal
joints, Road Choice says its all-makes
parts are value-priced to compete with
heavy-duty manufacturers' and ware-
house distributors' private brand parts.
Road Choice says its products are de-
signed to offer owners of out-of-warranty
trucks quality and reliability with parts
covered under a minimum, one-year
warranty.
"With the average life of most Class
8 trucks increasing, there is a growing
demand for parts at a value-price point
as an alternative to genuine or remanu-
factured parts," says Dan Bambrick, Road
Choice private brand manager.
"Road Choice brand parts are de-
veloped specifi cally with the needs of
second- and third-generation truck own-
ers in mind. We've designed our line of
dependable high-demand parts around
their needs."
