I work for a smaller carrier out of Michigan, my driver had some transmission issues. I contacted Kenworth of Fort Wayne and had the pleasure of working with Heidi. She recommended a towing company Parker towing. They were quick and efficient to pick up the truck. Heidi at Kenworth did inform they were extremely busy and wouldnt be able to actually repair the unit until the following Monday. They took the time to plug in and check what was wrong, they found the problem and they were able to repair it immediately! I cant thank Heidi and her team for the fantastic service and their professionalism! I highly recommend Kenworth of Fort Wayne! See Heidi or Ron in the service department!

From what I hear a few buddies that drive truck and they all seem to love this place therefore for totally opposite people different times but I asked them all seem to have the same answer and if its one thing they have in common its the fact that they like doing business at Kenworth so anybody who is looking to do business with the trucking company I would definitely recommend them because I can highly recommend it from a group of friends that I would recommend.

The service dept worked me in on a Sunday morning for an unexpected issue with a truck we just bought. Kyle and Josh went well over and above what I expected in my order to get me back on the road. You will be my first call should I need service in the Ft Wayne area again. Thanks to everyone at Palmer!

The service writer and other personnel were exceptionally rude and disrespectful. Finding a bad fuse and 2 wipers replacement cost 333.29, If you can fix it somewhere else youd be better off.

About midnight I pulled in, told them my air dryer was out, they were willing to replace it right there, 3hours max. Came back a few moments later with some honesty and said I just needed an airbag replaced. I was in & out. I’m under a load so I really appreciate the guys who were on night shift 8/14 . Thanks for quickness, honesty & just nice customer service(that’s hard to come by ) so I’m grateful for just a little of it.

In my 31 years out here, Ive never seen a group of service people, parts people, and sales people work so hard to make sure a customer is taken care of. These folks go above and beyond to get the job done. Thanks Palmer for taking excellent care of my ride!

They were amazing. They treated me so well while I was there, unfortunate circumstances came about and they still helped me to the best of their abilities. They have great personalities and great attitudes. They kept me in the loop about the truck, and what the truck owner was saying. Id definitely recommend these guys to anyone.

Salesman Jason Lloyd was outstanding very professional, very friendly calls you on the phone keeps tabs on you. While we were at home in Tennessee. He made us feel very comfortable with our purchase of a new truck. Jason goes above and beyond with the transition from one truck to another to help us get ready to get back on the road. We felt very appreciated and welcomed. Thank you Jason Lloyd, David and katt Dunavent

FANTASTIC Kenworth Repair shop!! These guys diagnosed our truck and then got him in the shop to install a part, in and out, with the most fair pricing I have ever experienced with Kenworth across the Eastern US. Dave, the weekend guy, and Brad, the night guy are both professional and eager to help. Weve had bad experiences before and its so refreshing to find a shop that is beyond fair and does such a great job!!-Jacquelynn Kelley

Only go if you dont mind having no place to park. The lot is full...VERY full. God help you if you have a trailer because there is no place for one to sit....even though they are a flatbed dealership. They have one display unit that is blocked in. Service is a week to two weeks backed up. Can not drive around the building, the lot is so messed up. Trucks everywhere, hard to drive around.On the up side the people there are very nice, helpful, and understanding of there lot issue.Update:Drove past at 7:45am, even from the road I can easily see no place to park. Parked in the fuel station by the Blue beacon and talk to other drives about it. Say story, theres no place to park there and unless youre a big company there is no chance of the work getting done for a long time.

Bought a truck in July. They were quick to get me in and out which at the time was appreciated. After 4 blown tires in the first month i was made aware that the tires were 10 year old recaps. Also spent over 30k$ and left there with my fuel light on and no help with that either. Do your homework before purchasing

Typical dealer. Dont spent 3+million in new trucks and expect that to impact their customer service in any way. Still treat you like you were some company driver who is wearing PJs and hasnt showered in weeks.

Good food, and showers. Theres lots of truck parking, and the BB truck wash is on site with really easy access from the parking area. Theres a McDonalds on site as well for those needing to eat on a budget. The travel store isnt owned by pilot as the fuel pumps are so you cannot use your rewards for food on the days your busted from sitting too much waiting for loads.

Discovered a bracket holding my FASS Fuel system had snapped in half. Drove it into the shop and not only did they get me in right away and welded the bracket back together but came up with a solution to add more support and strength to the bracket. A good welder is worth his weight in gold and they got one here. THANKS GUYS!!!!-Dan PearceCTBS Trucking LLC

I was having an issue with my drive side steer hub. When I went to replace the hub, a bolt broke off and needed to be drilled out.We tried to weld to the bolt to get better traction but the heads kept breaking off.Drilled out the bolt and helicoilled the hole. Grinded off the excess gasket, replaced gasket and was out in about 2 hours.Only reason for not getting 5 stars is the hourly labor rate.Still I am very thankful. Good job

Service after the sale does not exist! I bought a brand new, big sleeper truck almost 2 years ago. Every time I had to take truck in, I had to argue that it was still under warranty. Ive had a suspension issue from day 1. Palmer blames ARI sleeper and ARI blames Palmer and still not fixed. For $233,000 one would think they would at least try. My next truck will NOT be bought at Palmer.

I cant say enough good about this place. I met these folks at my Landstar million miler. A few years later i decided to order a new truck and go with KW. I called and reached Jason Lloyd, the sales person who dealt with me via phone for approximately five to six months. He was with me the whole step of the way, from ordering and making sure the fine details were done, to sending the truck to ARI and having things completed there. Wow, and what a patient man this is. I had a few changes thru the process, and he never said no, we cant do that. I also had major things put in, like a huge fridge/freezer. No problem...it was never a problem. The whole process was just easy and actually fun. To see how it all emerged and the outcome was the most beautiful truck ive ever had in 25 years. I thank Beth as well who did all the paperwork with me, overnighting things several times. I was treated like family throughout the whole process. I came to these people from Georgia and im glad i did. You will always have my business!
