Bridgestone Truck Point hits record call out response times

Sometimes punctures are unpreventable. That is why Bridgestone UK is so pleased by its latest breakdown response times. According to the company, the figures show average call out response times of 48 minutes anywhere in the UK – day or night.

The network has more than 300 independent outlets and 1,000 service staff that are trained specifically on servicing truck tyres, reassuring customers that it can properly provide service cover across Europe.

A dedicated breakdown call centre is staffed with a knowledgeable truck tyre team who are proficient in handling break down emergencies and can fully assist in getting trucks back up and running promptly. To continue communications effectively between truck fleet operators and their customers, the centre also provides an automated email service that will alert the customer when a break down has occurred and when the truck has been repaired.

Andy Mathias, Bridgestone UK TBR product and marketing manager, said: “Bridgestone is always aware of the problems that breakdowns can cause for truck fleet operators and we are committed to quick, quality controlled call out response times.  Our service is designed to eliminate any concern operators may have about breakdown repair response times and allow businesses to trust that Bridgestone will handle their needs fast and successfully.”
