Kerry Brothers Truck Repair, a family owned leader in comprehensive fleet maintenance and repair, has announced the friendly acquisition of Downriver Bus & Truck Repair of Brownstown Township, Mich. The move marks a significant milestone for both family owned businesses and reinforces their shared commitment to quality, reliability, and customer care.
For more than 40 years, Downriver Bus & Truck Repair has been a trusted name in heavy-duty vehicle service across Southeast Michigan, known for its technical expertise, integrity, and dedication to keeping fleets safely on the road. The company’s owner, Tim Dickey, expressed enthusiasm about the transition.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to see Downriver become part of the Kerry Brothers family,” said Dickey, who has been operating the company his father, Ira Dickey, founded for the past 30 years. “They share our same values of honesty, craftsmanship, and treating customers like family. Knowing our employees are staying on and our customers will continue to receive the same great service gives me complete peace of mind as I enter my next chapter.”
Under the acquisition, all Downriver Bus & Truck Repair employees have been retained, ensuring continuity of service for existing customers while opening the door to expanded capabilities through Kerry Brothers’ advanced systems, extended hours, and full-service fleet solutions.
Bill Kerry, owner of Kerry Brothers Truck Repair, said the acquisition represents a strategic expansion in the company’s long-term growth plan.
“This is an exciting step forward for Kerry Brothers,” Kerry said. “Downriver Bus & Truck Repair has built an incredible reputation over four decades, and we’re honored to carry that legacy forward. This addition strengthens our presence in the region and is just the first step in our broader expansion goals.”
Kerry Brothers Truck Repair will integrate Downriver’s operations, including its Michigan Bus Parts division, into its family of services.
