Kerry Brothers Truck Repair, a leading provider of commercial truck and fleet maintenance services in Southeast Michigan, has expanded through four strategic growth initiatives: the acquisition of Kustom Truck & Trailer in Lenox/New Haven, the acquisition of Vehicle Clinic, the acquisition of Downriver Truck and Bus in Brownstown, and the opening of a new 20,000-square-foot heavy- and light-duty truck repair and fleet maintenance facility in Wixom.

Together, these developments expand Kerry Brothers’ footprint across every corner of the greater Detroit region, east, south, central, and west, and significantly broaden the range of vehicles and services the company delivers.

“This is a defining moment for Kerry Brothers,” said Bill Kerry, owner, Kerry Brothers Truck Repair. “With Kustom Truck & Trailer to the east, the Detroit Bus Garage at the heart of it all, Downriver Truck and Bus to the south, and our new Wixom facility to the west and north, we are expanding in every direction, growing our footprint, the range of vehicles we service, and the customers we can support, from heavy-duty trucks and trailers to mass transit and school buses. We are building the kind of maintenance partner Southeast Michigan deserves.”

Acquisition of Kustom Truck & Trailer

Kerry Brothers has completed the acquisition of Kustom Truck & Trailer, a well-established heavy-duty truck and trailer repair shop based in Lenox, Michigan (New Haven). Beyond its core repair services, Kustom brings distinctive expertise in tractor and dump bodies and the full range of custom truck-bed work including accessories, lighting effects, paint and art, and custom metal fabrication.

The acquisition also extends Kerry Brothers’ footprint eastward, expanding the company’s Southeast Michigan coverage into new territory.

r“This acquisition is a proud moment for our entire organization. Kustom Truck & Trailer has built an exceptional reputation in the Lenox/New Haven area, and their values mirror our own. We’re not just adding a location, we’re welcoming a team of skilled professionals who will help us serve more customers, better and faster, across Southeast Michigan,” Kerry added.

“I am excited about the opportunity that comes with our agreement with Kerry Brothers,” said Mike Kotulski, owner, Kustom Truck & Trailer. “When you build something and develop a team like we have, you want to make sure your decisions impact them positively, as well as the Lenox/New Haven community we love to serve. Our home is here in Lenox, and we now have the chance to add new jobs to a place that means so much to us. Kerry Brothers’ reputation in the industry is second to none, and the skills each of our teams brings will only enhance everyone’s capabilities.”

Acquisition of Vehicle Clinic

Kerry Brothers has completed the acquisition of Vehicle Clinic, an expert facility for all bus types with a specific emphasis on municipality and fleet service as well as individual repairs. Vehicle Clinic stands on over 40 years of experience in mass transit and bus repair that have anchored the facility’s reputation for expertise and reliability.

The acquisition complements Kerry Brothers’ existing truck and fleet maintenance services and positions the company to support a wider range of operators throughout the Detroit metro area.

Acquisition of Downriver Truck and Bus

Kerry Brothers has also completed the acquisition of Downriver Truck and Bus in Brownstown, Michigan. Downriver delivers the full range of bus services offered at the Detroit Bus Garage, with the added benefit of school bus expertise: its experienced team of technicians brings deep knowledge of school bus maintenance and the certification-ready standards and practices required by the State of Michigan for classroom-use operation.

The acquisition cements Kerry Brothers’ position in school bus service across Southeast Michigan and extends the company’s footprint south into the Downriver communities and Wayne County.

New Wixom Facility

Kerry Brothers has opened a new 20,000-square-foot facility in Wixom, Michigan, offering heavy- and light-duty truck repair, diesel repair, fleet maintenance, and fleet management. The expansive space is staffed by expert technicians and delivers the full range of Kerry Brothers’ traditional services to new customers, further extending the company’s footprint west and north across Southeast Michigan.

Terms of the transactions were not disclosed. Operations at all locations are expected to continue without interruption, and customers of the acquired businesses will experience a seamless transition under Kerry Brothers’ management. The company’s growth strategy includes further expansion of its shop network across Michigan and continued investment in workforce development.
