M&K Truck Centers

M & K Truck Centers is a full-service, award-winning commercial vehicle dealer group that is headquartered in Byron Center, MI and has been in business for over 30 years. The company got its start when Ron Meyering, a successful salesperson, bought the used truck inventory of a leasing company to incorporate M & K Quality Truck Sales in 1989. The business grew steadily over the next decade. In 2002, Ron acquired two Volvo Truck dealerships in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, allowing him to enter the high-quality new truck market. A year later, Mack Trucks was added to the M&K family at our Kalamazoo location. M&K Truck Centers has continued to grow and thrive in the Midwest. We are proud to represent Mack, Volvo, Hino and Isuzu trucks; Wabash, East and Vanguard trailers; and Renegade motor coaches. Our organization’s comprehensive service offerings include financing, leasing and rental services as a member of NationaLease, service and repair on all makes and models, and one of the industry’s largest parts inventories. M&K employs over 1,000 talented people across Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
