Lmackattack Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is there any true Mack dealerships lift around here? Northern IL Mack sold a few years back to CIT. Looks like Chicago Mack sold to M&K. Seams like all the old dealerships have sold out or jumped ship to now selling Volvos.Is there any true Mack dealers left around here?

Nobody454 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I think Chandler's in Mokena is a Mack service dealer, but not sales. Sort of like Nagel I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I thought Superior Diesel out in Waterman was a Mack dealer at one time but I don't think they are anymore. I remember theyhad Macks out in the lot for sale and a Mack sign out front. They are still around but I'm not sure if they have any association with Mack any more.

mackey58 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 They used to do lots of Mack repairs I though they were a dealer at one time they were listed in the Mack dealer book that came with the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I thought Superior Diesel out in Waterman was a Mack dealer at one time but I don't think they are anymore. I remember theyhad Macks out in the lot for sale and a Mack sign out front. They are still around but I'm not sure if they have any association with Mack any more.Superior use to be connected with Rockford Mack. The trucks he had were actually theirs. Not sure if he is affiliated anymore now that CIT took over. And as far as I knoe Axle is still Mack certified, but didn't know they sold trucks. I remember when I first started 10 years ago you would see a lot of small truck repair shops that had the "Mack Certified" signs. I don't think their are many around anymore. And does anyone know what the story is with Nagel buying Axle Equipment? I was told they only made like 4 trailers after they bought them and then just stopped. Obviously they are great trailers cause there are still so many of them on the road. I would eventually love to find one in really good condition. Plus has anyone heard the rumor that Nagel had two brand new R models sitting in one of his buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Donohue Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Chicago , Joliet , Indiana Mack and the small satellite shops were great when owned by Shelby , bit no longer. While I don't get thru Tulsa much ,I always appreciated Tulsa Mack! If I had the cash to buy the 2000 Vision there right now I would !

james j neiweem Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Celli may still be a service center for Mack, but I don't believe they sell Macks. I think they sell Mitsubishi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody454 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I see a lot of UPS macks at celli, you are probably right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manolumber Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yes, Celli does still service Macks but I dont know if they sell new ones. Heard M &K has purchased Celli but that info is third hand so take it with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
