FOSTER COACH SALES, INC IS GROWING TO SERVE YOU BETTER

The new Foster Coach building at 903 Prosperity Drive in Sterling, Illinois.

Steve Foster, President of Foster Coach Sales, Inc. of Sterling, Illinois, is proud to announce the completion of two new facilities for Rock River Auto Body, Inc. and Foster Coach Sales, Inc. Both new buildings and business operations are situated on about 2.5 acres, approximately one half mile west of the old Foster Coach facility in Sterling’s Meadowlands Business Park.

Owned by Steve Foster, Rock River Auto Body, Inc. opened its new facility in mid-December 2010. The 8,000 square foot body shop features a 45 foot long down draft paint/spray/bake booth. The air make up unit can take the room temperature from 70 to 140 degrees in one minute and a half. In addition, the shop has in floor heat and air conditioning for climate control.

“The booth is the largest and most modern booth in a 45 mile radius,” remarked Steve Foster, owner of Rock River Auto Body, Inc. and President of Foster Coach Sales, Inc. “This is truly a state of the art facility, which should give our technicians a chance to expand an already growing and successful business.”

Foster Coach Sales, Inc. had outgrown its old facilities as well. Despite a down economy, Foster Coach Sales, Inc. has experienced continued growth each year. Therefore, we decided to build a new facility in conjunction with the body shop which is located across a shared parking lot. Total work and storage area will be 16,000 square feet, while offices comprise another 2,600 square feet.

While the timing seemed bad to expand, it made sense for us to move out of retrofit facilities that we had simply outgrown. We were in our old building since 1982. It was originally a grocery store and was never meant to be a specialty vehicle service facility.

“Our continued growth dictated we do something. It is a commitment to our customers that drives us to bigger and

better things,” said Foster. “The customer support and loyalty of our employees has been phenomenal over the years. We are poised to move forward with the third generation of a family business: Growing To Serve You Better.”
