Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles is New Braun Dealer

Braun Industries is proud to announce the newest dealership to join the Braun family. Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles will provide new Braun ambulance sales in Missouri and Kansas. They will also be a Braun Authorized Service Center.

Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles is a startup dealership located in Gravette, Arkansas. Like Braun Industries, the company is family-owned and operated. Justin Jarvis and wife, Lisa, opened the dealership in 2014 with the goal of offering only the best in emergency vehicle sales & service.

Justin has a long history in the EMS Industry. For over 15 years, he’s worked in ambulance sales. For over 22 years, he’s provided emergency services as a Certified Firefighter I & II and Missouri Licensed Paramedic. Justin’s exceptional background is a great asset to his customers. His experience working inside an ambulance helps him better understand where his customers are coming from and what important considerations should be added to the specifications, all while meeting their budget and exceeding their expectations. His time in ambulance sales allows him to properly articulate the client’s needs to Braun engineers, and ensure open communication during the construction process and timely delivery. He is a great resource for departments and private organizations throughout Missouri and Kansas.

Justin has the following to say about becoming a Braun ambulance dealer. “When forming Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles, we had many choices in which brands of emergency vehicles to represent. Our goal was to partner with a premium brand and company that most closely aligned with our own business principles. During our evaluations of various companies, Braun not only met, but far exceeded our expectations. It was a logical choice for us to partner with Braun and we are very excited to represent the entire Braun product line in the states of Missouri and Kansas.”

Justin anticipates the Braun Chief XL ambulance will be a popular model in his territory. The well-equipped model is available in both a Type I and Type III configuration. The Chief XL also offers more exterior and interior storage capability than comparable models from other brands, a critical feature for most departments. Standard on the Chief XL is Braun’s SolidBody Construction. This unique fabrication process creates one integrated module from .125″ flat-sheet marine grade aluminum, producing a structural integrity unmatched in the industry. All of Braun’s units are built using SolidBody Construction; there are seven models in the 2014 lineup.

“We are extremely excited to have Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles join our family of best in class dealerships,” says Chad Brown, Braun Industries Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Justin has years of experience in this industry and his dealership will provide the world class sales and service that our customers have become accustomed to!”
