Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles, LLC

What Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles, LLC does

Pinnacle Emergency Vehicles, LLC is a privately-held emergency vehicle dealership and service company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Centerton, Arkansas. The company holds exclusive dealer representation for three premium ambulance manufacturers — Braun, Demers, and Crestline — across a Four-State Area covering Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Its core business is the sale of new Type I, II, and III ambulances to government EMS agencies, ambulance districts, and fire departments, alongside a remount/refurbishment service (Revitalize by Pinnacle and a Medwerks partnership) that extends ambulance life at 30-50% of new-vehicle cost.

The company's underlying operations span three integrated revenue streams: (1) new ambulance sales across 14+ model lines (Braun Express Plus, Liberty, Chief XL, Express, Super Chief; Demers MXP150, MXP170, FXP174, MX164, MX170, Transit; Crestline CCL150, CCL166); (2) in-house ambulance remounts at a recently expanded dedicated facility that triples prior floorspace, with an 8-week in-house lead time once module and chassis arrive; and (3) mobile service and parts via a fleet staffed by certified Emergency Vehicle Technicians (EVTs), supplemented by service-center partnerships across the territory. Distribution combines regional field sales (including a dedicated Oklahoma regional sales manager), inbound phone/contact-form sales, demo/stock unit sales for quick delivery, and industry event presence.

The business model is hardware-led: revenue is generated primarily through vehicle sales and remount/refurbishment services, with pricing on a quote basis. The company is family-owned (Justin Jarvis as Owner; co-founder Lisa Jarvis is deceased; Kade Jarvis serving as Interim General Manager) and operates with a 17-person team across sales, service, remount, and graphics functions. There is no institutional investment, parent company, or disclosed funding history; growth is being financed organically, as evidenced by the recent self-funded facility expansion.
