Central States Bus Sales, Inc., has been a school and commercial bus distributor since 1975, providing thousands of new and pre-owned buses to our many satisfied customers. Our Mission is to “PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS THAT ENRICH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE.” We never forget that though we may be a provider of equipment, it is the people who are ultimately served by the buses we provide who are our final customers and whose needs must be satisfied.

Central States maintains an extensive inventory of bus parts and related accessories, and our team of bus parts experts ensures our customers get the right parts the first time. Those two key advantages enable us to consistently maintain a 95% fill rate for the parts we supply. For our customers, that means their buses will soon be back on the road safely transporting passengers.

Being Blue Bird’s largest distributor, covering the states of Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama and one of the nation’s largest dealers for school and commercial buses including ARBOC, BraunAbility, Champion, Diamond, ElDorado, Mobility Trans, and Starcraft means nothing if it doesn’t translate into benefits to our customers.  For Central States, our size means five full-service facilities (with a 6th in Alabama coming soon), an extensive parts inventory, a large inventory of New, Lease/Return, and Used School and Commercial Buses available for quick delivery, a customer service department that specializes in solving bus related issues, and a staff of over 100 people who work diligently to satisfy our customers’ needs.
