If you're running/managing a truck fleet service, it's essential to ensure that your vehicles are kept in top condition. This is vital to your operations, the safety of your staff and of the goods being transported and also for the reputation of your business. Reliability and trustworthiness of your vehicles depends on the way they are cared for, serviced and maintained, with regular check-ups, cleaning and test-drives.
The services offered at a certified mechanic's shop:
Experience and Expertise:
Trained and certified staff is on hand to attend to your fleet. Many mechanic shops also have DOT certifications and fleet safety inspection capability/certification and this can be done at your own facility too. They have facilities for diagnostics and repair of brakes, engines, suspension and interiors.
Right Equipment:
A certified mechanic shop usually carries the right kind of tools and equipment for diagnostics, repair and maintenance of your fleet. State-of-the-art computerized diagnostics tools can save you big money in terms of identifying the problem quickly and getting it attended to without having to keep one or more of your vehicles stationary in a repair shop for weeks together. For brake and suspension repairs, electricals or problems with the AC a certified mechanic can use the expertise of fellow-mechanics and the entire team can get your truck back on the road quickly.
Comprehensive Services:
You get a wide range of services under one roof at a certified mechanic shop. Engine rebuilding, transmission problems, replacement of parts, oil-changes, alignment, tire replacement and AC rebuilding or replacement can be carried out. Most big service mechanics have their own research and review facilities to give you updates on new technologies, maintenance features etc. Tire service and sales are also available.
Warranties/Security: Reliable mechanics can provide you with the available warranties, security and licensing norms regarding their services, sale of spares and all the necessary information regarding safety norms for your fleet.
Emergency/Breakdown Services: These are perhaps the most important features offered by a certified mechanic shop. A 24x7 emergency and breakdown service can enable your business to function smoothly without interruption, look after the safety of your vehicles and their drivers and also ensure that the goods being transported reach their destinations in the stipulated time, thus avoiding penalty costs.
Even if you're a certified truck mechanic yourself, it's a good idea to enlist the services of an outside professional who has the necessary certifications and qualifications to handle the job to protect your vehicles and your business reputation and revenues.
