proactive fleet maintenance
A proactive and preventative fleet maintenance program will ensure the longevity and success of your fleet equipment, trucks, trailers and vehicles. Full Inspections, commercial vehicle inspections (CVIP), repairs and maintenance can prevent smaller, easily repaired problems from becoming larger, more expensive ones, which in the end helps your bottom line.
If you only take in and repair your heavy duty equipment when a problem arises and becomes prevalent, this will ultimately lead to more downtime, which leads to costly downtime on the road and a decrease in productivity and profitability.
FLEET MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS, SUCH AS THE ONES OFFERED BY GET R DONE, INCLUDE:
- A checklist of tasks performed
- Preventative maintenance schedules
- Inspection and CVIP results
- Driver-noted issues to talk with staff about how gear is being handled
- Trained professional and fully certified heavy duty technicians
REGULAR HEAVY DUTY OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE
I know it sounds obvious, but making sure your fleet vehicles and trucks are maintained properly is to have its oil changed regularly. Engine oil is what lubricates your fleet vehicles’ engines, allowing them to run smoothly and last longer. Fleet owners must maintain their vehicles’ engines by changing the oil and using the oil appropriate for their vehicles’ makes and models. The necessary frequency of oil changes has become a point of contention among experts. The best course of action is to check the owner’s manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations. If the “check engine oil” light comes on while driving, this is a strong indication that the truck is running low on oil.
BATTERY REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT SERVICES
The batteries in your fleet vehicles provide the necessary power and electrical currents, which start the engine and keep the lights on. Most heavy duty equipment batteries need to be replaced every couple of years, depending on the conditions in which you drive.
Extreme weather, low temperatures such as we experience in Alberta, continued use of vehicle accessories and other conditions can lead to shorter battery life. Over time, your battery loses its ability to maintain amps to crank properly and manage the power needs of your gear, and you may need to occasionally jump-start your rig in order to get it running. If your vehicle is showing signs of lessened battery life, such as delayed start time, you may need to get your battery replaced. The commercial truck and trailer expert team at Get ‘R Done can examine, diagnose and replace/install your battery as needed.
filter REPLACEMENT SERVICES
Your fleet of heavy duty equipment needs to run smoothly in order to ensure a safe, comfortable drive. One of the best ways to make sure your fleet vehicle’s engine runs well is to regularly inspect, clean and replace its filters. Oil filters and air filters must be replaced at regular intervals in order to allow your engine to run at its maximum capacity and continue to carry large, heavy loads. By setting up a proper fleet maintenance schedule with Get ‘R Done Heavy Truck Repair, you can make sure your filters are always replaced on time every time.
HEAVY DUTY FLUID FLUSH/EXCHANGE
Making sure the fluids in your fleet vehicle’s engine are both at the right levels and the right consistency. Neglecting to regularly change the coolant, antifreeze and other fluids within your truck’s or heavy duty equipment’s engine can lead to slower and more difficult driving. The team of heavy duty mechanics at Get R Done Heavy Truck Repair will check your vehicle’s fluid levels and conditions and replace or refill them as needed.
Making sure you have a successful fleet is to make sure it is always performing its best. Regular fleet maintenance repairs and inspections keeps you and your vehicle ahead of the curve and can help prevent expensive problems from arising.
scheduled maintenance program
The team at Get ‘R Done Heavy Duty Truck Repair can put together a maintenance schedule to make sure your fleet vehicle is always road-ready. Our technicians will review your vehicle’s history, current condition of your gear, and assess the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure its parts are always replaced or maintained as needed, preventing costly problems.
