Preventive Maintenance

Scheduled service built around how you actually run — so the truck comes off the road when you choose, not when it breaks.

What to expect

The whole argument for preventive maintenance is control over when you lose the truck. Planned downtime is a scheduling problem. Unplanned downtime is a tow, a missed load, and a customer who calls someone else next time.

We build a schedule around your equipment and your duty cycle, and we bundle it with the inspections you already owe the state — so one visit covers the service, the BIT inspection and the emissions test instead of three separate days off the road.

Straight Answers

Preventive Maintenance — common questions

How do I know what interval my truck should be on?

It comes from the manufacturer's schedule adjusted for how you actually run — miles, idle hours, load, and terrain. A local truck that idles all day and a highway tractor on the same odometer are not on the same schedule. Tell us how the truck works and we will set it properly.

Can you keep track of when things are due for my fleet?

Yes. We keep the schedule and send email reminders before things come due, which is the part most operations lose track of once they are past a handful of units.

Can PM and my inspections be done in one visit?

That is how we prefer to do it. The truck is already down and already on the rack — combining the service with the BIT inspection and the emissions test costs you one day instead of three.

Where We Work

Preventive Maintenance across East County and San Diego County

The shop is on Riverside Drive in Lakeside, so the tow is short from most of East County — and a short tow is real money on a truck that will not roll. We take work from across San Diego County.
