Heavy-Duty Truck Preventive Maintenance Saves Money, Time, and Prevents Breakdowns

Heavy-duty truck preventative maintenance is a topic close to the hearts of all companies who depend on hauling goods, supplying raw materials, or even self-employed individuals. Without preventative routine maintenance, trucks can break down without warning, leaving the company with no way to get their product to market in time. Some preventative heavy-duty maintenance that all drivers should adhere to includes checking oil levels daily and adding fluid when needed, inspecting tire pressure weekly, checking coolant levels daily with water added if low, and replacing filters monthly. At JE-CO Truck & Trailer in Denver, Colorado, our valued customers can take advantage of our high-end preventative maintenance services. By following a preventative maintenance program, customers can bring their vehicles in for regular inspection and maintenance so that any repairs can be done before they reach a point of critical failure. 

How does heavy-duty truck preventative maintenance save you money?

By following preventative maintenance schedules, drivers save money in the long run. They are able to prevent major problems with their vehicle that can cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace. While heavy-duty maintenance costs money upfront, it saves companies in the end. Preventative maintenance ensures that your vehicles are always working at peak performance levels, allowing you to have more time between expensive repairs and breakdowns. Without routine maintenance, drivers risk losing time when something goes wrong with their vehicle while on the road. Tools may need to be pulled out in order for a driver to fix the problem themselves or call for assistance, causing them to lose valuable hours on their route. If preventative maintenance is followed, problems can be identified and fixed before they become too serious and expensive.

How does heavy-duty truck preventative maintenance save you time?

Heavy-duty preventative maintenance saves drivers time in two ways. First, preventative routine inspections allow for smaller issues to be identified and fixed before they become problems that prevent you from completing your route on time. For example, checking tire pressures weekly allows drivers to identify when their tires are low and fill up the tires before they risk blowing out while driving. Secondly, routine maintenance keeps vehicles in good working condition which allows the driver to avoid having major repairs needed while on their route. If heavy-duty maintenance is followed closely by all drivers, companies save money each month due to reduced repair costs and vehicle downtime. Additionally, when you keep up with your maintenance services for your heavy-duty truck, you can take advantage of the technician's skills and experience. For example, at JE-CO Truck & Trailer in Denver, Colorado, our technicians are fully certified and expertly trained to work on heavy-duty trucks of all makes. They know what to look for as far as identifying underlying issues before they become bigger problems. This saves you time because any issues that are noticed during your preventative maintenance appointment are addressed right then and there.

How does heavy-duty truck preventative maintenance prevent breakdowns?

By maintaining preventative inspections for your heavy-duty vehicle, you can prevent breakdowns that would prevent you from completing your route on time. For example, if preventative routine maintenance is followed and tire pressures are checked weekly, drivers will avoid having their tires blow out while driving which prevents them from being late to their destination. If preventative maintenance is followed by all drivers, companies save money each month due to reduced repair costs and vehicle downtime. Additionally, preventative maintenance helps drivers avoid breakdowns that can prevent them from completing their route on time. For example, heavy-duty truck maintenance can include inspections on things like the drivetrain. By making sure that your routine maintenance includes servicing all of the parts in your drivetrain, you are ensuring that nothing goes wrong with it while driving. Since routine maintenance is designed to prevent problems from developing into major issues, preventative inspection services for your heavy-duty vehicle can include checking elements such as belts and hoses which are important for having a smooth operation throughout the seasons.

Why choose JE-CO Truck & Trailer for your preventative maintenance services?

In most cases, preventative maintenance services are extremely valuable for businesses operating multiple vehicles. Rather than reacting to problems with your vehicles based on the failure of components, scheduled preventative maintenance services allows us to catch small issues before they become big ones. This type of maintenance program typically reduces downtime and provides an overall positive return on investment to the business or vehicle owner as equipment does not sit idle and larger repair bills don't come up as often. By following a preventative maintenance program, your vehicles are brought in for regular inspection and maintenance so that any repairs can be done before they reach a point of critical failure. Ultimately, this allows you to run on a more predictable and efficient schedule, prevent violations, and keep your vehicles on the road and making money. The saying is never more true than when it comes to routine heavy-duty truck maintenance. Our preventative maintenance service ensures that your vehicle is inspected, repaired, and maintained so that problems are presented before issues occur.

"I highly recommend this shop. I had luke a technician there do some work on my truck after a ford dealership took 6 days and failed to acknowledge my warranty on 3 leaking oil spots on my truck.Once the dealership screwed me over I took my truck here. Luke was very impressive, fast and communicative. He provided me photos. He kept me updated on everything he did. I still have a warranty through ford but apparently it’s useless. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to them considering how they treated me. Luke is a solid technician who is very skilled. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you."

"Our truck broke down just as we were getting into Denver.  It was a major repair and they accomplished it quickly and we were back in our truck. Everyone there was very professional and nice to work with. The unhappy news of a major repair was actually a good experience. Definitely recommend Iron Buffalo."
Kelly
"I’m glad I went to this shop. I was so worried it would be another back door mechanic wanting to swindle me. It was anything but. Shannon was super kind and went way out of his way getting me in right away. And Steve was a professional from start to finish in assisting with the work being done. I’m really appreciative and would 100% use this shop again."
Kristin
"Steven Riddle is the best service writer if ever dealt with. He is very knowledgeable, I called with starting issues. With in 1hour try had my truck towed in. That day they had it diagnosed then next day they found the parts. Great job, I will be using in the future. Thanks a lot."
Mike
"Kanisha was great, I had been trying to get my small hydraulic cylinder repaired for quite some time and she was the first person that said "YES" she was honest about needing to look first.  She was willing to listen and explained the process.  When I came in she was polite and professional. She communicated like she said she would and got it taken car of!  I'll recommend Kanisha and Iron Buffalo!"
Lance
