Benefits of a Professional Truck Service
There are three options for commercial truck maintenance: handle it yourself, visit an independent repair shop, or get a professional truck service through a dealership. The right choice depends largely on the given situation. A minor task, such as measuring tire air pressure, can easily be done yourself. But larger and more complex projects are best done through a commercial truck service department for the following reasons.
If you have questions or need to get your truck serviced, the experts at Empire Truck Sales are here to help. Contact us or stop by one of our many dealerships throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Alabama.
1. Access to Trained Technicians
A commercial truck service department employs highly trained and highly skilled individuals. These workers know the ins and outs of various trucks. After all, they work with the different makes and models day after day.
This specialized knowledge makes it much easier for the service department staff to catch hidden issues. They can find issues and solve them...before they turn into a more expensive repair or a safety situation on the road.
The service department staff is also well-suited for an efficient and effective repair or parts replacement. Some do-it-yourself projects can, and do, go wrong. Not all independent repair shops employ the most skilled workers or do a quality job. But service department staff receive ongoing training, which ensures they keep up with the latest techniques and deliver an exceptional experience.
2. Access to Specialized Tools
Some maintenance tasks can only be handled with the proper tools. These tools are well-stocked at a truck service department. The staff can get the project done in no time, which would be hard to replicate without access to those specialized tools.
These tools also help speed up the repair time, which means less money lost to down time while the commercial truck sits in the shop.
3. Access to Parts
Many commercial truck parts wear down over time and eventually need to be replaced. It can be tough finding those parts on your own and at a decent price.
A commercial truck service department will often have a large inventory of parts ready to go. If they don't have the part you need, they can usually order it right away - and sometimes for a lower cost than you could get it on your own.
4. They Check for Recalls
It's possible for commercial trucks to face recalls. Even truck manufacturers make mistakes! It can be tough keeping up on recalls for your fleet, especially if you own models from various years or brands.
That's why service department staff will usually check for recalls related to your given commercial truck. It's a nice convenience, especially alongside the other benefits!
