Preventive maintenance is the cheapest repair you will ever buy. For fleets running Riverside heat and stop-and-go delivery routes, a disciplined PM schedule is the difference between a planned shop visit and a roadside failure on the 91. Here is the checklist we use to keep commercial vehicles in service.
Every service interval
- Engine oil and filter, checked against oil-analysis trends
- Coolant level, condition, and a pressure test before summer
- Air and cabin filters, which clog fast in dusty yards
- Brake pad, rotor, and air system inspection
- Tire pressure, tread depth, and rotation
Quarterly
Every quarter, add a deeper look at driveline, suspension, and charging systems. Riverside heat is hard on batteries and belts, so load-test the charging system and inspect serpentine and timing components before they strand a truck.
Annually
Once a year, complete a DOT inspection and a full alignment. A heavy-duty laser alignment pays for itself in tire life alone, and the DOT inspection keeps your CSA score clean. Enroll your fleet in a PM plan and we handle the scheduling so nothing slips.
Ballpark preventive maintenance service runs $300 to $2,500 depending on vehicle and scope. Call (714) 909-1844 to build a schedule for your fleet.
