City duty cycles are brutal: dense traffic, short runs, ELD timers. We tailor diagnostics and PM to that reality. We track the systems that city life abuses. Fewer surprises mean fewer calls in crisis.
Jump starts, air leaks, coolant loss, fuel delivery, lockouts, light failures with cones, triangles, lighting and progress pings so drivers stay safe and loads stay on promise.
DPF issues, DEF dosing faults, harness fixes, smoke testing are handled on-site with calibrated tools to pinpoint root cause and return the truck to full power.
Air brake service, chambers, slack adjusters, drums, rotors, wheel seals with torque specs in the ticket so dense-traffic braking stays tight.
Oil and filter service, fluid top-offs, multi-point inspections, DOT pre-checks tuned to stop-and-go patterns to cut unplanned downtime.
Electrical rehab, cooling fixes, reefer triage handled on the curb, at the dock, or in the yard so reefer temps stay honest.
Mobile mounting, balancing, rotations, torque checks, roadside tire replacement to avoid delays on potholes, curbs, and expressway ramps.

Stop-and-go, heat, idling, and curbs hammer brakes, electrical, cooling, and tires. We design PM plans to your mix of short hauls and port runs. Expect fluid checks, brake measurements, steering play checks, battery load tests, aftertreatment health reviews, and tire wear tracking. Reports are digital and tie to your asset IDs so you can plan parts and labor.
We equip drivers on warning signs like regen frequency, pedal feel, electrical flicker, odor, vibration. Calling early prevents costly emergencies. It keeps freight honest.
