Air brake service, chambers, slack adjusters, drums, rotors, wheel seals with torque specs in the ticket so city stops stay controlled.
On-site PM days with inspection reports and fluid service tuned to urban stress to cut unplanned downtime.
Electrical rehab, cooling fixes, reefer triage handled wherever the unit sits so reefer temps stay honest.

Stop-and-go, heat, idling, and curbs hammer brakes, electrical, cooling, and tires. We design PM plans to your exact routes. Expect fluid checks, brake measurements, steering play checks, battery load tests, aftertreatment health reviews, and tire wear tracking. Reports are digital and attach by VIN so budgeting is simple.
We equip drivers on symptoms like regen frequency, pedal feel, electrical flicker, odor, vibration. Calling early prevents costly emergencies. It keeps freight honest.

We inspect pins, bushings, torque rods, suspension hardware, driveline angles, and u-joints to stop vibration from turning into breakdown.

Electrical and cooling systems suffer in traffic. We load-test batteries, clean terminals, validate grounds, and check voltage drop under accessory load. We validate that cooling holds under stress. This prevents derates, protects aftertreatment, and keeps engines healthy.
