You probably began your business with just one vehicle, and maybe you did all the repairs yourself. But business has been good, and now you’ve got a nice commercial fleet. When your vehicles are running, you love them, but when one needs a repair, it drives you crazy. It’s so hard to find a good shop, and the downtime is murder on your schedule. Not to mention what it does to your bottom line. You’re tempted to go out on the lot and put the truck down like a horse. There must be a better way.
There is: get your commercial fleet repairs performed on-site. That’s right, you can have all the repairs on your commercial fleet performed on your lot. When you work with Mobile Wrench, you will enjoy many benefits that can eliminate many of the problems that make commercial fleet repairs such a hassle.
Save the Cost of a Tow
When one of your commercial vehicles breaks down, the cost of getting it towed to the shop can be ridiculous. Your trucks don’t fit on just any tow truck, and the premium is steep. Plus, there’s the hookup fee and the per-mile, and it seems like they add a new fee every time you order a tow. It’s a lot, and it always seems to be getting worse. It can cost you time, too, if the specialized tow trucks are busy with other tows.
But you don’t have to worry about any of that when you have commercial fleet repairs performed on-site. Instead, a mobile diesel mechanic will come right to your lot, bringing the shop to your truck.
Get Repairs Done on Your Schedule
Another benefit of getting commercial fleet repairs performed on site is that you can get them completed on your schedule. You can make an appointment, and the mechanic will show up to get repairs completed at that time.
Of course, you can always make an appointment to get repairs done at the shop, but there’s no guarantee that your repairs will get done then, just that you can drop your truck off at that time. When the repairs are completed doesn’t depend on your schedule, it depends on the shop’s. Your repair can be delayed not just when the shop is busy, but when they have higher-priority clients waiting. Your fleet is big to you, but the shop might still look at you as small potatoes, and they will keep bumping your repairs for the customers with deeper pockets.
Minimize Downtime
When you get repairs on-site, your truck will only be down for as long as it takes to get an appointment and get repairs completed. Your truck will never be down because you’re waiting on the shop or because you’re waiting on a tow.
Keep Your Vehicles in Your Sight
You’ve poured a lot of yourself into your business. This includes all your time and effort, as well as a considerable amount of money into buying your fleet. It’s understandable that you might be more than a little protective of them. Sending them into the shop always causes you a little bit of anxiety. You know the shop doesn’t treat them with the respect that they deserve, and you have no idea how the mechanic will drive them if they are testing to locate the problem or test the fix. You try not to worry, but you still do.
Keeping your trucks on your lot can save you these anxieties. You know they’re held in a secure place, and you can keep an eye on them. Plus, if they need to be driven, you can have your drivers do it if you don’t trust just anyone to drive them.
You Can Monitor Repairs
Most mechanics are honest, but once you’ve worked with a crooked one, it’s hard to learn to trust again. When you have repairs performed on site, though, you don’t need to trust. You can monitor the repairs yourself, and you’ll know that the work you’re paying for is the work that was done, and there was no sneaky setting up other parts to break.
You’ll enjoy total peace of mind.
Convenience Means You Won’t Skip Maintenance
Routine fleet maintenance makes sense. Spend a little now to save a lot later. However, it seems to make less sense when you have to take your truck into the shop, then wait for them to perform maintenance. Your truck, which is working, will just naturally be the lowest priority. It can take days of downtime just to get Dry PM and an inspection. That starts to make maintenance a bad investment.
But with on-site maintenance and repairs, you will actually get them done on schedule with little to no downtime.
