How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips
Schedule Regular Maintenance to Prevent Major Repairs:
Preventative maintenance is key to saving money long-term. By having your truck serviced regularly, you can catch small issues before they turn into expensive problems. Regular oil changes, brake checks, and tire inspections can save you a lot in the future.
Fix Problems Early:
Don't wait until the last minute! If you notice any unusual noises, warning lights, or performance issues, bring your vehicle in for inspection right away. Addressing small problems early can prevent costly breakdowns or more complex repairs down the road.
Bundle Services for Discounts:
We offer discounts when you book multiple services at once. If you need an oil change, brake check, and suspension inspection, booking them all together can help you save on labor costs. Contact us to ask about our fleet packages or bundling options!
What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?
Before providing an accurate quote, we need to know the following:
The type of truck or trailer (make, model, and year and vin number of truck )
A detailed description of the problem or the service requested (e.g., engine issue, brake repair, full maintenance)
The location of the vehicle (if roadside assistance is needed)
Any previous repair history or special mechanical issues we should be aware of
This information helps us estimate labor, parts, travel time, and ensure we offer the best possible price and service.
Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?
