Does your business employ a fleet of vehicles? If so, then you understand how important it is to maintain your fleet. At General Automotive Service Center, we’ve been helping people maintain their vehicles for years, both commercial and residential. We wanted to take some time today to go over some tips you can employ to help maintain your commercial truck fleet.

Preventive Maintenance Is Invaluable

Nothing will extend your fleet’s life more than some preventive maintenance. Performing regular oil changes, tire rotations, and general safety inspections can keep your commercial vehicles rolling for years to come. Have your fleet of commercial vehicles maintained by a professional Maryland commercial mechanic.

Your employees will be driving around in your vehicles, and it’s so important that you outline a set of rules. You could opt to have GPS units, as well as speed monitoring units, installed in your vehicles. These will help you monitor their usage and ensure your employees are using them safely and efficiently. We recommend you come up with a list of driving procedures you expect your employees to follow, and give it to them.

Over time, no matter how well you maintain your fleet, vehicles will break down and will need to be replaced. Some business owners try to put off replacing their vehicles as long as possible, and while we certainly recommend getting every bit of use you can out of your existing fleet, putting off replacement can lead to a build up of non-functioning vehicles, and trying to replace a bunch of vehicles all at once can be far too costly.

Whether you’re having troubles with some of your vehicles or looking to maintain your whole fleet, we’re here for you. At General Automotive, we’ve worked to maintain so many commercial vehicles over the years, and we hope we can do so for many more years. If you’re looking for some assistance.
