HEAVY-DUTY
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Plan Ahead
CHECK WEAR ITEMS BEFORE THEY INTERRUPT THE ROUTE
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FOR COMMERCIAL TRUCKS, SEMIS AND BUSES
Heavy-duty commercial vehicles operate under demanding loads, mileage and working conditions. Preventative maintenance helps identify developing wear before it results in an unexpected repair or roadside interruption.
Bo’s Garage provides scheduled maintenance and vehicle-system inspections for Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks, semis and select charter or tour buses.
Maintenance requirements vary by vehicle, engine, mileage, operating hours and duty cycle. Call with your equipment information and service history to discuss what is due.

Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
WEAR OFTEN BEGINS BEFORE A WARNING LIGHT APPEARS
CONSISTENT INSPECTIONS HELP FIND DEVELOPING PROBLEMS EARLIER
Belts, hoses, fluids, electrical connections and other service items gradually deteriorate through heat, vibration, mileage and normal operation.
A scheduled maintenance visit creates an opportunity to check these areas before a worn component affects another vehicle system.
The appropriate schedule should reflect manufacturer guidance as well as the vehicle’s actual workload and operating environment.
MAINTENANCE CHECKS MAY INCLUDE
Our Process
MAINTENANCE BUILT AROUND THE VEHICLE

Approved scheduled service and maintenance items are completed.
REVIEW FUTURE NEEDS

Maintenance Based on Duty Cycle
ONE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE DOES NOT FIT EVERY TRUCK
ROUTE, LOAD, IDLE HOURS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT ALL MATTER
A truck that experiences heavy loads, long idle periods, frequent stops or severe operating conditions may require more frequent service.
Maintenance decisions should consider manufacturer recommendations, mileage, engine hours, prior service and how the equipment is used.
Call with your vehicle information and maintenance history so we can discuss the appropriate service.
