Do yourself a favor – buy the right replacement part and protect your assets!

Does your fleet view the maintenance department as a cost or an opportunity center?

We understand that you are under more pressure than ever before to reduce your acquisition costs so your fleet can stay competitive.

Many trucking companies believe they can reduce their total cost of ownership by sourcing the least expensive replacement parts when servicing their vehicles. What they might not realize is the compounded effect of such choices will certainly increase the overall cost of ownership by the end of the ownership cycle. Cutting costs when procuring replacement parts will ultimately result in multiple failures over time, leading to multiple unscheduled repairs.

It is essential to install quality parts on the vehicle, so it will continue to achieve peak performance, allowing its lifespan to be extended, maximizing its safety and preventing downtime.

Vehicle Maintenance – Quality Parts boosting Uptime

How about looking at things from an uptime perspective? Shouldn’t your assets be on the road, doing what they are supposed to, making you money non-stop? Your decision-making process may not be helping you achieve that.

Quality parts not only contribute to the efficiency of the vehicle but also play a significant role in its overall performance and longevity. High quality parts are designed with advanced engineering and manufactured with superior raw materials, which ensure performance specifications and rigorous safety standards are met.

Fleets should view the maintenance department as an opportunity center and make smart decisions by procuring replacement parts that will improve fleet profitability.

Sourcing the cheapest part does not yield the best value because it increases the chances of repeating downtime due to unscheduled repairs. Maintenance teams can indirectly make fleets money by installing quality parts that will limit unscheduled repairs and drive uptime.

Quality parts will save you money and time, keeping you out of the shop and on the road for longer, delivering the business promises you made to your customers.
