A Mobile Truck Repair Service Can Get Your Trucks Back On The Road Faster
Posted on: 14 January 2016
Repairing one of your trucks that breaks down has a long cycle time under a traditional repair approach. You have to dispatch a tow truck, bring the truck to your repair center, diagnose the problem, and then repair it. How much time could you save if you were able to repair your truck closer to, or even at the spot where, the problem occurred? A mobile repair company can help you reduce the amount of time that your trucks are off the road.
What is Mobile Repair?
Mobile repair services can be thought of in a couple of ways. The first way is that an actual, mobile technician is sent to the broken down truck with tools and parts that could be used to repair the problem. This works well if the problem is something that can be addressed outside of a repair shop.
The second approach is to manage the repair as close to the breakdown as possible. A mobile service can dispatch a tow truck to bring the vehicle into the nearest repair shop so that the work can be completed and the truck put back on the road losing a minimal amount of time.
How Do You Move to Mobile Repair?
Transitioning to a mobile repair is more than just staffing up people across the country. Trying to build out your own, mobile repair service may not even be feasible or cost effective. Mobile repair involves treating the truck more like a patient in triage. Get it into the shop, fix it as fast as possible, and get it back on the road again.
Establishing that type of efficiency may be best accomplished by hiring a mobile service company to do it for you. An established service already knows how to negotiate the best rates for repair centers in each geography, has trucks or contract trucks in place to handle your emergency calls, and is staffed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What Benefits Could You See?
Look at how much it costs for you to have a truck, or multiple trucks, down for maintenance or repairs. How much is it worth to have those trucks back on the road sooner delivering their products? This is just one of the benefits from using a mobile service. Others include:
- Use of technology to provider faster roadside assistance. A technician can go out to the disabled truck with a full history of the repair and maintenance that has been performed on that vehicle
- Improved time to arrive at and repair or tow the vehicle. With GPS capabilities integrated into operations, technicians can be directed to a location much faster
- Use of computer codes to diagnose problems. Computer codes can be used to diagnose problems faster and make sure technicians arrive with the correct parts
Mobile repair services like C L Enterprises can do a lot to increase the amount of time that your trucks are on the road. Outsourcing your mobile repair work can save you the cost of trying to establish one yourself.
