Built for fleets of one to fifty
A fleet account is a billing and scheduling setup, not a contract. You set an approval limit, we put your PO on every invoice, and a PM and inspection due list lands in your inbox on the first of the month.
Typical turnaround
- 1–2 HRS Annual DOT inspection Per unit, when it passes
- 2–4 HRS PM-A service Class 8, parts on hand
- 1–2 DAYS DPF thermal clean Often same day with an exchange filter
- 1–3 DAYS Injector set Depends on parts
Typical ranges, not promises. Parts and what we find inside decide the real number, and you get an update at every checkpoint.
Our rates are on the wall
And on this website. The number you read here is the number on the invoice.
- Rates on the wall Our labour rates, diagnostic fee and inspection prices are posted on this site and in the shop. The number you see is the number on the invoice.
- Estimate before the wrench Nothing past the diagnostic gets done without your approval. You get a written estimate, by text or email, with parts and labour split out.
- Straight answers on time We give you a typical range and then update you at every checkpoint. If a part is stuck in transit, you hear it from us before you have to ask.

The due list alone was worth switching
We used to find out a truck was overdue when the driver complained. Now the list shows up the first of the month and Jenna books the yard visits. Invoices carry our PO numbers every time.

Told me it was a sensor, not a turbo
Another shop quoted me a turbo over the phone. Ray scanned it, tested boost and found a cracked charge air hose and a bad sensor. Under $500 and I was rolling the same evening.

Fixed the hard start before the first freeze
Long crank every cold morning. Luis tested the glow plugs and batteries, replaced what was bad and showed me the readings. Price matched the estimate to the dollar.

Truck down or planning ahead?
Send the details and Carla writes back with a price range and the next open bay, usually within one business hour while the shop is open. If the truck is stuck on the road right now, call the roadside line instead.
