Having a proactive tow truck maintenance plan in place can be the difference between a smoothly operating business with a profitable bottom line and an unsafe, inefficient environment with skyrocketing, unpredictable costs of operations. Working with industry leaders that you can trust to get a quality job done will help your business operations, increase employee morale and help adhere to safety requirements and best practices.

The costs of running a tow truck business are high, and maintenance is one of the largest expenditures on the tow truck fleet manager’s expense report.  Wiers Fleet Partners recommends following these three tips for your tow truck maintenance plan:

  1. Be proactive with your tow truck maintenance. Wiers Fleet Partners recommends this to its clients as one of the top ways to keep your fleet working at its safest and most optimized performance levels. The team at Wiers will work closely with you to implement smart repairs today that can prevent larger, more costly issues down the “road.” By aligning your fleet with the expert technicians at Wiers, you’ll keep your fleet in tip-top shape and extend the life of your equipment.
