The Essential Hino Truck Repairs and Service Checks

When your trucks work as hard as you do they need some regular maintenance to ensure they can hit the road with you everyday. While the winter in the GTA wasn’t as harsh as we may have anticipated, salty roads and potholes along with the regular temperature fluctuation can still take its toll! Don’t let your Hino or mid-sized truck fall behind and take your vehicle in for a service today. Taking your truck to be serviced can prevent minor issues from turning into major issues. Below we have listed a couple of great services you may want to consider as a seasonal or annual check in!

Fluids, Fluid, Fluids!

Flush and take a look at your fluid levels! From a coolant flush to windshield wiper fluid, your truck has all these vital fluids for a reason and winter can take a toll on them. Keep the road ahead of you visible by topping up windshield wiper fluid before you need it! Oil gets gritty and loses its effectiveness, keeping on top of this will prevent permanent damage to your vehicle so check your levels and change your oil with a trusted service provider.

Brake Replacement

Your truck has some weight behind it and needs a braking system that is up to the task of keeping you and other road users safe. Have your brakes inspected and when needed replace your rotors and pads. Brakes are not a “nice to have” so make sure you keep them in ship shape by scheduling a Brake Replacement Naps Series or brake service check!

Electrical Repairs

Batteries really don’t do well with temperature change so it’s a good idea to have yours checked out along with the rest of your electrical system. Make sure gauges, starters and fans are up and running. While you maybe able to check some of these systems yourself, a qualified dealership or maintenance professional has the proper diagnostic equipment to get the job done right and safely assess or repair your system!  Have these checks done as part of your full diagnostic check when you take it in.

From a full 75 point maintenance package to a simple oil change, all repairs and certifications are important. If you put your truck to work the odds are you need your fleet to be fully operational to get the job done. Scheduling regular services can prevent major repairs in the future. If you are putting off your regular maintenance because you don’t want to part with your vehicle there are options for you! You can rent a Hino while your vehicle is in for repairs so your business doesn’t have to skip a beat.
