The Characteristics of Reliable Mechanic

When you are managing an entire fleet of trucks or buses, chances are you won’t trust their maintenance with just anyone. An entire fleet of vehicles requires a reliable and responsible mechanic to conduct maintenance and repairs. If your fleet is mistreated, your business will then suffer. Here are some characteristics to look for in a reliable mechanic for your fleet.

1. A reliable mechanic should be able to answer any and all of your maintenance and repair questions. Their ability to answer shows they have experience and training while also showing their attentiveness to your vehicles. If a mechanic is unable to answer your questions, they are probably not a reliable mechanic.
2. You should be given an accurate finish date for your vehicles. Should problems occur, your mechanic should alert you in a timely manner. If your vehicle fails to be ready by the time given without any prior warning, your mechanic should be questioned.
3. If you bring a vehicle in for specific repair work, a reliable mechanic will be able to identify the problem quickly and efficiently. A mechanic that takes a day or two to identify a simple problem most likely lacks the education needed to be a reliable mechanic.
4. Your mechanic should be able to provide you with an itemized list of maintenance performed on your vehicles. They should be able to provide documented notes and maintenance history for your vehicles as well.
