Preventative
Maintenance Pays
It
makes no difference if you own a single
work vehicle or a fleet of several
trucks; you cannot afford to have broken
down vehicles. If the units are not
running, you are not making any money
with them. At HEFR, we can help.
Some of the vehicles we service are:
Ford, Freightliner, GMC,
International, Isuzu, Kenworth,
Peterbilt, and Sterling. We can service
engines made by Caterpillar, Cummins,
Detroit, and International.
Our goal is to keep your vehicles
moving! We understand both the Cost per
Mile, and Down Time. We use quality
parts to reduce both the Cost per Mile
and Down Time. We schedule our service
times, so when you bring in a truck, we
can get right to work on it. We get you
in and out, no sitting in a line
waiting. We fix the small problems
before they become major issues.
Speaking of services, we have a complete
check list of things that are
inspected at each service. Our goal is
that your truck would pass the Federal
Annual Inspection after each service. If
it will not, you will be notified of
what needs to be performed.
We work very hard to keep your true cost
per mile as low as possible. True cost
per mile is more than just the repair
bill total. True cost per mile includes
lost time, payroll for driver (not
driving the truck), tow bills, small
repairs not caught that are now large
repairs, and possible lost customers
when deliveries are not on time.
We specialize in preventative
maintenance. We practice the saying,
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure." We get reports back, from
several of our fleet customers, that the
units we service and maintain on a
regular basis have the lowest cost per
mile, the least amount of break downs,
and the highest profit per mile. Let us
implement one of our preventative
maintenance programs for your vehicles
and start saving you money.

KEEPING YOUR DIESEL
RUNNING AT IT'S PEAK
Coolant testing is very important on a
diesel engine. Each time we service a
vehicle we check the coolant freeze
point, PH, and nitrates. We have the
coolants that diesel engines require,
including the Cat spec EC-1 extended
life coolant.
In the February 2007 issue of Fleet
Maintenance magazine, Sarkis Aroyan,
sales manager for the international
division of Penray was quoted. “Studies
show that 40 percent of diesel engine
downtime can be traced to the coolant.
Really there are a lot of people out
there who neglect the coolant.”
Diesel engines require special oil and
oil change intervals. We stock Delo 400,
Shell Rotella, and BG synthetic diesel
oil. Oil change interval recommendations
are made depending on the manufactures
requirements and vehicle usage.
