When a truck in your fleet breaks down unexpectedly, every second counts. Our 24/7 emergency mobile service is on call day and night to handle urgent fleet repair at your location. We dispatch experienced technicians with fully equipped service trucks to assist on-site, whether your driver is stranded on a highway shoulder or in your own facility’s yard.
Rapid response: We pride ourselves on fast dispatch and efficient repairs. With priority response times for our fleet account clients, we strive to get to your disabled vehicle as quickly as possible. On average, mobile diesel repairs eliminate the need for towing and cut down wait times significantly. Instead of losing hours transporting a truck to a distant shop, our team brings the shop to you.
Extensive on-site repair capabilities: Our emergency repair units are stocked with professional tools, diagnostic equipment, and common parts, allowing us to tackle a wide range of issues on the spot. From engine troubles and dead batteries to brake failures or electrical problems, our mobile mechanics will troubleshoot and fix the problem wherever the truck sits. This technology-enabled fleet repair approach (using computerized diagnostics and real-time communication) means many issues can be resolved without a second trip.
Minimal downtime: Unplanned breakdowns can wreak havoc on delivery schedules and revenue. Unified Truck Services focuses on how to reduce fleet downtime in every emergency call. By arriving quickly and repairing efficiently, we turn potential multi-day breakdown ordeals into just a few hours of delay. Keeping your trucks rolling not only avoids expensive towing fees, but also prevents missed shipments and unhappy customers. In fact, industry studies estimate that downtime can cost fleets $448 to $760 per vehicle per day – our job is to help you avoid those losses.
No matter when or where trouble strikes, our emergency fleet repair services get your vehicles back on the road safely. It’s like having a dedicated rescue team for your fleet, ready at a moment’s notice.
Proactive maintenance is the key to a reliable fleet. Unified Truck Services makes it easy by performing on-site fleet maintenance for all your medium- and heavy-duty trucks – both scheduled preventive services and unscheduled repairs or inspections. We work around your operations to service vehicles at your location so you can avoid the hassles of shuttling trucks to an off-site shop.
Preventive maintenance on your schedule: Our mobile truck repair team will partner with you to set up routine maintenance plans (oil changes, filter replacements, brake inspections, tune-ups, etc.) that fit your timetable. We can schedule maintenance during off-hours or downtime – even overnight or on weekends – so your trucks are ready to work when you need them. By handling PMs on-site, we help maximize fleet uptime: your vehicles spend less time sitting in a shop and more time out earning revenue.
Unscheduled repairs without the wait: If an issue is discovered during daily inspections or a driver notes a problem, there’s no need to delay operations waiting for a shop appointment. Our onsite mobile service can address unplanned repairs quickly. Whether it’s replacing a failing alternator, fixing an air brake leak, or swapping out worn tires, we come to where the truck is located and fix it promptly. This flexibility means small problems get resolved before they escalate, avoiding roadside breakdowns later.
Expert care for medium & heavy-duty trucks: We specialize in medium- and heavy-duty fleet services, so our technicians are intimately familiar with the maintenance needs of Class 4–8 commercial vehicles. From semi-trucks and box trucks to vocational vehicles, we have the know-how to keep them in peak shape. Our service vehicles carry commercial-grade lifts, compressors, and tools to handle big rigs just as effectively as in a shop bay.
With scheduled and unscheduled maintenance handled right at your facility or job site, you’ll see smoother operations and fewer surprises. We take a prevention over reaction approach – tackling maintenance needs early so you can avoid costly failures and unplanned downtime down the road.
Staying compliant with all regulations is essential for keeping your fleet on the road. Unified Truck Services provides comprehensive support for BIT inspections and DOT compliance, handled conveniently at your location. We help you navigate the required inspections and paperwork so you can avoid fines and keep your safety ratings high.
Biennial Inspection of Terminals (BIT): For California-based fleets, we perform BIT inspections as mandated by the CHP’s BIT program. Our qualified inspectors will thoroughly examine your vehicles and maintenance records to ensure they meet California’s strict safety standards. This includes checking brakes, tires, lighting, suspension, and other critical components, as well as reviewing preventive maintenance documentation. By catching any issues ahead of time, we help you pass official BIT audits with flying colors. Our mobile BIT inspection service means we come to your terminal or yard, eliminating the hassle of moving trucks to an inspection site.
DOT annual inspections: We also conduct DOT inspections required by federal law for commercial trucks. Our technicians perform the official annual DOT inspection checklist on each vehicle – covering brakes, steering, exhaust, fuel systems, frame integrity, and more – to certify that your trucks meet all FMCSA safety requirements. You receive the documentation and decals needed to prove compliance. Because we do this on-site, your trucks don’t need to line up at a testing center; we’ll inspect your whole fleet right in your lot.
Emissions and other compliance services: Keeping up with regulations doesn’t stop at BIT and DOT. We assist with related compliance needs like smoke opacity testing (ensuring your diesel emissions meet standards), electronic DVIR (driver vehicle inspection report) record management, and scheduled safety checks every 90 days as required. Unified’s team stays updated on the latest state and federal regulations, so we can advise you on maintaining compliance year-round.
Less downtime, more peace of mind: Our DOT and BIT inspection support not only keeps you legal, it also reduces downtime by identifying potential problems early. We’ll alert you to any maintenance or repairs needed to pass inspection, and can fix them on the spot in many cases. The result is safer trucks, lower risk of violations, and confidence that your fleet is road-ready at all times. With our experts handling the paperwork and inspections, you can focus on running your business.
No matter what powers your fleet, Unified Truck Services has the expertise to maintain it. Our team includes ASE-certified diesel and gasoline technicians, as well as specialists trained in servicing electric vehicles (EVs). As fleet technology evolves, we ensure our techs are up-to-date with the latest skills and certifications to repair diesel, gas, and EV fleet units efficiently and safely.
Diesel engine specialists: We have decades of experience diagnosing and repairing diesel engines – the workhorses of most heavy-duty fleets. Our mobile diesel mechanics can handle everything from fuel system issues and turbocharger problems to aftertreatment (DPF/DEF) systems and check engine light diagnostics. We use dealer-level scan tools to interface with engine control modules, performing advanced diagnostics to pinpoint issues quickly.
Gasoline truck experts: Many medium-duty fleets include gas-powered trucks or vans. Our technicians are equally adept with gasoline engines, ignition systems, and emissions controls. We’ll keep your gas fleet vehicles running smoothly, with services like spark plug replacements, fuel injector cleaning, and engine tune-ups handled on-site.
EV maintenance capabilities: Electric commercial vehicles are becoming more common in California, and Unified Truck Services is ready to support your EV fleet. Our EV-trained technicians can perform routine checks on high-voltage batteries, electric drivetrains, and charging systems. We handle tasks like battery state-of-health diagnostics, coolant system service for battery thermal management, brake system service (critical on EVs due to regenerative braking), and ensuring all electrical components are in safe working order. We follow proper safety protocols when working with high-voltage systems, giving you peace of mind that your advanced EV assets are in capable hands.
One team for all vehicle types: By offering multi-fuel expertise, we save you the trouble of coordinating separate service providers for different trucks. You get a single point of contact for your entire mixed fleet. Whether your unit runs on diesel, gas, or electrons, we’ll apply the same attention to detail and quality workmanship to keep it performing its best. Our fleet technicians continuously train on new technologies, so as you adopt alternative fuels or new truck models, we have the knowledge to maintain them. This unified approach ensures consistent service standards across your fleet.
Maximizing uptime isn’t just about reacting to problems – it requires a proactive strategy. Our fleet uptime management program leverages technology-enabled maintenance and data-driven insights to keep your vehicles on the road and out of the shop. We combine meticulous planning with cutting-edge diagnostics to detect issues early and fine-tune your maintenance schedule for optimum performance.
Proactive maintenance planning: We’ll work with you to develop a maintenance calendar that optimizes each vehicle’s service intervals. Using telematics data and our own service records, we identify the ideal times for preventive maintenance to minimize disruption. We can track metrics like engine hours, mileage, and component wear rates to schedule service exactly when needed – preventing breakdowns without performing unnecessary early maintenance. This data-guided approach extends vehicle life and supports fleet cost optimization by avoiding both under- and over-maintaining assets.
Advanced diagnostics: Our mobile units come equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic computers and software. This allows us to plug into your trucks’ onboard systems to pull fault codes and real-time sensor data on the spot. By accessing these real-time insights into vehicle health, our technicians can often pinpoint emerging problems (like a deteriorating sensor or intermittent connection) before they lead to a failure. We also perform remote diagnostics support for some issues – guiding drivers over the phone to check certain readings, which can sometimes get a truck running again without a site visit.
Continuous fleet monitoring: For our fleet account clients, we maintain detailed records of every service, repair, and inspection for each vehicle. Over time, this history helps us identify trends – for example, if a particular truck is experiencing frequent battery issues or if brake wear is accelerating on one route. We use these insights to adjust your maintenance plan or recommend component upgrades. Think of it as a partnership focused on maximizing fleet uptime: we’re constantly looking for ways to refine your fleet’s maintenance strategy so you get the most working hours from every truck. Predictive maintenance techniques, such as oil analysis or tire tread depth tracking, can further boost uptime by addressing wear-and-tear before it causes unplanned downtime.
With Unified Truck Services managing your fleet’s maintenance needs, you gain greater control over your operations. Fewer breakdowns, more predictable truck availability, and a smarter maintenance budget – it all adds up to a more efficient fleet and business.
We value long-term partnerships. That’s why we offer fleet account programs for businesses with multiple trucks that need regular service. Our contract-based fleet plans are tailored to your operations and come with built-in perks that deliver both short-term and long-term savings.
Customized maintenance contracts: We can develop a service contract that covers your fleet’s routine maintenance and expected repairs over a period of time (monthly, quarterly, or annually). This ensures your maintenance is consistent and budgeted. You’ll have predictable costs and scheduling, rather than facing surprise repair bills. Contract clients can often bundle services (like quarterly PMs, inspections, and priority emergency calls) into one comprehensive plan for simplified fleet care.
Volume discounts: Managing a larger fleet should come with cost advantages. Unified Truck Services provides volume discounts on labor and parts for our fleet account customers, based on the size of your fleet and service frequency. The more vehicles you have under our care, the lower your per-unit maintenance cost. This bulk pricing approach helps drive down your overall fleet maintenance expenses without sacrificing quality.
Priority response times: When you’re a fleet account client, you move to the front of the line. We guarantee accelerated response for emergency repairs and flexible scheduling for maintenance to minimize any impact on your operations. For example, if two calls come in at once, a fleet partner’s call is addressed first. Your drivers and dispatchers will appreciate the prompt support, especially during critical situations.
Dedicated account management: Fleet clients receive a dedicated point of contact at Unified Truck Services who understands your business and fleet inside-out. This representative will coordinate all your services, monitor performance metrics, and adjust the maintenance plan as needed. Having an account manager means you always have an advocate to ensure you’re getting the most value and that any concerns are addressed quickly.
Long-term cost savings: Between discounted pricing, reduced downtime, and extended vehicle lifespans, our fleet account program is designed for fleet cost optimization. Many of our customers find that partnering with us as their sole fleet maintenance provider pays for itself through fewer disruptions and more efficient operations. You’ll also simplify administration – one consolidated maintenance invoice and service report, rather than juggling multiple service vendors.
In short, we treat your fleet like it’s our own. Our goal is to build a lasting relationship that helps your business succeed by keeping your trucks running reliably at the best possible cost.
