Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I service my truck?

Follow the owner's manual. If you tow, haul heavy loads, idle a lot or drive on dirt roads, use the "severe duty" schedule, which usually means shorter intervals.

Do I need a special mechanic for a lifted truck?

Not special, but experienced. Lift kits change alignment angles, driveline angles and brake demands, so pick a shop that has done them before.

Can a shop install a trailer hitch and brake controller?

Most truck shops can. Make sure the hitch class matches what you tow and that wiring is done properly. Poor wiring is a common source of trailer light problems.

Does my work truck need a commercial inspection?

Rules depend on the vehicle weight and your province. Check with your provincial transport authority, then ask the shop whether they are licensed to do the inspection.
