Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a heavy truck have preventive maintenance?

Often every 15,000 to 40,000 km or on a time schedule, depending on the engine and duty cycle. Follow the manufacturer and your fleet policy.

What is the difference between a truck mechanic and a heavy-duty mechanic?

Truck mechanics usually work on pickups and light trucks. Heavy-duty shops handle larger commercial trucks, air brakes and trailers, and often have bigger bays and equipment.

Do I need an annual inspection for my commercial truck?

In many provinces, yes, depending on the vehicle class. Check with your provincial transport authority for current rules, then ask the shop if they perform it.

Can heavy-duty repairs be done at my location?

Many shops offer mobile service for minor repairs, tire work and roadside issues. Larger repairs usually need a shop.
