Get Nationwide Discounts on Parts and Labor
with TEL Truck Maintenance
THE PROBLEM TRANSPORTATION BUSINESSES FACE – Higher than expected repair bills.
Transportation businesses often approve services they didn’t need and pay premium prices for parts and labor.
- Only pay for the services you need
- Parts billed at a standard price
- Labor rates billed at a standard price
- No surprises on your repair bills
For most transportation businesses, the reality is that you probably don’t spend much time scrutinizing estimates from repair shops. It’s easier to just approve the estimate, get the work done, pay the bill, and move on. But paying for services sooner than they are needed or not needed at all drives up operating costs of the business and cuts into profits.
TEL Truck Maintenance Specialists review estimates and prevent unnecessary repairs.
Reviewing estimates must be done by someone who knows exactly what to look for, understands warranty qualifications, and has a complete understanding of nationwide pricing expectations on parts and labor. TEL Truck Maintenance utilizes years of data we’ve collected to provide specialized training for our maintenance specialists. We ensure that truck maintenance costs are always controlled through proactive management.
When you work with TEL Truck Maintenance, you’ll get a detailed review of every estimate, plus you’ll get nationwide parts discounts and negotiated labor rates to save money and protect profits.
