MAINTENANCE FACILITY
Maintenance Facility
We utilize state of the art equipment such as tire changers/balancers, A/C machines and vehicle lifts to maintain and service our fleet of vans and buses. Proper maintenance is the key to a safe, efficient and cost effective fleet. When done regularly and meticulously a maintenance program will extend the life of a vehicle well past 300,000 miles.
We also take pride in the cleanliness of our fleet, we have a fully automated bus wash system that reduces down time by 75% over hand washing.
Our Fleet staff of mechanics and techs bring 50+ years of combined auto experience to help care for a fleet of 60+ vehicles. Our goal is to provide a safe, reliable and clean vehicle for all of our customers. Our buses drive more than 1.5 million miles every year so expert upkeep is our commitment.
