Regular maintenance helps keep your truck working reliably and gives you an opportunity to address wear and developing problems before they turn into larger repairs or unexpected downtime.
MD Truck Repair provides preventative maintenance for heavy-duty trucks, trailers, fleets, and diesel equipment in the Edmonton area. From routine oil and filter changes to inspections and scheduled service, our team can help you stay on top of the maintenance your equipment needs.
Preventative Maintenance for Heavy-Duty Trucks
Heavy-duty trucks work hard, and regular maintenance is an important part of keeping them on the road.
MD Truck Repair provides routine maintenance and inspections based on the needs of your truck and how it’s being used. Whether you’re an owner-operator maintaining one truck or responsible for a commercial fleet, we’ll work with you to take care of routine service and identify issues that may need attention.
Heavy-Duty Oil & Filter Changes
Routine oil and filter changes are one of the most important parts of maintaining a diesel engine.
MD Truck Repair provides oil and filter service for heavy-duty trucks using the appropriate oil and filters for your engine and application.
Regular oil and filter changes help maintain proper lubrication and remove contaminants from the engine oil as part of your truck’s normal maintenance schedule.
Routine Truck Inspections & Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is about more than changing the oil.
Routine inspections give our technicians an opportunity to look for signs of wear, leaks, damage, or other developing issues while your truck is already in the shop.
Depending on the truck and service needed, preventative maintenance may include checking:
- Engine oil and filters
- Fluid levels and condition
- Steering and suspension
- Belts and hoses
- Batteries and charging system
- Tires and signs of unusual wear
- Brakes and related components
- Lights and electrical systems
- Leaks or visible damage
If we find something that needs attention, we’ll let you know what we see and discuss the appropriate next step.
Maintenance Based on Your Truck & Operation
There isn’t one maintenance schedule that’s right for every heavy-duty truck.
Manufacturer recommendations, mileage, engine hours, operating conditions, load, environment, and the type of work your truck performs can all affect when service is needed.
We’ll work with you to understand how your truck is being used and help make sure the appropriate maintenance gets done when it’s needed.
Preventative Maintenance for Commercial Fleets
MD Truck Repair has long-term relationships with fleet customers who rely on us for ongoing maintenance and repairs.
We understand that taking a truck out of service has to work with the realities of your operation. Our fleet customers often coordinate service with us around when their trucks will be passing through Edmonton or finishing a route in the area.
We’ll work with your schedule to plan the maintenance and repairs your trucks need while they’re here, helping you make the most of their time off the road.
Truck & Trailer Maintenance
Keeping the truck maintained is only part of the equation.
MD Truck Repair also provides repair and maintenance for commercial trailers, allowing customers to have both sides of their equipment serviced in one shop.
Preventative Maintenance for Diesel Equipment
Over-the-road trucks are our primary focus, but MD Truck Repair also provides maintenance and repair for construction and other diesel-powered equipment.
Routine fluid and filter service, inspections, and maintenance can help keep the equipment your business depends on working properly.
