Most common questions

What types of commercial vehicles do you work on?

Trailers, box trucks, delivery fleets and construction equipment are all normal work, along with work trucks and vans. Tell us what you run and we will confirm coverage across the mix.

Do you service trailers?

Yes. Trailer tires are part of commercial and fleet service, including the ones that get neglected because the trailer sits between runs and nobody checks it until it fails.

Do you support DOT compliance?

Yes, we provide DOT compliance support as part of commercial and fleet service. Tire condition is one of the things that puts a vehicle out of service, so keeping it right is both a safety matter and a compliance one.

How does tire condition affect a DOT inspection?

Tires are a common reason a commercial vehicle gets flagged, because tread depth, sidewall damage and inflation are all visible and checkable. Preventative service catches those before an inspection does.

What is preventative tire maintenance?

It is servicing tires on a schedule rather than after a failure. Regular checks on inflation, tread and wear patterns catch the tire that is going to fail next month while the vehicle is already parked in your yard.

Can you service vehicles while our drivers are off shift?

That is usually the ideal window, because the vehicles are stationary and nobody is waiting on them. Tell us when your yard is quiet and we will build the schedule around it.

Do you keep records of what was done to each vehicle?

Tell us what your operation needs to see. Tracking what was serviced on which unit is exactly the kind of visibility that makes a fleet programme worth running, and we will confirm the reporting that fits how you work.

How do I start a fleet account?

Send us your vehicle count, the types of vehicles you run and where they are based. From there we can talk through the service cadence and what your operation actually needs.

How many vehicles do we need to be a fleet customer?

There is no magic number. If you are running enough vehicles that tires have become something you manage rather than something you react to, fleet service is the right fit. Tell us what you run and we will be straight with you.

Do you service small business fleets?

Yes. A handful of work trucks or vans still benefits from scheduled service and a single number to call when one goes down, and small operations feel a vehicle being off the road harder than large ones do.

Can you handle multiple locations?

Tell us where your vehicles are based across the Northwest Houston, Texas area and we will confirm coverage. Servicing more than one yard is a scheduling question rather than an obstacle.

Do you stock tires for commercial vehicle sizes?

Send us the sizes you run across the fleet. Knowing your standard sizes in advance is what lets us arrive with the right tires instead of scheduling a second trip.
