Vehicle Maintenance Doesn’t Have to be Scary (Halloween Edition)
Are you looking forward to Halloween? If yes, then you should definitely plan ahead and get your vehicle ready for trick or treating. This year,
Shouldn’t your business be focused on your industry and customers instead of maintenance? We think so. Andy’s offers a proactive approach to preventive maintenance. We begin with a complimentary initial fleet inspection which we then use to create a customized maintenance program for your fleet. This will outline current deficiencies, major repairs on the horizon, recommend service intervals, and essentially moving maintenance operations from your plate, to ours.
We offer mobile delivery of our services, so your personnel aren’t taking two trucks and two employees to deliver one broken vehicle to a mechanic shop. We offer after-hours services, so your truck continues serving your customers during your hours.
We view SAFETY as a top priority for your vehicles, your employees, and other drivers on the roadway.
QUALITY: Just like you don’t want your clients wondering about your company’s quality. We don’t believe you should have to worry about your maintenance being done correctly either. We aim to fix it right the first time, every time.
We’ve found many of our customers do not have a thorough understanding of their fleet’s maintenance status. But, who would expect you to? You’re not a mechanic.
We begin our relationship with a complementary comprehensive inspection and report for each of your vehicles. We outline the major deficiencies, recommend upcoming work, and future ongoing service intervals. Our goal is to help your vehicles stay on the road AND minimize major repairs which can be more costly; (in both dollars and vehicle time spent out of your business.)
We specialize in light to medium-duty trucks, and corporate vehicles. However, we are also able to repair items like forklifts, lift gates, and other areas within your fleet.
We strive to be your one-stop shop for maintenance. From the regular oil change to an entire engine or transmission replacement, we’ve got you covered.

Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about Andy’s Auto and Truck Services.
Most of our customers have between 3 and 20 vehicles and fall within the following industries: HVAC, Landscape, Pest Control, Construction, Pool Service, Delivery Vehicles, Security, Medical, School/Government, Moving Companies, Custodial, Plumbing, and Food Service. If this isn’t you, that’s ok, contact us to learn more.
One of our favorite topics and the answer is in a few ways.
First: Your vehicles and personnel help your company generate revenue. When vehicles are in the shop or when employees are dropping off / picking up vehicles, they’re not at a job site, on route, or supporting/supervising. We want to help your company and employees focus on your business and your customers, not maintenance.
Second: When preventative maintenance isn’t done in a timely manner, or at times ignored, those small maintenance concerns grow into larger problems. Those larger problems require more dollars and more time in the shop.
Third: Preventative maintenance can help extend the life of equipment.
Fourth: with our regular service intervals, we keep fluids and tire pressures where they need to be. Reduced tire pressure can cause fuel consumption to decline.
Some companies do not offer a mobile service or require you to drop off/pick up. When using a maintenance/leasing service, they typically use the lowest bidder. Unfortunately, we’ve redone some of this work in the past. Those organizations typically keep the margins so slim for the mechanic company, that the technicians are forced to cut corners. Those service providers also rotate mechanic companies, giving you an inconsistent experience. We’ve met some companies who bounce from to mechanic to mechanic which typically leads to a reactive maintenance plan and larger/longer vehicle down time and maintenance costs.
We come from a long line of mechanics. We’ve seen over the years that quality technicians are hard to come by. But we’ve also realized that most companies aren’t willing to compensate quality technicians what they’re worth. We have such high-quality standards; we seek to hire the highest caliber of technicians. We pay those technicians top dollar, offer profit sharing, and consider them part of our Andy’s family.
