Oil Left Too Long
Old oil stops protecting bearings and turbo. What a filter and oil would have prevented turns into an engine job costing many thousands.
Oil and filter service, greasing, fluid checks, and a full inspection while the truck is on the hoist. The cheapest work we do — and the work that stops the expensive jobs from happening.
From $375 for a full PM service. Final price depends on your engine's oil capacity and filter count — call with your make and we'll give you the real number before you book.
Anyone can drain oil. The value is in what we find while the truck is up in the air and the wheels are off the ground.
Every one of these starts as a cheap fix and ends as a tow bill. We see all of them, every week.

Worn linings, a burnt-out marker light, or a leak puts you out of service at the scale. A PM catches these in the bay, not at the roadside.
Dry kingpins and tie rod ends wear fast, ruin steering, and chew through tires. Greasing is minutes; a front-end rebuild is days.
Coolant that's out of spec eats liners, water pumps, and radiators from the inside. A quick test tells us long before the temp gauge does.
Water in the tanks freezes in an Ontario winter and takes your brakes with it. Draining tanks and servicing the dryer is part of every PM.
A scheduled service is a morning you chose. A breakdown is days you didn't — plus towing, a missed load, and a customer you may not get back.
PM should be quick and predictable. Four steps, no upsells.
Call with your truck and engine, and we'll give you a time that gets you back on the road the same day wherever we can.
Oil, filters, greasing, and fluids done to your engine's spec — with the right oil for the work your truck actually does.
While it's on the hoist we go over the whole truck and tell you what we found — urgent, soon, and just keep an eye on it.
We log the service and agree your next interval, so nothing quietly goes overdue between visits.

A full PM service starts at $375. What moves it above that is your engine — a big-bore unit holding 40-plus litres of oil and several filters costs more to service than a mid-range one. Call with your make and engine and we'll give you the actual figure before you book, not after the work is done.
It depends on your engine, your oil, and the work you do. Long-haul highway trucks go much further between services than a local truck doing stop-and-go city runs or heavy hauling. Bring us your engine make and your typical week and we'll set an interval that suits the truck — not a generic number off a poster.
Call ahead and we'll get you in as quickly as we can. PM work is scheduled around bigger repair jobs, so a quick call means you're not sitting in the yard waiting for a bay to open up.
While the truck is on the hoist we go over brakes, tires, air system, steering and suspension, lights, belts, hoses, and look for leaks. You get told what we found — what needs doing now, what can wait, and what to keep an eye on. No surprise add-ons without your say-so.
Yes. We keep the service records for work we do, which is what you want on hand for CVOR and for an MTO audit. If you run multiple trucks, we can set up a maintenance schedule per unit so nothing quietly goes overdue.
Yes. We're a licensed MTO Safety Inspection Station, so if your annual is coming due we can do the PM and the safety in the same visit and save you a second trip.
Tell us the truck, the engine, and roughly how many kilometres you run in a week. We'll tell you what your interval should be and what the service will cost.
