Fleet Auto Repair For Businesses From Gilbert, Chandler, AZ

Crawford’s Auto Repair provides fleet auto repair services for businesses that are located or operate in Chandler, Gilbert, Sun Lakes and nearby surrounding areas of the East Valley.

After years of providing fleet auto repair for local businesses, we’ve realized that business owners are similar to other customers–you want affordable, quality service. Yet, a major difference is when a business wants it, the needs are compounded on multiple levels.

On one obvious level, the average household has 1-2 vehicles, but a business can have more. If you get a shop that overcharges you or tries to sell unnecessary repairs then those costs are multiplied by the number of vehicles that you have.

On another level, an individual or even a family could potentially survive without a vehicle for some period of time. But a business that provides on-site services, deliveries, or shuttle services isn’t making money when the vehicle is in the repair shop. It can’t survive without the vehicle when operations depend on that vehicle.

There are three major considerations when choosing an auto repair shop for your fleet:

1. You want the repairs to be affordable so that the repairs don’t dig too far into your operational expenses.
2. You want quality repairs for the best long-term value, and so that your drivers are safe.
3. You want the repairs to happen quickly so that you can get your fleet back on the road. As long as a vehicle is in the repair shop it’s not out in the field making money for you.

And there you have the “Cheap, Good, and Quick” trifecta that so many businesses are all too familiar with. Do you really have to pick two and eliminate one? We’ve never believed that the “Iron Triangle” as it’s often called, should be described in absolutes. It’s not “you can only pick two”. It’s a matter of finding the proper balance between the three.

By having expert technicians who are efficient and keeping the repair shop “lean” we can give you the best balance of all three for your business. We keep the pricing affordable with discounted labor rates for fleets, and we work efficiently without compromising a standard of quality. How do we do that? We don’t pay staff by commissions, and we never try to sell unnecessary repairs. This helps you save money – for every vehicle in your fleet whether your fleet is big or small.

Businesses That Often Need Fleet Auto Repair

If you work in a different industry but still have a fleet, no problem. (Let us know, we’ll even add yours to the list)

Fleet Services

Fleet auto services consist of both maintenance and repairs. Maintenance services help to avoid some repairs and catch other repairs before they become more severe. A perfect example of this is brake pad replacement. If the brake pads are allowed to wear down too far then the rotor will likely need repair and that costs more than having the brake pads replaced on time. Proper vehicle fluids maintenance is also the best way to protect the system that each fluid is associated with, and it’s so much better to maintain the fluid properly than to have to repair the system itself.

Fleet Auto Maintenance

All vehicles should have proper maintenance according to a maintenance schedule recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer. The manufacturer will often recommend a “standard” and a “severe” maintenance schedule since maintenance can change based on environmental conditions and driver habits. In the hot Arizona weather and the frequent stop-and-go traffic that we experience here in the Chandler-Gilbert area, we tend to lean more towards the severe schedule.

Here some common maintenance services:

Fleet Auto Repairs

While proper maintenance helps to avoid some repairs, the need for repairs is inevitable with all machinery, including automobiles. Some indications that repairs are needed include dashboard warning lights, low or dirty fluids detected, symptoms in vehicle performance, and/or visual signs of damage. See the dashboard warning light guide and vehicle fluids maintenance for reference on general warning signs. The warning signs for each vehicle system are also listed on the service page for each system:

“Best auto mechanic in the valley. I own a transportation company and they have been working on all my cars for years. They always tell me if something isn’t urgent or doesn’t NEED to be done right away which I always appreciate, compared to other mechanics that want to throw a laundry list of things that need fixing ASAP and a bill that matches it. Always honest and reliable. I truly trust them which is rare when shopping mechanics. Highly recommended“
