šŸˆ ARE YOU READY FOR FOOTBALL SEASON?

We are—and so is this truck.

This week, an independent contractor stopped by WilsonTech Services to get his Freightliner ready for the road. His assignment this season? Transporting Cal Football’s equipment across the country.

It’s a great reminder that long before the lights come on and the first whistle blows, there’s an entire operation working behind the scenes to make game day possible.

Equipment has to be packed.
Schedules have to be met.
Thousands of miles have to be covered.

And the truck carrying it all has to be ready to perform.

That’s where we come in.

Whether a vehicle is hauling equipment for a college football program, carrying materials to a jobsite, making deliveries throughout Northern California, or supporting a government operation, our responsibility is the same:

Keep the vehicles our customers depend on safe, reliable, and ready for the mission ahead.

For this truck, football season means a lot of miles and very little room for unexpected downtime. Getting ahead of maintenance and repairs before those miles begin is always better than dealing with a breakdown somewhere along the way.

We’re proud to play a small part in keeping this operation moving.

Safe travels this season—and Go Bears! šŸ»šŸˆ

PASSING THE TEST DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN YOU’RE COMPLIANT.

California’s Clean Truck Check is in effect, and for fleet operators, there’s more to compliance than simply getting an emissions test.

A vehicle can pass its emissions test and still have a compliance problem.

Fleet owners need to make sure their vehicles are:
āœ… Properly reported in CTC-VIS
āœ… Current on annual compliance fees
āœ… Tested by the assigned deadline
āœ… Showing the correct VIN and vehicle information
āœ… Clear of outstanding compliance or enforcement issues

And there’s another issue we regularly see with modern trucks:

The vehicle has to be ready to test.

For OBD-equipped vehicles, simply clearing a check-engine light or disconnecting a battery before testing can create another problem.

Readiness monitors may not have completed, meaning the vehicle may need additional operation—and potentially further diagnosis—before a passing compliance result can be submitted.

That's why we believe Clean Truck Check should be treated as a compliance process, not just an emissions test.

At WilsonTech Services, we can help fleets work through that process:
šŸ”§ Review upcoming compliance deadlines
šŸ”§ Verify vehicle and VIN information
šŸ”§ Check OBD readiness before testing
šŸ”§ Diagnose check-engine lights and aftertreatment faults
šŸ”§ Complete necessary repairs
šŸ”§ Perform the required compliance test
šŸ”§ Help verify the vehicle is showing compliant

And fleet operators should start thinking beyond today's requirements.

Beginning in 2027, OBD-equipped vehicles are scheduled to move from semiannual to quarterly testing.

For a fleet with 20 affected trucks, that's potentially moving from roughly 40 compliance tests per year to 80.

The fleets that build compliance into their preventative-maintenance schedules now will be much better positioned when testing frequency increases.

Our goal isn't simply to perform your test. It's to help keep your fleet compliant, registered, and on the road.

If you're unsure when your vehicles are due—or whether they're actually ready to test—contact WilsonTech Services and we'll help you get ahead of it.

BRAKE SAFETY WEEK IS UNDERWAY. IS YOUR FLEET READY?

CVSA Brake Safety Week is happening now, August 23–29, with commercial vehicle inspectors across North America placing additional attention on brake systems.

This year's special focus: brake drums and rotors.

For fleet operators, this isn't just a compliance issue. It's an uptime issue.

A brake defect discovered during preventative maintenance can be scheduled, repaired, documented, and returned to service.

A brake defect discovered during a roadside inspection can mean an out-of-service vehicle, an interrupted route, a missed job, emergency repairs, and a driver waiting while the problem gets resolved.

Inspectors will be looking closely at brake-system condition, including:
šŸ”§ Cracked, broken, or excessively worn drums and rotors
šŸ”§ Worn, damaged, missing, or contaminated pads and linings
šŸ”§ Air leaks and damaged hoses or tubing
šŸ”§ Brake adjustment and excessive pushrod travel
šŸ”§ Brake chambers and other loose, damaged, or nonfunctioning components
šŸ”§ ABS faults and warning indicators
šŸ”§ Tractor-protection and other critical brake-system functions

And the risk is very real. During CVSA's unannounced Brake Safety Day earlier this year, 574 of 4,021 commercial vehicles inspected—14.3%—were restricted from travel because of brake-related out-of-service violations.

At WilsonTech Services, we believe the best roadside inspection is the one your fleet is already prepared for.

Our team can inspect your commercial brake systems, identify deficiencies before they become roadside problems, complete necessary repairs, and help keep your maintenance documentation current.

Don't wait for an inspector to tell you there's a problem.

If your commercial vehicles haven't had their brake systems inspected recently, Brake Safety Week is a good reason to get ahead of it.

WilsonTech has limited availability this week for commercial brake inspections.

Call us today to schedule a Brake Enforcement Readiness Inspection and keep your fleet safe, compliant, and on the road.

105°F This Week. Is Your Fleet Ready?

Extreme heat doesn't just affect drivers—it puts every vehicle in your fleet under additional stress.

When temperatures climb into the triple digits, some of the most common failures we see include:
šŸ”„ Cooling systems pushed to their limits
šŸ”‹ Batteries weakened by excessive heat
šŸ›ž Tire pressure fluctuations and accelerated wear
ā„ļø Air conditioning systems working overtime
šŸ”§ Belts and hoses that crack, soften, or fail under high temperatures

A breakdown doesn't just mean a repair bill.

It means missed appointments, delayed deliveries, lost productivity, and an asset that's no longer generating revenue.

The good news?

Many of these failures can be prevented with routine inspections and preventative maintenance before they become expensive roadside problems.

At WilsonTech Fleet Services, we help commercial fleets stay ahead of unexpected downtime by identifying issues early and keeping vehicles operating reliably—even during Sacramento's hottest weeks.

As temperatures rise this week, take a few extra minutes to check your fleet's cooling systems, tires, batteries, and fluid levels.

Your future self—and your drivers—will thank you.
Stay safe and stay cool.

Not every busy week in the shop comes with a dramatic repair story—and that's exactly how we like it.

Right now, WilsonTech is packed.

Preventive maintenance. Inspections. Minor diagnostics. Routine repairs. Vehicles coming in, getting serviced, and getting back to work.

For a fleet operator, that's what a successful maintenance program should look like.

The goal isn't to wait until a transmission fails, an engine goes down, or an emissions problem takes a vehicle out of service. It's to build a maintenance relationship that catches problems early, keeps repairs manageable, and minimizes the amount of time an asset spends sitting in a shop instead of earning money in the field.

And as our customer base continues to grow, so does the diversity of the fleets we support.

We're seeing everything from service vans and pickups to medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks moving through the shop—and we're continuing to expand the work we're performing for public-sector fleets as an approved California Department of General Services vendor.

But growth only matters if we can maintain the level of service our customers depend on.

A packed shop isn't an excuse for longer turnaround times. It's a reason to build better systems.

Our team has been moving vehicles through the shop at some of the fastest turnaround times we've achieved, while maintaining the diagnostic and repair standards we expect on every vehicle that comes through our doors.

Because for our customers, a vehicle in our shop isn't just another repair order.

It's a technician who can't reach a jobsite.
A delivery that can't be made.
A crew that can't get to work.
A public-service vehicle that isn't available when it's needed.

Fleet maintenance isn't ultimately about fixing vehicles. It's about keeping organizations moving.

That's the business we're in.

Modern vehicles have become more complex—and the cost of getting the diagnosis wrong has never been higher.

What looks like a straightforward transmission repair can be anything but.
On this vehicle, accessing and replacing the transmission requires removing the entire powertrain assembly—including the engine, transmission, and subframe—from the vehicle. This is a major repair that requires the right equipment, technical knowledge, and experienced technicians to complete correctly.

But the most important work happens before the first bolt is removed: accurate diagnosis.

When a repair requires this level of disassembly, there is very little room for guesswork. Misdiagnosing the original problem can mean hours of unnecessary labor, thousands of dollars in avoidable costs, and a customer still dealing with the same issue after the vehicle is put back together.
At WilsonTech Services, our philosophy is simple: diagnose first. Repair second.

Our ASE-certified technicians and Master ASE technician have the diagnostic capabilities and experience to identify the root cause of a failure before recommending a major repair. And when a repair of this magnitude is necessary, we have the equipment and capabilities to handle the job from start to finish.

Modern automotive repair is no longer simply about replacing parts. It requires advanced diagnostics, specialized equipment, technical expertise, and the ability to understand how increasingly complex vehicle systems work together.

Before trusting a shop with a major repair, make sure they have both sides of the equation: the ability to accurately diagnose the problem and the capability to properly repair it.

Because when the entire drivetrain has to come out, you want to be certain you are fixing the right problem the first time.

One challenge we continue to see in the industry is vehicles going from shop to shop without the underlying issue being correctly diagnosed. That often leads to repeat failures, unnecessary parts replacement, more downtime, and customers spending additional money on the same problem without a lasting solution.

Recently, we had a vehicle come in with ongoing emission-related issues. After a thorough inspection by our ASE-certified technicians and Master ASE technician, our team identified the true root cause: a crack in the vehicle’s selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. By diagnosing the problem correctly the first time, we were able to help the customer understand exactly what was happening and avoid continuing to spend money on repeat issues without a real solution.

From there, we went back to the customer and walked through a cost analysis of the options. Repairing the vehicle would have required an investment of roughly $12,000, while the vehicle itself was only worth about $8,000. Based on that analysis, we recommended retiring the unit rather than putting significant money into a vehicle that was already beyond a practical repair threshold. The customer ultimately agreed that it made more sense to put that money toward a replacement vehicle rather than continue investing in one with a high likelihood of additional catastrophic failures.

At WilsonTech Fleet Services, we believe quality service is not just about repairing what is in front of us. It is about giving customers clear, honest guidance so they can make the best long-term decision for their business. Sometimes that means repairing the vehicle. Other times, it means helping the customer recognize when it is time to retire it and move on.

That is why having the right tools, the right experience, and the right technicians matters — especially when it comes to complex emission systems and high-cost repair decisions.

Earlier this week, we shared how one of our fleet customers was hit by catalytic converter theft.

Now, the first round of parts is in, and we are installing our custom catalytic converter deterrent cages.

We wanted to share this update because it shows customers what is possible when it comes to proactively protecting their vehicles. For many businesses, catalytic converter theft is not just an inconvenience — it creates downtime, unexpected repair costs, scheduling disruptions, and lost productivity. That is why prevention matters.

At WilsonTech Fleet Services, we believe fleet protection should be viewed the same way as preventative maintenance. One helps reduce wear-related failures. The other helps reduce avoidable losses from theft and vandalism. Both are critical to keeping your vehicles available, reliable, and ready to work.

These custom deterrent cages are designed to make theft more difficult, increase the time and effort required to target the vehicle, and help discourage thieves from choosing your truck in the first place. No solution can guarantee prevention, but taking proactive steps can significantly reduce vulnerability and help protect the assets your business depends on every day.

Preventative maintenance and theft deterrence are two different conversations, but both should be part of the same fleet strategy.

If your fleet includes gas-powered vehicles, now is the time to start thinking about catalytic converter protection before theft turns into downtime.

Preventative maintenance is only one part of protecting your fleet. Theft prevention matters too.

Last week, one of our fleet customers had four trucks hit for catalytic converter theft, with several additional vehicles suffering damage to large fuel tanks. Unfortunately, this is the kind of crime that can create major operational disruption in a very short amount of time.

For many businesses, a stolen catalytic converter or a damaged fuel tank has the same business impact as a mechanical breakdown: vehicles go down, schedules get disrupted, repair costs add up, and productivity suffers. That is why proactively protecting your trucks is just as important as maintaining them.

Preventative maintenance helps reduce wear-related failures. Theft deterrence helps reduce avoidable losses caused by vandalism and targeted crime. Both play a role in keeping your fleet available, reliable, and ready to work.

Gas-powered vehicles remain a common target for catalytic converter theft. To help customers reduce that risk, WilsonTech Fleet Services installs **custom catalytic converter cages** designed to deter theft and help protect critical fleet assets.

If your business relies on gas-powered trucks, taking proactive steps now can save you from much larger costs and downtime later.

Last night, I had the privilege of attending Sacramento Business Journal’s New CEOs gathering at SAFE Credit Union.

What made the evening especially meaningful was that it was also a celebration of David Lichtman’s retirement as Publisher of the Sacramento Business Journal. During his tenure, David created something truly valuable through the New CEO dinner series — bringing together leaders who are in the first 2 years of becoming CEOs to build real relationships, learn from one another, and create a peer network we can lean on as we grow into these roles.

As someone still early in that journey, I can say those kinds of rooms matter. Leadership can be rewarding, but it can also be isolating. Having the opportunity to connect with other CEOs, have higher-level conversations, and build authentic peer-to-peer relationships is incredibly valuable.

I’m grateful as well to have reconnected with so many great people throughout the evening, including Adonai Mack, Julie Hirota, Delania Lustig, as well as meeting other impressive leaders like Craig Adelman.

It was also great to hear that Bryan Flaherty will be stepping into the publisher role as David begins his retirement. Wishing both David and Brian nothing but success in this next chapter.

A sincere thank you to David for his personal mentorship, his warm welcome, and for creating a space that brings new CEOs together in such a meaningful way.
