Important update from Fleet First

I’m going to be straight with everyone.

Effective immediately, we will no longer be doing service calls. I’m already working 60+ hours a week in the shop, and adding service calls on top of that is no longer sustainable. Because of that, I will also be selling both service trucks.

We will also no longer be working on chainsaws, side-by-sides, quads, vacuum cleaners, random equipment, or anything else that gets brought here simply because nobody else in town wants to touch it. Those jobs take up too much room, parts are hard to get, and they pull us away from the vehicles we are actually set up to repair.

Another hard one: we will no longer be working on friends’ vehicles as a favor or dropping everything to squeeze someone in. If you’re a friend, I hope you understand. I value the friendship more than the business, and I don’t want rushed repairs, waiting times, or money to get in the middle of that.

Going forward, Fleet First will be focused on auto, diesel, RV, and fleet repairs only.

Please understand there are literally two of us here. We will get to your vehicle as soon as we can, but that may mean it sits for several days before we can even look at it. I do not want my lot overloaded, and I do not want vehicles dropped off without us knowing what is coming in and when.

I also want to be clear about hiring. I am not going to just hire bodies to make the schedule look better. My name, my reputation, and my responsibility are attached to every vehicle that leaves this shop. A lot of you bring your vehicles here because you do not trust other shops, and I take that seriously. But that also means I cannot just pull “mechanics” from the same pool that created the problem in the first place.

I would rather be slower and do the job right than rush, overload the shop, and send unsafe or half-fixed vehicles out the door.

We appreciate the customers who understand what we are trying to build here. We are not trying to be everything to everybody anymore. We are tightening up, focusing on what we do best, and protecting the quality of the work that leaves this shop.

At the end of the day, I have to protect the shop, my reputation, my sanity, and the quality of work our customers depend on. That means some things are changing. Not everyone will like it, but it is what has to happen for Fleet First to keep doing the job the right way.

Truck came in for a bad turbo. During teardown, we found a broken exhaust manifold bolt.

Instead of automatically turning it into an exhaust manifold replacement with added hardware, added labor, and more cost to the customer, we used our EDM equipment to safely and efficiently remove the broken bolt.

Better tools. Smarter repairs. Less unnecessary cost.

A recent customer had their brakes inspected at a tire shop and was given the “all clear.” Unfortunately, convenience doesn’t always replace a thorough, qualified inspection. When it comes to safety-critical systems like brakes, experience and proper diagnostics matter.
