Equally important is ensuring your truck remains reliable on the road, so let's dive into some essential maintenance tips that will keep your investment running smoothly.

Check Oil

Regular oil checks are the lifeblood of your commercial truck's engine health. Oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and helps dissipate heat. Neglecting oil levels or delaying oil changes can lead to engine wear, reduced efficiency, and potentially costly repairs. At GATR Truck Center, we recommend establishing a routine to check your oil level and quality, ensuring your truck's engine operates at its best.

Inspect Brakes

Your safety and that of other road users hinge on the reliability of your truck's brakes. Before you embark on any trip, it's crucial to inspect your brake system for wear and tear. Look for signs of damage, listen for unusual noises, and pay attention to any changes in braking performance. Our team at GATR Truck Center is always ready to assist with thorough brake inspections and maintenance.

Rotate Tires

Tire rotation is a vital practice that extends the life of your commercial truck's tires. Regular rotation helps maintain even tire wear, which is important for optimal handling and fuel efficiency. It also prevents the development of irregular wear patterns, ensuring a smoother ride. GATR Truck Center's service department can take care of your tire rotation needs, keeping your truck stable and safe on the road.
