Why You Should get Your Truck Serviced Before Spring

Winter takes a toll on even the most snow-loving, cold weather-appreciating Canadians.

So, you can only imagine what those blasts of freezing cold air, surprise snowstorms and abundance of ice can do to your truck.

Unless you parked your truck in a heated garage all winter, chances are it was left in the driveway. Cold temperatures are the biggest culprit when it comes to typical mechanical issues. Now, with the spring thaw on the horizon, you’ll be making more deliveries and staying out on the roads later, and driving longer, which means your truck will need to be performing at its very best. Engine problems, decompressed tires, and dead batteries are all too common when the season begins to change, which means your business could be losing money while our truck is being repaired

Many people remember to take their winter tires off but are neglectful when it comes to the rest of their truck. Regular maintenance, especially season-to-season is important and can save you a costly trip to the Service Department months down the road.

Plus, spring fever means more and more drivers are eager to get back on the roads, and come March 20th, booking a service appointment could be a lot harder, because everybody’s got the same idea as you! Booking a service appointment before winter officially wraps up grants you the following benefits:

Service Your Brakes for less

Over the winter, you’ve likely been exerting additional pressure on your brakes, thanks to maneuvering through ice, slush, snow, and other inconvenient roadside surfaces. Plus, with your winter tires on, your truck will be working harder than it needs to in the spring.

At Somerville Hino, we’re currently offering a Service Brake Special that inspects your pads, rotors, and front brakes to ensure they are working safely and effectively.

Get an A+ on Your Next Delivery

Driving trucks is by no means an easy job. If you’re accustomed to being on the road for long hours and travelling far distances, you know there’s no time for setbacks, especially when it comes to how your truck is performing. Somerville Hino’s A+ Service Special ensures all of the most important elements of your truck are covered, so you never have to worry out on the road. A full-service 30-point inspection of your oil and lube, oil filter change, grease, and fluid top-up on your vehicle will be initiated so there’s no room for a surprise out on the road.

Take Advantage of the Last days of Winter

With spring right around the corner, truck drivers all over Canada will be rushing down to the nearest dealership to get their Hino trucks in top shape. Beat the rush and book a service appointment with Somerville Hino before March 20th to take advantage of fast service, friendly staff and excellent parts specials, like 20% off winter maintenance parts!
