Engine and Exhaust System

• Engine Repair
  We maintain, service and repair semi-trucks and trailers. Whatever you need to keep your truck on the road, we can help. From major engine work to body work, as well as DOT compliance, we help you keep your fleet moving.
• Oil Change
  A solid fleet maintenance plan addresses several important points. For example, fleet services that include preventive maintenance and timely repairs keep your vehicles operating efficiently. Oil and filter changes and tune-ups keep engines from struggling, saving wear and allowing for better operation. This saves on fuel costs over time, more than compensating for the cost of the services. Also, if you take care of your fleet, your vehicles are less likely to break down. This protects the bottom line by keeping your transportation on the road. It also saves on the labor costs of wasted employee time. More importantly, it helps keep your drivers safer without getting stranded beside the road. Further, well-maintained and repaired autos last longer. You’ll go farther between purchases, saving a significant investment in transportation units. Finally, you’re in a significantly better legal position in the event of an accident if you have a written, appropriate maintenance record. Thus, fleet service can save you from lawsuits and financial liabilities by proving that brakes, tires, lights, and other safety components are properly maintained.

• Emissions Inspection
  Your commercial vehicle’s Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system protects our environment by changing bad nitrous oxide into the water and harmless gasses. Beyond operating responsibly as a civic duty, you’re also held to federal emissions standards. When you get DEF System Repairs from ARS Truck & Fleet in New Castle, Delaware, it’s all about the protection. You’re protecting the atmosphere from the harmful exhaust that would otherwise be emitted from your commercial truck or fleet transportation, and we’re protecting you from the consequences of non-compliance. What’s more, our promise of better, cleaner, and faster repair work is doubled. Not only does that reflect the problem-solving experience you’ll receive from our ASE-certified technicians, but it also describes how your vehicle(s) will operate. Given the nature of this repair, it will be cleaner. It will likely run better (more efficiently) with upkeep. Finally, it may even go faster. Low diesel exhaust fluid levels have made some trucks go very slowly. If you require DEF repair, take advantage of our outstanding mobile assistance, where we bring the garage to you or visit us at 3065 New Castle Ave New Castle, DE 19720 between Interstates 295 and 495.

• Transmission Fluid Service
• Clutch Service/Repair
  If you’re familiar with transmissions, great! If not, we’re happy to provide a brief overview that might prove useful as you navigate commercial vehicle repair. Your heavy-duty transmission is designed to haul a load. Even so, you can experience transmission trouble. Underlying factors include overheating, defect, traffic accident damage, failure to maintain the unit properly, and/or aging/wearing. You should observe new noises, high engine or transmission temperatures, and low transmission fluid levels. These are some typical early warning signs of the need for transmission repair. The most common repairs to these heavy-duty units include fluid/filter replacement, torque converter replacement, and rebuilding/replacing the transmission. Changing the fluid and filter as needed goes a long way toward protecting your heavy-duty unit. A sufficient amount of clean fluid will help cool the transmission and keep the gears properly lubricated. A failed torque converter has to be replaced to maintain the operability of your vehicle. This component is responsible for multiplying the force generated by the engine such that the vehicle can move with no physical exertion from the driver. If your transmission has failed, you’ll need either a rebuild or replacement, as it sounds. A rebuild exchanges non-working parts while other parts are cleaned and reinstalled. Seals are also replaced. A replacement entails putting in another new or refurbished unit. Although they occur less frequently, other potential repairs include clutch repair, o-ring replacement, replacement of bearings, and transfer case fixes.

Steering and Suspension

• Suspension Service/Repair

Tires

• Tire Rotation
  Fleet services are necessary to keep your commercial vehicles operating efficiently and safely. Regardless of size, body type, fuel power, or age, each fleet member needs preventive maintenance services such as routine oil and filter changes, fluid checks, tire rotation, or balancing. Your transportation also needs timely or planned repairs. These include tune-ups, tire replacement, and brake pad replacement, among other points. Otherwise, you’re setting your fleet vehicles up for poor performance, breakdowns, and perhaps even legal liabilities if there’s an accident attributable to a negligent service record. But how will you ensure your vehicles are well taken care of while operating your company? That’s where we can help you. We like to think of ourselves as problem solvers. First, we make fleet repair easier by bringing the garage (complete with stocked commonly used parts) to you for mobile service. Think of the time, labor, and expense you’ll save by not having to ferry your vehicles over one by one for service. Second, we plan service delivery that’s specific to you. Depending upon your needs, this could entail a staggered schedule so that only so many vehicles are off the road at once, considering when refrigeration units are used to cool a load. Tell us about your fleet service needs, and we’ll find a service solution.
• Wheel Alignment
• Tire Replacement
• Tire Service
  We’ll clean the whole exterior and interior of your vehicle, including the undercarriage and chassis of your vehicles along with the rest of the exterior, inside the wheel wells, and around the major suspension components. The wheels and tires are thoroughly washed before a special protectant is applied to prevent corrosion and cracking.

Brakes

• Brake Service
• Brake Repair
  There are many reasons for choosing mobile truck repair instead of driving to our physical location. One apparent motive might be that you’ve experienced a breakdown. If this happens to you, we’ll come out and help you. Roadside repair circumvents the need for an expensive tow to our facility, minimizes your downtime, and gets you back on your route as soon as possible. However, mobile repair isn’t just for emergency roadside services. When you opt for mobile truck repair, you don’t invest an employee’s time to drive the truck to our facility. Your business continues while we take care of the truck(s). This is particularly advantageous when you have multiple trucks in need of repair. Having easy-to-access service and repair for your truck(s) removes the inconvenience of taking good care of your business transportation. Count on our team to bring a full range of preventive maintenance services to keep your truck operating at its best. This includes oil and filter changes, fuel filter replacement, and fluid checks. We also make repairs that keep you and your employees motoring safely and head off more significant problems. These include brake repairs, tire checks, lighting system checks, and remediation.

Electrical and Electronic

• Lighting Services
• Electrical Service/Repair
  While some auto body restoration skills transfer easily from one vehicle to another, some special considerations are unique to fire truck and ambulance repair. Surprising to some, one of the biggest enemies of the emergency response vehicle body isn’t collision damage. It’s rust! That occurs because the fire truck or ambulance responds even when the weather isn’t favorable. When the roads are salted to reduce the risk of slippage, the heavy-duty first responder vehicle gets coated like a pretzel. Over time, this fosters the potential for rust. Therefore, the body repair facility you choose should be adept at metal fabrication and welding. Additionally, fire trucks and ambulances have far more and different lighting than your passenger car to enable visual alerts. They’re equipped with audible warnings such as enhanced horns and sirens, too. Therefore, the restoration provider should have expertise in electrical systems and related public alert components. Finally, fire trucks and ambulances are equipped with equipment specific to the tasks they perform. These include pumps, lifts, pneumatic equipment, etc., so a body shop should be able to ensure the functionality of these components in order to be a suitable facility.
