Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

Once you’ve got your new tires installed on your diesel truck, you’ll want to keep them in good shape. Tires aren’t difficult to maintain, and maintaining them correctly will dramatically increase their longevity. Inspection and maintenance are the two key components to making sure they last.

These guys were a life saver. We were visiting friends in Ponte Vedra and are from NY. Our AC was not working and the trip down was miserable. Our friend heard East Coast was reputable and we dropped our car there. They were able to get us in the next day and had our AC working well for the trip back. They were accommodating, clean and friendly. Thanks guys.
