Fleet vehicle engines, when well maintained, can easily reach 100,000 miles, and still run smoothly. Regular oil changes, plus special attention to other engine components can ensure you get the maximum life out of your fleet’s engine before repair or replacement becomes necessary.

Rio Grande Automotive offers comprehensive fleet engine maintenance and repair services for all Albuquerque fleets. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment.

If your fleet vehicle’s engine cranks but won’t turn over, it can mean one of two things. It has a dead battery the carburetor needs servicing.

Sometimes all that’s needed is a carburetor overhaul, which includes a good cleaning. Other times, the carburetor may need replacing. Our technicians can thoroughly inspect your fleet vehicle’s carburetor and recommend what makes the most sense.

Your fleet vehicle’s engine generates a lot of heat. Without a cooling system that includes a water pump, radiator, and hoses, that heat could damage the engine within minutes. Completing regular maintenance and replacement of hoses and coolant can keep some problems at bay.

For hoses, we recommend replacement every four years or 50,000 to 75,000 miles. Don’t forget about the clamps that hold the hoses in place. They can weaken over time.

Coolant helps keep your engine from overheating in hot New Mexico weather. Replace your coolant every two years or 30,000 miles.

If any of these components fail, our technicians can quickly repair or replace them to get your fleet vehicles back on the roadways.
