2/10/24, 1:30-4:30 pm Class #200, Amway Emerald Room A

Vehicle downtime is the biggest enemy of a productive and profitable fleet of commercial vehicles. Through the years, few things have impacted the ability to service contracts or accounts more than having vehicles in a service bay rather than on the road. It is often the overlooked maintenance, or a desire to get back on the road faster, taking short cuts that cause a vehicle to be down unnecessarily, impacting your company goals. In this class, taught by world class instructors from MAT HD, we will explore the importance of proper and complete brake repairs in the commercial sector to increase vehicle uptime and production for your fleet.
