Preventive Maintenance That Keeps Your Fleet on the Road
Oil changes, filters, fluid checks, tire rotations — on schedule, on-yard. Prevent small issues from becoming expensive failures. Full visibility through TruView. This is at the core of Slick's managed service.
Why Waiting Costs You More
Routine maintenance today prevents expensive failures tomorrow. Reactive maintenance is always more expensive than preventing the problem.
Engine Damage
A missed oil change leads to engine damage that costs 100x more to fix
Tire Blowouts
Skipped tire rotations cause uneven wear and blowouts on the road
Failed Inspections
Deferred maintenance means failed DOT inspections, fines, and liability
Lost Revenue
Every breakdown means a driver sitting idle and revenue walking out the door

Vacuum-Based Oil Handling. No Hand Pouring.
Our service vans use a fully vacuum-based oil system. Used oil is sucked directly into sealed waste tanks. Fresh oil is dispensed directly from onboard bulk tanks into your vehicles. No funnels. No jugs. No hand pouring.
The result: faster service, zero spill risk, and full accountability for every drop of oil — in and out. It is the safest, most efficient way to handle oil changes at scale.
Vacuum Extraction
Used oil is suctioned directly into sealed waste tanks on our vans. No drain pans, no mess.
Direct Dispensing
Fresh oil flows from onboard bulk tanks directly into your vehicles. Precise volume, every time.
Environmentally Conscious
Sealed system from start to finish. No spills on-yard, no contamination risk, no waste.
Dedicated Tire Box Trucks. Full Mount and Balance On-Site.
Our tire box trucks carry state-of-the-art tire mounting and balancing equipment — the same quality you would find in a dedicated tire shop, deployed directly on-yard. Mounting, balancing, rotation, and replacement without sending a single vehicle off-site.
One truck, one shift, 25+ tires changed. Your fleet stays on your lot, your drivers stay on the road, and you skip the scheduling nightmare of shop appointments.

The ROI of Prevention
Every dollar spent on prevention saves multiples in emergency repairs, downtime, and lost revenue.
Extended Vehicle Life
Regular maintenance can add years to a vehicle's useful life, reducing total cost of ownership across your fleet.
Better Fuel Efficiency
Well-maintained vehicles use less fuel. Clean filters, proper tire pressure, and fresh fluids add up across a fleet.
Reduced Unexpected Downtime
No roadside breakdowns. No emergency towing. Drivers stay on schedule because problems are caught early.
Lower Insurance & Compliance Costs
Proper maintenance means cleaner inspection records, which can mean lower insurance premiums.
Higher Resale Value
Fleets with full, documented service history command higher resale prices when it's time to turn over.
