Food Trucks​

Call Us: 843-905-2441

If you own a food truck then it’s both your restaurant and your kitchen. In addition to being a vehicle. If the vehicle breaks down, the restaurant will be incapable of operating. Your patrons go somewhere else and you lose the day’s sales. Not ideal.

Proper maintenance of your food truck is an important part of smooth operation. Given how important your food truck is to you, don’t just stop at regular maintenance and prompt repairs. Make a point of inspecting the following regularly:

  • Tire treads
  • Tire pressure
  • Spark Plugs and Wires
  • Oil filters
  • Fuel Filters
  • Air Filters
  • Brake Pads
  • Brake Fluid

FAST AND AFFORDABLE REPAIR

    Maintenance of Food Trucks

    Regular maintenance is the best way to avoid sudden breakdowns of your food truck. Small problems don’t need to balloon into big ones because they are identified and fixed while still small.

    Even major problems can be spotted from a mile away. This prevents the occurrence of catastrophic failures that may cost you your revenue, your customers, or a catering gig.

    Fluids

    Inspect, refill, and change out all of the following fluids regularly:

    • Engine Oil
    • Transmission Fluid
    • Brake Fluid
    • Antifreeze
    • Power Steering Fluid
    • Windshield Wiper Fluid

    Battery

    Check your battery regularly, tighten the connections, and top up the water. During regular maintenance, have the battery’s output voltages and currents checked. This way, you will know your battery is degrading instead of waking one morning and discovering your battery is dead and your truck won’t start.

    Tires

    Your food truck carries a lot of your cooking equipment. This can be heavy and place an increased load on your tires. So do not cheap out on the tires. Get a good quality set.

    Make point of inspecting your treads. Don’t let your tires go bald. If your truck skids with a full load of food in the back, you may be dealing with a big old mess. And possibly some expensive equipment getting banged up for good measure.

    Wipers and Windshield

    Check your windshield for cracks, chips, and rattling noises. Inspect your wiper fluid and refill it regularly.

    Filters

    Inspect, clean, and replace clogged fuel, air, and oil filters regularly. Colored smoke is usually an indicator of this.

    Belts & Hoses

    Inspect your belts and hoses during routine maintenance. Replace the worn and frayed ones right away.

    2.Transmission Problems

    The transmission is the intermediary between your engine and your wheels. If it malfunctions, you’ll find your food truck grounded.

    Some common transmission problems:

    • Failure to stay in gear
    • Strange noises during gear shifts
    • A wobbly or broken clutch

    Do not let transmission problems metastasize. Call us.

    3. Wheel and Axle Problems

    The increased weight of your cookware might strain your axles if they aren’t rated for the weight. Look out for the following signs:

    • A vibrating undercarriage
    • The wheels wobbling
    • A clicking noise when making urns
    • Grease–stained tires
    • Your wheels lock when you shift gears

    Maintaining a healthy food truck can be a difficult task. The wheels and axles are the most difficult parts to keep in good condition. Failure in having routine maintenance can lead to more serious problems and make the vehicle more difficult to operate.
