Many of the younger generations only visit the doctor when they are sick or have some sort of injury. It is only when we get older and wiser that we start visiting the doctor once or twice a year for regular check-ups, that way we can get ahead of problems before they become life-threatening. The same is true for your agriculture or construction equipment, why wait until you have a major breakdown that causes you to lose time and money? Here are just a few reasons why you need preventative maintenance for your heavy machinery in BC!

Improve Reliability

Every construction crew has that dreaded machine prone to breakdowns, regular maintenance can eliminate this headache by identifying small problems before they become big ones! Repairs scheduled at your convenience won’t interfere with your contract commitments.

Lower Operating Costs

Over time, if you are constantly paying for emergency on-site repairs, the operating costs of your machine are going to sky-rocket. The idea is for your equipment to be a productive part of your work force, not a drain on resources.

Improved Re-Sale Value

Having a properly documented maintenance schedule is a sure way to improve the value of your machine vs other machines of the same make/model/year. Even if you have more hours on your machine, regular preventative maintenance will ensure you can speak with confidence about every aspect of your machine to prospective buyers.
