The truck shop
is responsible for the maintenance,
and repair of the city’s heavy equipment, and trucks. These units are a vital part
of Public Works, Fire, Police, and Transit.
Our main goal is
to keep the equipment on the job with minimal “down time”. We have in place a very
efficient Preventative Maintenance program where every unit comes into the shop
for filter changes at the appropriate interval. We also have complete equipment
inspections were we can inspect the equipment and check for potential problems before
they happen. We count on a welding shop to make necessary repairs, a hydraulic technician
for any hydraulic issue. Our tire shop takes care of vehicles coming in for tire
service as well as a mobile unit able to make repairs in the field.
As some of you
know our Transit system is up and running. We have put in place a second shift to
handle any problems that may arise with any bus while in route. We inspect the buses
on a daily basis, check all safety items, and make repairs. Our technicians have
been trained at the factory. Our citizens can rest assured that they are riding
in a very safe and reliable bus.
We offer 24 hr
7 days a week emergency service for any department that has equipment working on
projects after hours. If needed, we respond with Fire Dept. to service any equipment
at a fire scene or re-fuel if the unit is at a scene for a long period of time.
We are a full service facility able to repair any break down that occurs, we count
on the latest diagnostic equipment. Our technicians are ASE Certified. We are committed
to the continued education of our staff. We send our technicians to Sterling, Bluebird,
Cummins factory training, as well as vendor sponsored training.
We are a vital part of a team that keeps the parks beautiful,
citizens safe, street improvement projects going, garbage picked up, and streets
clean. We take pride knowing that we make a difference in improving the quality of life for the citizens of Hialeah.
