Light truck and vehicle maintenance
The light truck and vehicle maintenance group of the
Fleet Service Group is located at 500 Hiawatha Boulevard West, on
the premises of Metro, in Syracuse. This group handles
vehicle maintenance for 1300 vehicles including patrol
cars, pick-up trucks, vans, and other small vehicles.
These vehicles average fifteen thousand miles each
year. The maintenance facility has seven repair bays,
including six lifts.
Technicians of the light truck and vehicle maintenance
group make needed repairs and perform NYS inspections
on County vehiclesexcept those in the Transportation
Departmentas needed. They do electrical work, brakes,
suspension, and all other maintenance. The group's
clerical staff keeps vehicle records, too, and
notifies drivers when preventive maintenance or
inspections are called for.
The light truck and vehicle maintenance group has
implemented software called "Faster." This software
has improved tracking of information on the repairs to
vehicles. It has also permitted the group to develop a
database of the relative repair histories of different
types of vehicles.
