Frequently Asked Questions

A damaged spot truck isn’t the end of the world, but it needs to be taken seriously. While it can cause some serious issues, the severity of the problem depends on the extent of the damage. A minor issue might only result in a bumpy ride, while a more significant axle problem could lead to unstable handling and even a breakdown. It's crucial to visit our mechanics at Webb Brothers Services to assess the damage and determine the best course of action to keep your spot truck rolling smoothly.

Technically, you can drive a spot truck with a damaged exhaust system, but we don’t recommend it. A damaged exhaust system can affect your truck's performance and fuel efficiency and even lead to harmful emissions entering your cabin, which can cause you to pass out at the wheel or induce long-term health issues like cancer. So, while it might be tempting to keep rolling, it's best to have your exhaust system repaired promptly by our team at Webb Brothers Services for optimal truck health.

Absolutely! You have some flexibility when it comes to choosing the right oil for your spot truck. However, it's essential to make an informed decision. Each spot truck has specific oil requirements, so consult your owner's manual or reach out to our knowledgeable staff for guidance. They'll help you choose an oil that meets the manufacturer's recommendations and suits your truck's needs. 

Preventive maintenance is key to keeping your spot truck running smoothly and avoiding unexpected breakdowns. Ideally, you should schedule preventive maintenance every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. However, it's important to note that the frequency may vary depending on factors like truck usage, operating conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. 

Our experienced team can create a customized maintenance schedule tailored to your spot truck's specific needs. Remember, a little TLC goes a long way toward keeping your wheels turning.

Failing a DOT inspection can be a bit of a headache, but it's not the end of the road for your spot truck. When your spot truck fails, it means that it doesn't meet the required safety standards set by the Department of Transportation. 

The specific consequences depend on the severity and nature of the violations. Typically, you'll need to address the issues promptly and have your spot truck re-inspected to ensure compliance. It's crucial to work with a reputable repair shop like Webb Brother Services, which specializes in DOT compliance, to rectify the problems and get your truck back on the road legally. Remember, safety always comes first, and we're here to help you navigate through any inspection bumps along the way.
