Servicing and Maintenance. How a poor service history is a disservice to your business.

While regular maintenance is of key importance to keep your Hino running at its reliable best, too often, vehicles are turning up at Hino Service Centres with incomplete or inconsistent service histories.

This tends to come down to:

While these shortcuts might seem minor, they can often lead to avoidable mechanical issues, higher repair costs, safety risks and downtime.

Proper servicing matters for so many reasons. Let’s break down why and how you can keep your Hino in top condition and performing at its best.

When trucks are not serviced at the right interval, the wear on parts can go unnoticed. Oil can become dirty, filters clog up, brakes can wear dangerously thin, and coolant levels can fall below the minimum levels. Next thing you know, your truck is off the road, and what should’ve been a small fix turns into a serious mechanical problem.

What happens when a Service is delayed?

What can begin to make things even more complicated is when a truck is serviced outside the Hino Dealer network. Documentation is often incomplete or vague at best, making it hard to know what work was actually done. Questions begin to arise about whether a part was replaced, if Hino Genuine Parts were used and if the correct procedures were being followed.

Why a Service record matters.

Non-genuine parts may have been used, which can result in poor performance or failure.Improper or incomplete servicing might lead to endless repairs or safety concerns.Missing records make it difficult to trace past issues or validate warranty claims.

Do it right the first time with a Hino Genuine Service.

When you service your Hino with an Authorised Dealer, you know you’ll have Hino Genuine Parts installed every time, and that they come with a 3-Year Unlimited Kilometre Warranty.  

What’s more, they’re installed by factory-trained technicians who know every Hino like the back of their hand. They use the right tools for the job and follow factory standards, all of which ensure your truck is performing at its reliable best.

Cheaper aftermarket parts end up wearing out faster and underperform, while Hino Genuine Parts are designed to work better and last longer.

With a Hino Capped Price Service, you always know what you’re up for with cost. a small business or fleet manager, it makes budgeting for maintenance far easier, knowing what your costs are going to be upfront.

As a driver, using the Owner’s Manual and keeping an eye on the truck with regular checks can catch small issues before they possibly become bigger ones.
