Inspection and service in one visit

This store performs state inspections and also does the repairs that an inspection tends to turn up. That combination is worth planning around.

The sensible order, if your inspection is due and something on the vehicle has been bothering you, is to mention both when you book. A squeal from the brakes, a wiper that smears, a light that is out, a warning lamp on the dash: all of them are easier to deal with in the same visit than in two.

With the store open until 5:30 PM, later than most Purcell locations, the practical version of that is dropping a vehicle before work and collecting it after.

Scheduled maintenance is the cheaper path

A vehicle that is maintained gets looked at on a plan. Wear is found while it is still wear, fluids are changed before they stop working, and the owner knows roughly what is coming.

A vehicle that is repaired gets looked at when something has already gone wrong, and by then the failure has usually taken something else with it.

Scheduled maintenance here follows the manufacturer's schedule for the vehicle. Worth knowing: most work vehicles are in severe service without anyone deciding that, because short trips, idling, towing and dust all qualify. Tell the store how the vehicle actually spends its week and the interval can be set to match.

For businesses in the area

Fleet services covers vans, pickups, tractor units and trailers on one account, with agreed specifications and records. There is no minimum number of vehicles.

Casings go to the Purcell retread plant in Potosi, which is not far, and come back ready to run. See retreading.

What are the hours?

Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. De Soto is the only other Missouri store open as late. 24-hour roadside assistance covers commercial units outside those hours.

Can I get an inspection and repairs in the same visit?

Usually, yes. Mention both when you book so the time is set aside. A fault that is quick to put right can often be dealt with on the day; one that needs parts means a return trip, and the store will say which you are looking at before anything starts.

My vehicle does low mileage. Does it still need servicing?

Yes, on time rather than on mileage. Oil degrades, rubber perishes and brake fluid absorbs moisture whether the vehicle moves or not. Low-mileage vehicles doing short trips are in severe service, not light service.

Do you work on trucks?

Yes. Roadside assistance, fleet services, heavy-duty truck and trailer alignment, OTR services and retreading are all offered.

Where are casings retreaded?

At the Potosi plant nearby. The store collects them, so you deal with Washington rather than the plant.
