Automotive News & Information - T&A Truck Specialist, Inc

Obviously, your brakes are pretty important. At T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in T&A Truck Specialist, Inc, we are here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops like it should.

Your brake system is made of many components that all have to work correctly for your brakes to operate seamlessly. If one thing needs to be repaired, the whole system is compromised. Brake pads, rotors, hoses, calipers, and metal lines all play a part in stopping your car. Our team is equipped to make sure all of those parts are in working order, so you can be safe on the road ahead.

When you are having trouble with your car or truck starting and you open the hood up to take a peek to see this....you'll see what an overly corroded battery looks like. This happens naturally over time on vehicle battery terminals. If you are like 99% of normal Tampa drivers, you don't check your oil or your battery so you don't keep an eye on the amount of corrosion that's building up on your car or truck battery. Here at T&A Truck Specialist, Inc, we do and there are solvents that we can use here in the shop during a battery maintenance service that will help slow the corrosion process but nothing that can prevent it 100%. Way before it gets to this point, we will be suggesting you consider replacing the battery.

Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs!
1. You see steam rising from the engine!
2. The Check Engine Light is on!
3. The engine starts, but there is an odor that is not right.
4. You hear grinding or thumping noises.

Here at T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa we often do diagnostics and sometimes the problem is obvious after hooking the car up to the computer and reading the codes. However, sometimes it isn't obvious during a test drive or after hooking it up to all those computer programs! You know there is a problem and a Check Engine Light is on with the fleet customer telling you the car has been having issues starting and the light has been going off and on depending on several factors. No pattern, no simple answer but the problem becomes obvious when you start following the "threads of the issue" thanks to all that ASE Technician training.

At T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL, we believe that every fleet vehicle is a reflection of those who put them to work. In our opinion, an operator’s fleet is the best reflection of their own unique personality.

When it’s time to go to the doctor, you probably don’t start looking for the cheapest doctor in town that claims he knows what he’s doing...you’re at least gonna want to see some proof. There’s a reason people go to school and get certified for this stuff. Your vehicles aren’t much different - that’s why 9/10 (car) doctors recommend having your fleet serviced by an automotive professional. At T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL, we’ve got the team you’re looking for.

Gone are the days where your work relied on a horse and buggy (for most of us, anyway.) Now, you rely on your fleet of vehicles or commercial trucks to get the job done instead. Much like a horse, your fleet wears out over time - but unlike a horse, you can fix a truck. T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL is here to help.

If you own or operate a fleet or commercial truck, you’re probably pretty familiar with diesel vehicles. But why are diesel engines predominantly used in commercial vehicles, and where did they start? T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL has the answer.
