Maintenance and Inspection

A Proven Process for Road-Ready Used Trucks

Every used vehicle we sell meets exceptionally high standards for vehicle quality. Through rigorous maintenance and a Penske 70-point presale inspection we ensure that you’ll be fully satisfied with your used truck purchase.

Preventive Maintenance

The vast majority of our used trucks have had just one previous owner, so their entire vehicle life has been with Penske or a Penske customer. That means the trucks we sell have benefited from a rigorous preventive maintenance since day one. Our preventive maintenance program includes:

• Oil and coolant analysis that detects trouble before it happens
• Engine settings that optimize performance and save fuel

And, to further ensure you get the best from our vehicles, we perform annual inspections more frequently than required by law. Before you decide to buy, you can verify our dedication to quality through online service histories for every truck, tractor and trailer we sell.

Presale Inspection

At Penske, a thorough inspection of our used trucks ensures all systems meet the manufacturer's specifications and are in top working condition. Before you drive off the lot, our trained technicians:

• Drive, test and inspect the entire vehicle
• Ensure up-to-date service and DOT inspection
• Check under and upper chassis, engine and electrical operation
• Ensure steer assembly operation
• Inspect all components – with and without engine running – including:
  • - Fuel line
  • - Water pump
  • - Throttle linkage
  • - Belts
• Inspect windshields, interior and radio; check tires and wheels
• Remove Penske decals; touch up bumper and wheel paint
• Sweep out interior and pressure wash
