If you’re a busy contractor, trade professional, or delivery driver, you know that few rules of business hold quite as true as “time is money.” Having your work vehicle off the road and off the clock for even a short amount of time can have a huge impact on your bottom line, with estimates ranging as high as $1,000 a day in lost wages. Scheduling commercial truck service is often something of a double-edged sword. You can lose a working day bringing your vehicle in for repair and routine maintenance, or you can defer and risk a costly breakdown somewhere down the line. It may seem like a no-win situation, but McCluskey Chevrolet has a simple solution.

We’re proud to offer extended service hours that work around your busy schedule, not the other way around. With a service center that’s open seven days a week and extended service hours that allow drivers to drop their vehicle off as late as 11 PM, businesses and trade professionals can always count on us for vital repairs and maintenance work well after your average shop has called it a day. Let’s explore a few of the benefits of overnight service, outline some of our specialties, and learn how we have tailored our service center to the needs of the working world.

Safety and Longevity

Deferring important repair and maintenance tasks can lead to some big headaches and expenses down the road. Drivers not only risk their own safety and that of other drivers but also the long-term integrity of their vehicle. Something as simple as sticking to a recommended oil change schedule, swapping out your brake pads and rotors, or replacing filters can make all the difference when it comes to performance and efficiency, which is why our overnight service is such a boon to our busy customers. When you’ve got deliveries to make, supplies to unload, or a last-minute job to squeeze in, you simply don’t have time to wait around for a brake pad replacement or wheel alignment. Our extended service hours allow us to take care of all that and more, meaning your vehicle will be ready for whatever the road might have in store.

More Hours, More Customers Served

While many automotive service centers tend to punch out at 5 PM, Our team works late to ensure your vehicle experiences as little downtime as possible. No matter how many technicians they might employ, the average service center’s productivity is ultimately limited by the number of hours in each working day. An eight-hour shift might seem like a long time, but it doesn’t help you if your business hours match the service centers, meaning there is no time left for vehicle service. By extending our service hours until 11 PM and running two different shifts, we nearly double the productivity of the average repair and maintenance shop. This unique schedule benefits not just our business customers seeking service for their work or fleet vehicles but also frees up the schedule to allow for more availability for the average driver. That means less time is spent waiting for an appointment and more time logging some billable hours.

Service For Every Vehicle

While we might be one of Cincinnati’s most trusted Chevy dealerships, our expertise extends far beyond GM vehicles. Our experienced service technicians are well-versed in every make and model under the sun, from GM brands like Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC to popular pickups and other fleet vehicles produced by Ford, Ram, Toyota, Honda, and the like. If you’re looking for an alternative to your original dealer or simply haven’t been able to find a repair shop that meets your high standards or works around your schedule, make us your next stop.

New Parts On Your Schedule

Tracking down the right replacement part for a repair or maintenance job is often one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to delivering timely service. Our well-stocked parts department is open until 3 AM on most weekdays, which means minimal delays that’ll allow you to get back on the road and back to work as quickly as possible. We’re also able to source hard-to-find parts and fulfill custom orders to help make your automotive dreams a reality. We are committed to using OEM parts that meet the highest standards for craftsmanship and reliability. Sure, we could probably save a few bucks by going with a cheaper aftermarket alternative, but we believe that every driver deserves the best when they pull up to our service center.

Comprehensive Collision Service

No matter how mindful you might be about keeping up with basic maintenance tasks, accidents are inevitable. While a fender bender or minor accident might not put your vehicle fully out of commission, it can present some issues when it comes to maintaining a professional appearance. A customer might be wary of working with a trade professional, delivery driver, or contractor who shows up in a battered truck that’s clearly been put through the wringer. That’s where our collision repair center comes in. Our full-service collision center has achieved some of the industry’s highest credentials with the i-CAR Gold and ASE Certified badges to show for it. We’re also the preferred body shop for many of the country’s leading insurance companies, maintaining solid relationships with Progressive, Allstate, Nationwide, and others.

Professional Engine Protection

From parts and repairs to maintenance and a full-service body shop, our service department is prepared to address any automotive issues that might threaten to impact your business. Need a basic oil and filter change? Our certified service experts will not only top off your engine while you catch a little well-deserved sleep but will also check to ensure the system is free of leaks, operating at the correct temperature, and properly filtering out any harmful contaminants. While some other mechanics and lube shops might opt for a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to selecting a blend of oil, We only use the specific formula designed for your particular make and model.

Fresh Brakes Mean Fewer Breaks

Our team can also help to keep your vehicle’s brakes in tip-top shape. This is an especially important consideration for those whose job calls for a heavy-duty truck. The weight and stress that come with towing, hauling, and other heavy-duty applications can place a lot of stress on the brakes, accelerating wear and leaving drivers open to inconsistent performance or outright failure. If you’ve noticed that your brakes have been squeaking, squealing, or causing noticeable vibrations when you step on the pedal, it’s probably time to schedule an overnight appointment at our service center.

Your All-in-One Tire Destination

We are equipped to perform tire rotations, wheel alignment, and balancing that can add countless miles to a set of tires. A worn set of tires not only increases the chances of a dangerous blow-out, but it can also have a noticeable impact on traction, control, and fuel economy. If you do find yourself in need of a new set of tires, we’ve got you covered with a wide selection of quality products from some of the industry’s top brands like Bridgestone, Michelin, Hankook, and more. Simply drop off your vehicle after you call it quits for the day and pick it up the next morning with a fresh set of tires.

Overnight Service Keeps Your Business Rolling

With extended hours and overnight service, a knowledgeable staff of highly trained technicians, and a robust supply chain that can source even the most specialized parts, McCluskey Chevrolet is here to make repairing and maintaining your work vehicle as easy as possible. It’s all part of a customer-first approach that has brought the dealership so much success over our decades in the business. Drivers have plenty of choices when it comes time to choose their next car, truck, or SUV, but if you’re searching for a trusted partner who knows the unique demands of running a business, look no further. From buying a new vehicle or getting a fair deal for your trade-in to maintenance, repair, and body work, we’re here to help you get back on the road and back on the clock as quickly as possible.
