Commercial Vehicle Inspection

Commercial Vehicle Inspection (CVIP)

What does a Commercial Vehicle Inspection cover at Universal Ford Fleet?

At Universal Fleet, we offer a comprehensive multi-point commercial vehicle inspection covering critical components. We thoroughly check the power train, suspension, brakes, steering, and auxiliary equipment to ensure optimal performance and safety for your drivers as well as regulatory compliance needs. 

On a thorough check, our service experts check all lamps and electrical systems to ensure they are operational and compliant with regulations. The vehicle’s body is inspected for any structural damage or corrosion that could compromise safety. We also examine the tires for proper tread depth and wear patterns, and ensure the wheels are in good condition—and couplers and hitches to ensure they are secure and capable of safely towing loads. You can entrust your commercial vehicle inspection to a fleet department that preserves your safety and bottom-line.

Vehicle Inspection Services Procedure at Universal Fleet

With each completed commercial vehicle inspection, a record of inspection (ROI) will be provided to our valued fleet customers, regardless of whether the vehicle passed the inspection or not. Universal Fleet is required to retain a copy of the Record of Inspection for our records. Determinations of whether a vehicle passes or fails can only be made at inspection time —to provide you with information on the vehicle’s current condition. 

We provide reports for documentation if a vehicle passes inspection, and affix a decal to the vehicle. We recommend that a copy of the inspection report always reside in the vehicle, with the original document we issue should be kept in safe storage at the principal place of fleet operations, such as a fleet depot. 

If a commercial vehicle fails the inspection, then our experienced technicians and licensed mechanics will complete your Commercial Vehicle Inspection at our authorized facility and perform the work required to make sure your commercial vehicle gets repairs within compliance. Our inspections keep your concerns front and centre. Ask our fleet consultants about inspection scheduling or other questions you may have at your consultation today!
