Inspect all light bulbs on your vehicle. These include interior and exterior lights, driver lights, and overhead lights. If you see any dimmed lights or outages, TESCO's parts department will be able to ship you exactly what you need. If the bulbs are difficult to access, you may need to schedule a service appointment.
Check hand rails. Due to the nature of a bus, parts such as hand rails can come loose. This is dangerous and can be a liability. This is an easy fix- tighten the screws and you're good to go!
Examine your tires. Be sure to check the tire pressure for accuracy (especially during the changing of seasons). Correct tire pressure will extend the life of tires and increase your gas mileage. The correct tire pressure will be listed inside the driver's side door jamb or the vehicle manual. Most importantly, check the tire tread with a tread depth gauge to prevent accidents. Look for uneven wear, cracks, or bulges and consult TESCO's service shop if you see anything unusual.
Choose the right time to fuel up. Condensation can form in the tank at night and can lead to a buildup of sludge and water, damaging the engine. Fill up at the end of the day instead of in the morning to prevent this.
