Local notes

Illinois has its own truck safety test program run by IDOT. Tests are done at Official Testing Stations or by official mobile safety testing companies at the place of business of the vehicle owner, and the required interval depends on the vehicle. The federal annual inspection and the Illinois safety test are separate requirements. All Fleet Inc repairs brakes, lights, and other items so a unit is ready for its test at an official testing station.

The federal inspection report must be kept for 14 months (49 CFR 396.21).

Mobile repair in Waukegan comes from the team at our Lake Bluff, IL shop, within our typical service area, typically a 90-minute ETA or less.

We will give you an exact arrival time once your service call is set up.
