man turning key to car

If you own or operate a fleet or commercial truck, you know it’s hard to keep everything working perfectly all the time. You have to choose what types of maintenance to give priority to, and what can wait. However, some small problems are indicators that a bigger issue is on the way. At Elite Automotive LLC in Covington, KY, our goal is to keep your fleet going.

If you ever have to turn the key more than once to get a vehicle to start, it’s an issue worth addressing. Whether it happens once a month, once a week, or every day, a failure to start is an issue that’ll go from an inconvenience to a big problem at some point. Just because the vehicle always starts eventually, doesn’t mean it’s not worth fixing.

For the engine to turn over, a lot of things have to line up. There’s no direct line between the key and the engine starting - control modules, relays, connections, security systems, the starter, the ignition switch, and more all have to be in good working order to start your vehicle. If one component fails, the engine won’t turn over. Eventually, the troublesome component will fail entirely, stranding your vehicle somewhere on the job.

Fortunately, most of these issues aren’t a big deal to repair; it’s just a matter of getting to it before the problem escalates. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our technicians have you covered. For the best fleet and commercial service shop in Covington, KY, call or stop by Elite Automotive LLC today.
