Managing a fleet is no easy task, especially when it comes to ensuring that every vehicle remains in top condition. One of the most critical aspects of fleet management is having the right automotive parts readily available to minimize downtime and keep your operations running smoothly. Below, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 essential automotive parts every fleet manager should keep in stock to maintain efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
1. Batteries
A dead battery is one of the most common reasons for vehicle breakdowns, especially during the colder months when batteries are more prone to failure. Keeping an assortment of batteries in stock ensures that your vehicles are always ready to hit the road.
Need a reliable supply of batteries for your fleet? Contact Schooler Truck & Auto at 817-332-4080 to see how we can help you maintain a well-stocked inventory.

2. Brake Pads and Rotors
Brakes are essential for vehicle safety, and worn-out brake pads or rotors can lead to dangerous situations. Regular inspections and replacements are vital, and having these parts on hand can prevent costly downtime.
3. Filters (Oil, Air, Fuel)
Filters play a crucial role in maintaining engine health by preventing contaminants from entering the engine, fuel system, or cabin. Stocking up on oil, air, and fuel filters will help keep your fleet’s engines running smoothly and efficiently.

At Schooler Truck & Auto, we stock a wide range of filters to ensure your fleet runs clean and efficient. Call us today at 817-332-4080 to keep your vehicles in top condition!

4. Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses are vital components that, if they fail, can cause significant engine damage and vehicle downtime. It’s important to have these parts readily available to replace worn or damaged ones immediately.

5. Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are essential for the ignition system, and worn-out plugs can lead to misfires, reduced fuel efficiency, and engine problems. Keeping a stock of spark plugs can help you maintain optimal engine performance.

6. Windshield Wipers and Washer Fluid
Clear visibility is crucial for safe driving, especially in adverse weather conditions. Regularly replacing windshield wipers and keeping washer fluid topped up are simple yet effective ways to maintain driver safety.

7. Lights and Bulbs
Ensuring that all lights and indicators on your vehicles are functioning properly is not only a legal requirement but also a safety necessity. Stocking up on headlights, brake lights, and indicator bulbs helps prevent safety issues.

8. Cooling System Components (Radiators, Thermostats)
The cooling system is vital for preventing engine overheating. Having spare radiators, thermostats, and other cooling system components on hand can help you address any issues before they lead to significant engine damage.

9. Fuel Additives
Diesel fuel can gel in cold weather, leading to performance issues. Having fuel additives on hand helps prevent this, ensuring that your vehicles maintain optimal performance even in freezing temperatures.

10. Transmission and Engine Oil
Keeping a supply of the correct transmission and engine oil is critical for regular maintenance. Regular oil changes help extend the life of your engines and keep your fleet operating smoothly.
