When it comes to ensuring the safety of drivers and integrity of City vehicles, preventative maintenance is the best way to reduce and even avoid vehicle breakdowns. In the photo below, Garage technician Angel Lopez is shown replacing the driver’s side drive axle shaft on one of our patrol vehicles (the axle shaft is a rod or shaft that rotates the wheels and supports the weight of a vehicle). The Garage Division staff does a great job of keeping on top of necessary inspections and repairs to ensure City vehicles remain safe and in compliance.
