Parts Investment — In order to expedite repairs and avoid costly delays, we stock over 25,000 unique parts in our warehouse and have daily interbranch delivery service to all TCl locations. If an instance arises where we do not have the part, we have instantaneous access to over $250M in dealer inventory through OE Connect. Additionally, Freightliner has a Mission Critical and Emerging Parts Issue tracking system that keeps dealers pre- stocked with critical components for repairs and identifies potential part failures and flags them with replacements so customers and dealers are not caught off -guard in a shortage situation. Elite Support - Elite Support is a collaborative effort between Freightliner and its truck dealers that is focused on improving the customer experience. All full - service TCI locations are part of an elite group of 160+ dealers currently certified in the U.S. and Canada that have met the stringent Elite Support criteria. The cornerstone of Elite Support is our Express Assessment guarantee. Within 2 hours of your service write -up, we will: Communicate single service issue diagnosis, check parts availability and provide an estimate of cost and repair time. This targeted process minimizes delays and has active communication between the service staff and customer to expedite their repair and get them back on the road. Technical Training Investment — Our Training Center is essential to our customer support because the two, full -time, fully- certified trainers conduct year -round courses on various topics for all TCI technicians, service staff at other dealerships plus our customers' Ell maintenance teams. Our commitment to training yields technicians with improved diagnostic speed and accuracy that results in more uptime. Currently, up to 80% of Warranty time is spent on diagnostics rather than the actual repair. On -Site Specialized Services - Radiator & Driveline Repair Plus DPF Cleaning Service — We offer additional services including On -Site Radiator Repair, Driveline Repair and DPF Cleaning Service seven days a week to avoid unnecessary downtime for these specialized services that are often outsourced. State -of- the -Art Collision Centers — TO has three, on -site Collisions Centers with trained body specialists that can handle frame repairs, body and paint work for minor or major repairs. Our team offers temporary repairs to get units back to their terminal or professional accident repair work. Estimators and Body Shop Managers also travel to storage facilities, tow lots or customer terminals to write on -site repair estimates and can arrange nationwide towing to help expedite the repair process and reduce costs and the burden on fleets. Mobile Repair Trucks at Every Store — To continue exceeding our customers' expectations, we now have Mobile Repair trucks at every store that are ready to be dispatched for roadside repairs or to customers' terminals for warranty repairs, preventative maintenance, alignments or general repairs. Our veteran technicians have extensive training and are able to deliver the same great service that customers expect from TO but mobile. We understand that customer' s occasionally have minor repairs that can be performed on -site and bringing the truck into the shop only drains valuable time for drivers and amounts to lost revenue — our mobile repair units can easily be dispatched to the downed unit to try and help get that truck fixed and back on the road as quickly as possible. 4 Daimler Trucks of North America -Freightliner: The Industry Innovator -Western Star: The Luxury Workhorse *Sprinter: The Backbone of Businesses -Detroit: The Powerhouse -Alliance: The Accessories & Parts �ei> as well as... •Fuso: The Delivery Dynamo FU50 -Ottawa.
