Now that schools are on summer break, it is time for routine repairs and maintenance on your Blue Bird bus fleet. Wear and tear from the school year adds up over time. Obvious repairs needed are those for safety, those required to keep in line with the Annual Inspection and Maintenance tests, and general passenger comfort.
Below is a list of most requested items for repair in our Parts Department during this season.
-Seats
- Foam for seat repairs- For safety purposes, it is vital that seats are kept in good condition.
- Seat Covers- For extensive tears or damage that can not be patched, replacement of the entire seat cover may be necessary.
- Vinyl- Small punctures or rips can be patched using a vinyl repair kit.
-Paint– Many repairs can be simply cosmetic, making paint a solution, inside and out.
-Chains– After winter in Colorado and Nebraska, chains may need replacing.
-First Aid and Body Fluid Cleanup Kits
Although, the above items are the most commonly requested for repairs, there are many more that are necessary to insure child safety in your school bus fleet. Colorado/West Equipment, Inc and Nebraska/Central Equipment, Inc are here to assist you with your bus parts and maintenance needs.
