Family-owned Golka Electric relies on InSite OilChange for fleet service in Phoenix.

Fleet service in Phoenix, AZ

For more than 40 years, Golka Electric has worked with Phoenix homeowners and home builders to integrate custom electrical systems and lighting control units for both custom homes and renovation projects. Whether it’s custom window shade controls to protect you from the blazing Arizona sun or a one-of-a-kind lighting installment, Golka Electric will provide a custom solution for your family’s home.

It’s no secret that the Phoenix housing market continues the growth it’s enjoyed for the last 50 years. But what you may not know is that Golka Electric has grown right along with it. One of the driving forces behind the explosion in our housing market was a steep increase in big businesses blooming out of the Arizona desert. That’s why in 1983, Golka Electric incorporated into a fully-fledged electrical firm servicing an always-rising number of businesses in the greater Phoenix area.

Shocking Demand for Fleet Service in Phoenix

Golka Electric keeps 12 service vehicles plugging away in the field most days. Throughout the year, these trucks and vans are driven to and from job sites by as many as 16 electrical specialists. During the busiest of times, these experts may be called upon to use their know-how in five jobs a day.

Beth Golka, a woman of many talents at Golka Electric, has been with the company for over 30 years. In that time, she’s done everything from human resources to accounting to managing the fleet.

Taking on the role of fleet manager, Beth became aware of the daily engine usage in her fleet. She knows that the engines can be ruined over time unless they are properly serviced. Vehicle time lost to service adds up quickly and expensively, but even worse, the value of her most importantasset—Golka Electric’s team of electrical technicians—with every hour their vans and trucks are out of commission.

When a member of her team takes a vehicle out for maintenance (leaving the office to go out to the job site, then taking the vehicle out to the local oil change location, and finally getting back to the job again), her company loses up to four billable hours of her employees’ time each time. Multiply that by twelve vehicles, and it’s immediately apparent that Golka Electric loses almost two weeks’ worth of labor hours each and every quarter just to keep its fleet in good working order.

Who Offers Fleet Service in Phoenix? Switch on Google for the Answer!

When you’re a small company, you’re always searching to do more with less. Less equipment. Less time. Less of everything.

But it wasn’t until June of 2015 that Beth took decisive action. Knowing that they were wasting time and money with their current maintenance strategy, she did what most of us would do—she searched for a solution using Google!

She quickly found InSite OilChange near the top of the search results and didn’t hesitate to contact Steve to schedule the best fleet service in Phoenix.

What keeps Golka Electric relying on InSite OilChange every quarter? Here’s a short list of the TLC their vehicles receive four times a year:

  1. The InSite OilChange team performs an oil change for every vehicle in Golka Electric’s fleet. Not only do they perform the basic oil change, but they also lubricate the chassis and driveline.
  2. When a Golka Electric vehicle needs brake fluid or power steering fluid, InSite OilChange tops them off.
  3. Though it might be needed only once every few months, InSite OilChange tops off the Golka Electric fleet’s transmission fluid, too.
  4. InSite OilChange replaces their windshield washer fluid when it runs out and wiper blades when they wear out. (It’s hard to believe we ever need that done here in the desert, but we do.)
  5. Nothing can ruin a business owner’s day quicker than a flat tire on a vital work vehicle. InSite OilChange knows this well—and that’s why Golka Electric trusts InSite OilChange to keep the tires at the right air pressure and report anything wrong with their fleet’s tires. The tires just need a quick rotation? No problem—that’s one of InSite OilChange’s services. And if it’s time to get some new (or gently used) tires, InSite OilChange can recommend the best solution for the company’s current and future needs.
  6. When the Golka Electric fleet needs new air filters, InSite OilChange can install good ones.
  7. Preventative maintenance on a vehicle must include checking out the belts and hoses. That’s why these are just two more preventative measures that InSite OilChange provides to all its clientele.
  8. If there’s one benefit that Beth attributes to InSite OilChange, it’s her newfound peace of mind. She knows that her fleet will be running smoothly all day—every day—for the next few months because of the services InSite OilChange provides.

Lights-Out Fleet Service in Phoenix

After losing months of expensive company time driving from a job site to a local oil-lube shop, Golka Electric took matters into their own hands and lent the keys to InSite OilChange.

“We definitely recommend using Steve and InSite OilChange,” Beth says. “InSite OilChange is really trustworthy, reliable and organized. A real plus for Golka Electric.”
