Realistic maintenance

[Camshaft_21_02]

Hey everyone, I've been playing awhile and lately i have been looking at the maintenance areas of the trucks and trailers, as i'm a heavy vehicle mechanic i'm curious to see if there's a mod for realistic maintenance (service schedules A,B,or C services and or brake adjustments) ect.. on the vehicles that we can add to make maintaining our vehicles to standards more realistic, or if anyone has heard of these sorts of things coming into the main game?

Cheers

As far as we have heard, SCS has no public plans for adding more involved maintenance of trucks to the game. As a service tech myself for Commercial Trucks, oil changes, grease, tires, filters, inspections, light mechanical work, etc, I'd love to see more involvement in those areas in the game.

However, I feel ATS/ETS2 is not that type of game. While the game is whatever you envision it to be, it is not the same for everyone. And for me, it's about driving commercial vehicles across a United States look-a-like. It is not the type of game for that depth of involvement in the underside of a truck. It's a very specific, very niche, type of gameplay and I don't believe SCS intends on going deeper.

I think they could add "AdBlue". there are already independent gauges that show fuel and AdBlue.
also, there's a function for engine power decrease when AdBlue is low.


But It's better not to hope for anything else.

I had an idea about garages for in game. Basically they have no function now other than A place to put people and trucks. Maybe get some gas.

My thought was to open up repairs at your own garage. The caveat…you have to order the parts wait for delivery they won’t be available for a set period of time. Once start repair truck will not be available for a set period of time. The benefit….repairs would be cheaper because you do it yourself. Not that money is a factor in game.

I always felt the management part of the game could be a lot better. Reports, maintenance, etc.

There are sure some other area that the garage can be used for as well.

I agree you should be able to get repairs done at your garage. I mean it is a garage... lol
But I guess is like the sleeper trucks, you cant just rest anywhere like in real life.

I too wish that your garage could be a repair depot as well. Maybe you can't change cabs, or chassis in your garage, but things like replacing engines, adding mods, or maintenance would make them more useful to me

I would like to see at the very least, A payroll and supply payment on every saturday for every garage. after 10 million money is useless so lets spend it , say for immersion sake .. we have 1 secretary to email documents to me the driver/owner and she manages shop and dispatches loads from her garage, we have 1 yard,maintenance cleaning person, We contract a food vendor company to supply vending machines and food. we have a cleaner to clean drivers lounge, change the 2 bedrooms linnen and towels also cleans shower and kitchen . we have 1 mechanic for safety inspections and grease and oil and adjustments . A total of 4 workers and supplies and a vendor contract cost each garage would vary on bank account. my cost per week about $6000. of course in your company do as you want. When you drive in a large garage there is steps on left going into above mentioned rooms.
