These business owners know that any downtime has an immediate effect on their bottom line and that it is essential that damaged vehicles be repaired as quickly and in as cost effective manner as possible. Where cost effectiveness is the difference between a company that flourishes in tough economic times and one which perishes many transport company owners are turning to used truck spares as a solution to maintenance problems.
