San Bernardino County, Calif., has completed the construction of a new fleet maintenance facility, replacing an existing leased facility that had become inadequate for fleet needs. The Victorville High Desert Service Center is one of six fleet facility and is used to service approximately 600 light-duty and 200 heavy-duty vehicles, said Ron Lindsey, CAFS, fleet management director.
“The facility was designed with expansion in mind,” Lindsey said. “The shop itself has a much larger capacity to handle work than the old facility (for future insourcing opportunities and growth).” He added that the site can be expanded with an on-site car wash and fuel site in the future if needed.
