Automotive News & Information - BB Automotive

At BB Automotive in Midland, TX, maintaining your fleet and keeping your business reliably on the road is our primary focus. As trucks wear out, and they always do, you will inevitably be faced with this dilemma - “Should I fix this truck, or replace it with a new one?” This isn’t always an easy question to answer. As your fleet specialists, our team here at BB Automotive is here to help you decide.

It’s easier than ever to keep your fleet running smoothly for thousands of miles.

It wasn’t that long ago that hitting the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer was a major milestone. Today, vehicles are built to last. With the proper maintenance and attention, there’s no reason you shouldn’t expect to see that 50,000-mile reading on the odometer one day roll right past 200,000 and keep ongoing. Here at BB Automotive, we're going to give you some tips on how to make that happen!
