GEFS Offers Quality Truck Repair
We Help Keep Your Business On The Road
From The Beginning … GEFS Truck Repair Service
Tim Delcid founded Golden Empire Fleet Service in 1983, specializing in Heavy Duty Truck Repair & Trailer Repair, with high hopes for the future of the company. He accomplished this goal not through hopes and wishes, but through hard work and dedication. Tim found himself at a turning point in his life. Having gotten laid off from his job with Getty Oil, he knew he had to do something. Tim still had a family at home depending on him, so refusing to just give up, he made a plan. He had experience with truck repair, so with the love and support of his wife Linda, Tim borrowed his dad’s 1972 Chevy pickup, loaded his tools in the back, and went knocking on doors. It was a struggle in the beginning, so much so that Linda used her baking expertise to make and sell cakes for all different occasions just to help pay the bills.
Slowly but surely, Tim grew the company into what it is today. Providing truck repair and maintenance services for industries like transportation companies, construction companies, fuel companies, oilfield companies, courier companies, school districts, and companies operating heavy duty diesel trucks and service trucks. Tim didn’t just stop there. To set himself apart from the rest he also offered roadside services, scheduled maintenance, BIT inspections, DOT inspections, on-site truck repair, and more. Finding quality truck repair and maintenance services is a simple process when you know where to look.
