Mech IQ by QuickMechs helps you reduce fleet breakdowns by ranking every vehicle with a health score. The vehicles most likely to fail rise to the top, so you fix them before they stop on the road.
Here is why that matters.
7:40 a.m. A box truck stalls on the highway with a full day of deliveries on board.
By 9:00, you have paid for a tow, called a rental company and apologized to three customers. Later, the driver mentions the warning light had been on for a week.
The warning was there. It was just not anywhere your team could see it.

Why breakdowns keep surprising fleets
- Warning lights get ignored. Drivers do not know which ones matter.
- Driver reports get lost. A text to a supervisor is not a repair order.
- No one sees the whole fleet. Without a ranking, every vehicle gets the same attention.
- Breakdowns are expensive. Industry estimates put unplanned downtime at $448 to $760 per vehicle per day for commercial fleets.
The fix: a ranked list, updated every week
You cannot inspect every vehicle every day. You can look at the ten with the lowest health scores.
A low score is an early warning. It brings together the warning light, the driver’s complaint and the last inspection, so you can act before the breakdown.

How to reduce fleet breakdowns in 3 steps
1. Score every vehicle. A quick phone inspection gives each one a starting score.
2. Review the bottom ten every Monday. Those are your most likely breakdowns this week.
3. Fix them in planned slots. A planned repair at your yard costs far less than a tow from the highway.

Quick questions
How do we know which vehicle will break down next? No one can know for sure. The lowest health scores show where the risk is highest.
How often should we check scores? Review the lowest scores weekly. Re-score any vehicle when a driver reports a problem.
Do we need new hardware? No. Mech IQ works from photos and simple questions.
