Non-bias service provider is responsible for conducting a written 148 point inspection to exacting standards.

Each Select "SelectCertified" truck in our inventory is test driven by a "SelectCertified" technician. This person's sole responsibility is to put the truck through its paces, and identify potential problems that need to be addressed.

After the test drive, the vehicle is pulled into our on-site location, and the same "SelectCertified" technician that test drove the vehicle then conducts 148 point critical component test, inspections, and repairs of all major mechanical & cosmetic components. Based on our standardized "sales condition" policy, each inspection-point must either pass or fail. Any item or component that fails the stringent criteria set forth by Freightliner and SelecTrucks of Kansas City will then be scheduled for replacement or repair.

Each item that failed the "SelectCertified" inspection is repaired or replaced to OEM (Original Equipment Manufactures) specifications. These mechanical & cosmetic repairs are by far, the most costly and time consuming step of the "SelectCertified" process.

The frame & engine compartment are pressure washed to remove all excess grease and oil, and to ensure good paint adhesion.

Next, the truck is pulled into our on-site paint booth, prep'd painting, and then the frame & bumper are shot a deep, glossy black. If the truck has steel wheels, they are painted at this time.

Then, all exposed aluminum is polished - including all wheels. If the truck is a Classic XL, or any truck without side fairings, the fuel tanks will be polished to a mirror-like finish.

Next, the striping is removed from the cab, and it undergoes a two-stage compound/polishing process. This process restores the paint's original luster - the best it's looked since it rolled off the factory floor.

Finally, the interior is cleaned & detailed. The cabinets & dash are scrubbed to remove dirt & debris. Carpets, curtains, & seating surfaces are vacuumed and shampooed - removing most stains & odor. And, last but not least, both mirrors and the windshield are cleaned.
