VehiCare & POLARIS Laboratories Partner To Provide Oil Analysis And Preventive Maintenance Condition Monitoring

Charlotte, NC – Two maintenance industry leaders, VehiCare and POLARIS Laboratories, have joined forces to offer additional value in oil analysis, announcing a diagnostic tool for evaluating and monitoring the lubricant conditions for fleet equipment applications, improving engine life and overall reliability.

VehiCare, LLC, a leader in on-site preventive maintenance solutions, and POLARIS Laboratories, LLC, a leader in oil testing and data analysis services, today announced a strategic alliance that will provide clients and customers the ability to analyze and view the condition of the lubricant and identify major component wear and contamination.

"Lubrication is the livelihood of the equipment and superior analysis can provide you a snapshot of what is happening inside," states James Overstreet, VehiCare President & CEO. "Providing customers an analyzed observation of the inside of their equipment not only maximizes equipment life and performance, but also saves time and money by identifying minor problems before they become major failures."

Sample test kits are offered through VehiCare's customer service hotline and include multiple checks for engine and non-engine components, as well as testing for elemental metals, and oil viscosity.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, and also strategically located in Houston, TX, and Salt Lake City, UT, POLARIS Laboratories, LLC, provides complete testing and analysis for oils, fuels, coolants, and water-based fluids.

"We share in VehiCare's goal of providing trucking fleet customers with quality preventive maintenance products and services they can depend on," said Bryan Debshaw, POLARIS Laboratories CEO. "POLARIS Laboratories are ISO 17025 A2LA accredited - the highest level of quality attainable by a testing laboratory - which simply reinforces our shared commitment to meeting our customers’ highest expectations."
