Take a couple of photos of the part you need. If the replacement part is a component of a more complex system such as A/C, include pictures of information tags often found under the hood. Sometimes items have the model and serial numbers on them, which should also be noted and included with your request.
As a car owner, there is a good chance you have already experienced this very frustrating situation where you try to explain to your mechanic a weird sound your car makes every time you turn left…
Well, buses are no exception! If it happens, take a moment to record the sound with a phone and note a short description of when it occurred (driving on smooth/rough road, vehicle running/off, weather and temperature conditions, etc. Our Bus Part Specialists understand and can decipher bus talk! So don’t hesitate to send us every piece of info you collected; the more detailed, the easier it will be to determine the cause of the concern. If a deeper investigation is needed, we can send one of our Mobile Techs to do a test drive to pinpoint where the sound is coming from and find the proper repair or part to fix your bus.
Find your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Each bus brand has design specificities; that’s why most spare parts are called application parts, as opposed to generic parts. A vehicle identification number (VIN) is a unique code assigned to every motor vehicle when it’s manufactured. This 17-character string of letters and numbers is unique to your bus, and it will help us ensure you receive a part that fits your bus. If you bought your bus from Crestline, our Parts Specialist will have access to your bus records and consult details about any customizations or options that may impact the repair you’re trying to achieve.
