The exhaust system in your truck plays a critical role not only for safety but also in minimizing the vehicle's environmental impact. The primary role of an exhaust system is to ensure harmful emissions don't accumulate within and around your truck.

A well-maintained exhaust system can also enhance your truck's fuel efficiency. At United Fleet Services in St. Louis, MO, our technicians possess the expertise to handle exhaust systems across all vehicles.

Due to the potential environmental and health risks associated with malfunctioning exhaust systems, there are rigorous governmental standards for fleet truck maintenance. To meet these requirements, our skilled mechanics employ advanced, computer-controlled diagnostic equipment.

Exhaust systems and emissions controls have seen significant advancements over the years. At United Fleet Services, we offer comprehensive maintenance services, from addressing simple issues like damaged pipes to intricate computer-driven procedures that regulate the fuel-to-air ratio.

While a well-functioning exhaust system contributes to a quieter engine, its primary value lies in the protection it offers to the environment and the health and safety of individuals in proximity.

Issues in the combustion process can lead to harmful emissions. For instance, a malfunctioning catalytic converter can result in the excessive release of noxious gases. Plus, exposure to challenging terrains and conditions might cause the exhaust system's components to rust or become dislodged.
