The Fleet Services division is committed to providing municipal fleet repair and maintenance to Village-owned vehicles and equipment to ensure the availability of a long-lasting, reliable, and cost effective fleet, with emphasis on minimizing effects on the environment.
We provide these services to approximately 312 pieces of village owned vehicles and equipment. Roughly 100 are clean air units. The services provided to our respective divisions include preventive maintenance, repair services, fabrication services, new vehicle specification, purchasing, surplus, product support and training.
Fleet Services employs four highly trained technicians each having the experience and expertise to provide all of the services. We have 7 working service bays and 5 lifts.
We are committed to investigating future options in transportation, alternative fuels and cleaner running vehicles.
Below are several interesting links to help our citizens locate resources on waste disposal and some to foster the idea of cleaner transportation alternatives.
The Village employs a Low Voltage Mechanic whose primary
responsibility is to upfit police vehicles. This position
also handles the upfitting of new Village-owned vehicles,
including snow-fighting vehicles. Having this role in-house
has greatly improved efficiency in keeping emergency
vehicles on the road and in optimal working condition.
In recent years, many communities have struggled to find
outside vendors to provide these services. By maintaining
this position, the Village has been able to ensure timely
upfitting and is now working to offer this service to
surrounding communities as well. For more information about
this position or upfitting services, please contact Public
Works at 630.260.6040.
In addition, the Village's Fleets Division oversees the
lease program through Enterprise. This program has helped
improve the average age of the fleet, increased efficiency,
and freed up capital for other projects and services.
Leasing vehicles and equipment through Enterprise has
streamlined operations by managing costs more effectively
and ensuring that Village vehicles and equipment remain
up-to-date. This flexible program allows the Village to meet
operational needs without a heavy upfront investment.
