After reading Lauren Fletcher’s “Is Retirement in Fleet Now More Like ‘Rewiring’?” column, I told her she was spot on. Fleet definitely gets under your skin, as you work with great people and businesses and support a segment that is critical in driving the economy.

After nearly three decades at GM and retiring as vice president of GM’s fleet operations at the end of 2024, I chose to “rewire,” joining BG Products to help drive new levels of support for fleet customers.

BG’s product lineup and business philosophy strongly align with how fleet managers focus on their business:

• Increasing uptime
• Reducing maintenance expenses
• Strengthening resale values

I saw a clear opportunity to help companies optimize their fleet operations.

BG Enhanced Maintenance products are engineered to keep fleet vehicles operating as designed.

With hundreds of aftermarket products available, fleet operators struggle to determine which best protect their investment. Trusted by dealerships, independent shops, and OEMs, such as ACDelco and Motorcraft, BG Enhanced Maintenance is backed by rigorous OEM-level testing.

This allows fleet managers to choose maintenance solutions with clarity and confidence.

Preventing Fuel & Incomplete Combustion Issues

Inconsistent or impure fuel can lead to incomplete combustion, causing fuel injector and valve issues, oil consumption, overheating, and more. Carbon deposits are present in virtually all gas and diesel ICE powertrains.

The good news is that BG Enhanced Maintenance performed during routine service intervals helps fleet operators:

• Restore lost compression, power, torque, and fuel efficiency.
• Offset the impact of inconsistent fuel quality.
• Reduce major repair downtime, drive greater fleet readiness, and boost resale values.

I encourage fleet operators to contact me with any service issues they may be experiencing so BG Products can help improve their fleet operations.
