“Eka has been using the services of Rick Breznik for a year and a half. We have found him particularly useful in setting up our fleet maintenance database for different car types. Rick recently worked with one of our largest lessors to establish guidelines for reconditioning and inspecting cars. Going forward, we believe his efforts will save us considerable out of service time and the related cost.”
