Decisiv Commercial Vehicle Service Analysis Highlight
In Q1 2026, combined parts and labor costs in the Decisiv Commercial Vehicle Service Analysis Report decreased by -3.0%. The drop in Quarter-over-Quarter (QoQ) combined expenses included -4.6% lower parts costs and a -0.6% reduction in labor costs. This is the second consecutive quarterly decline, following a -1.1% drop in Q4 2025. Lower costs in Q1 2026 are in contrast to a strengthening freight market during the same period as higher freight volumes generally translate to increased mileage and subsequently higher service costs.
