Yearly Maintenance Plan

A vehicle’s operating costs, number of breakdowns and trips to the workshop depends on how an owner chooses to maintain their vehicle. The vehicles used for your daily operations are your business’ lifeblood, so it’s important to keep them up and running. Waiting until your vehicle shows signs of trouble can seriously impact your productivity, and in turn, your bottom line.

Performing Preventative Maintenance on your car, means going ABOVE and BEYOND your regular oil service. It’s not just oil service, It’s a plan to prevent costly repairs. When you take the steps to not only service your car, but add preventative auto care, you’ll reap many benefits and rewards.

Preventative maintenance means that you’re checking out components on your car that are not typically part of the regular oil service. Preventative maintenance involves taking steps like inspecting the brakes, air conditioning performance, oil service, air filter replacement, power steering flush, Transmission Oil Flush, Brake Oil Flush, Coolant Flush, suspension check, ignition system check, fuel filter replacement and emissions system check. By maintaining these critical areas of your vehicle, you’ll see an improvement in the performance and the longevity of your vehicle.

How Planned Preventive Maintenance Works

Each vehicle is initially inspected and put through a comprehensive diagnostics before the car joins a Maintenance Plan. We then set the vehicle up on the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance schedule. For example, most car manufacturers suggest a car’s oil should be changed every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first, the transmission should be checked annually, and a general tune-up should be done once a year as well.

Why This Approach Works

Instead of taking a reactive approach to Vehicle maintenance, i.e. waiting for something to break before you maintain it, preventive maintenance plans allow you to take a proactive approach. If you check your Vehicle on a regular basis, you are more likely to catch small things and repair them before they become larger issues later. Preventive maintenance lowers the chances of losing productivity due to a malfunctioning or vehicle.

Other benefits to this approach include:

  • Setting up orders for replacement parts well in advance of when you will need them.
  • You can schedule inspections for down times and lessen the impact on production time
  • If you have several pieces of the same Vehicle, you can often get a volume discount for ordering parts in bulk
