Vehicle Maintenance & Management for Smaller Fleets
It’s a proven fact that a good preventive maintenance program will save you money on repairs and reduce vehicle down time. You know this to be true but you don’t have the personnel or resources to organize and implement a good vehicle management program. Now you do.
Maintenance, Repair and Management
Each vehicle or driver is issued a National Account Card administered by the Network, a unit of the largest fleet management company in the world. This card is used for minor repairs and routine maintenance.
A spending limit on the card is set by you. Costs that exceed the spending limit need your authorization.
Preventive maintenance. A good preventive maintenance program helps eliminate the need for expensive extended warranties that may never be used. Your enrolled vehicles each have a preventive maintenance schedule. Preventive maintenance schedules are customized for each vehicle based on mileage intervals.
Unscheduled maintenance. Mechanical issues and other repairs are managed by in-house ASC certified technicians who'll take charge of the situation ensuring the correct service is performed at the right price.
A toll free number connects drivers to the service center that's open 24/7 every day of the year. All repairs, parts, tire purchases, etc. have contracted prices with a national network of service providers. The work is paid for by Network and the invoices are audited for accuracy.
If you prefer a local shop to perform your work they may be authorized by the Network as a service provider.
At the end of the month you're billed for all the expenses your vehicles have incurred in a single, itemized invoice.
Fuel Management –Fuel cards allow drivers to purchase fuel nationwide by entering a secure PIN or driver ID and the vehicle’s current odometer reading at the pump. Monthly reports show you fuel and non-fuel purchases, multiple daily full-ups and over-filling of vehicle tank capacity, and more.
