What is fleet maintenance servicing?
If you’re a business owner with a large fleet of vehicles, you’ll be familiar with the terms fleet maintenance servicing and fleet servicing.
In simple terms, it’s the process of keeping your fleet on the road, in optimum working order, every day of the year. In appointing a garage to manage your fleet, you’re handing over the reins to them; for them to maintain, safeguard and keep your fleet moving without issues or concerns to you as the business owner.
Understanding when your fleet needs to be serviced is crucial in keeping your business moving. Each fleet requires a bespoke servicing and maintenance schedule, as every vehicle within the fleet is different. Choosing the right commercial fleet maintenance company is essential in maintaining a sense of order and reliability.
