Every growing business aspires to have a large fleet of vehicles at some point. As customer demand increases, you’ll need to take on more commercial vehicles and employees. Managing your vehicle maintenance and repairs can take a lot of time out of your already busy schedule which is where John Delany Motors comes in.

Our fleet management service takes the hassle out of managing your Stockport business fleet by scheduling your servicing and MOT needs based on each of your individual vehicles. Our online system sends text and email reminders for each vehicle for MOT tests, servicing, brake discs and pads, timing belt replacement and much more.

You can keep track of everything happening to your vehicles when they are in our garage via your dedicated customer service advisor, and we prioritise getting your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible- we know how important your fleet is to the running of your business.  

Here’s how our fleet maintenance service can help keep your vehicles running better for longer. 

Keeps Drivers Safe

The leading cause of workplace fatalities in the United States is motor vehicle crashes. Although we’re on the other side of the ocean, accidents are still a regular occurrence and keeping your vehicles well-maintained can help to prevent this.

One part of keeping your drivers safe is getting the right training and hiring qualified employees but the other major part is regular vehicle maintenance and repair. 

If the car breaks down on the road or has some kind of critical failure, there isn’t much a driver can do. Additionally, you don’t want the driver getting stuck on the side of the road for hours waiting for a tow truck. 

Reduces Operational Costs

Regular fleet maintenance will lead to lowered costs overall. One of the significant spending areas in your fleet maintenance budget is replacing vehicles that are no longer operational or road-worthy.

It’s often much more affordable to replace car parts when they break down than to get a whole new vehicle. By keeping up with regular repairs, your vehicles are likely to last much longer as they have been regularly maintained. For example, replacing your oil on a routine service helps to protect other engine parts and will almost certainly give your vehicle a longer engine life.

Even something as simple as cleaning commercial vehicles and making sure your bodywork is in a good condition will show future customers and business partners that you take pride in the appearance of your vehicle and also in your business.

It’s worth noting that we offer a free wash with every vehicle service we perform, whether that’s an interim, full or manufacturer’s service.

Improve Productivity

Vehicles that are in for regular repairs or that break down all the time will have a big impact on the productivity of your business. On average, a larger repair can take between two to five days to complete. If this is a regular occurrence throughout your fleet, then you’re experiencing a lot more downtime than you should. 

A fleet management strategy should always include regular servicing due on mileage and age if the vehicle and yearly MOT test. An MOT is a mandatory test to show that your car is roadworthy whereas a service is optional but keeps your vehicle running at its optimum.

Retain Employees

A factor that often goes overlooked when it comes to fleet management is employee satisfaction. Drivers want their vehicles to feel smooth on long drives and not require any emergency repairs. Breakdowns and accidents can result in late deliveries and put drivers at risk. 

Fleet vehicles that receive routine maintenance should be much safer to drive, which in turn means happier employees.
