Reasons to Track Vehicle Maintenance

Why you need to track vehicle and equipment maintenance:

To avoid downtime and expensive repairs due to missed maintenance.
To maximize fleet safety and avoid possible liability due to poorly managed maintenance.
To comply with all warranty requirements and legal inspection requirements and prove it.
To achieve the longest life possible from your vehicles.
Maximize resale value. According to CNN Money, the best way to ensure a buyer that your vehicle was properly maintained and cared for is through documentation. Taking care of your car's engine is great. But without proof, all that work won't be worth much at trade-in time.
Be much better informed and prepared to talk with your Service Advisor.
Avoid costly dealer or shop packages that often include unnecessary expenses. According to AAA auto club, "To make matters worse, some service shops have their own set of service guidelines that call for more frequent service than is recommended by the manufacturer."
Have a detailed history of maintenance performed, how much it cost, who did the work.
Know what scheduled maintenance your vehicles require and when it is needed.
Easily print out the maintenance history for any vehicle in your database.
With numerous scheduled items per vehicle, it is easy to miss a required due date unless FleetVIP is providing automatic reminders for you.
