The Economic Value of Fleet Service and Maintenance: Research Review

While it is true that fleet service and maintenance costs money, it is more of an investment than an expense. And with the Meadowvale Auto Repair Specialists on your side, it is an investment that pays dividends.

Read on to learn the true costs of fleet service and maintenance, and find out how MARS can help you treat your fleet for less, or call (905) 821-4992 to schedule a consultation right away.

Fleet Service And Maintenance Can Be Costly For Mississauga Businesses

According to a 2016 report by Fleet Financials, even a single flat tire can cost your business fleet an average of $338.42 per incident. This amount includes:

  • $91.32 wasted on wages while the driver waits at the roadside
  • $117 in vehicle downtime and lost opportunity
  • $130.10 in tire repair costs

What is more, while your driver waits at the roadside, you will probably have to send another employee out to keep the client happy, which effectively doubles your labour costs for that job.

Clearly, it is in your best interest to minimize tire failures, and the best way to do that is to stay on top of your tire upkeep with regular inspections, air pressure top-ups, tire rotations, and wheel balancing services, all of which you’ll find at MARS.

Of course, tire repairs are just one of the many fleet service and maintenance expenses you’ll need to cover. A proper fleet service and maintenance plan must leave room in the budget for transmission services, brake jobs, computer diagnostics, windshield replacements, DOT inspections, oil changes, maintenance record-keeping, and more.

These fleet service and maintenance obligations might seem a bit overwhelming, but MARS makes it easy to optimize upkeep without breaking the bank.

Save On Fleet Service And Maintenance In Mississauga

  • One-stop fleet service and maintenance. One-stop shops put time on the clock and money in your pocket, allowing you to check off your entire fleet maintenance to-do list with a single stop, and creating more opportunities for bundling discounts. Our technicians work with all vehicle types; we carry Mississauga’s largest selection of brand-name commercial tires and fleet vehicle parts; and we offer all the preventative maintenance, repair, and part replacement services you need to keep your fleet in shape.

    Additionally, if trouble strikes out on the long haul, we can bring our one-stop shop right to you at the roadside.

  • Reduce opportunity costs with free shuttles and loaner vehicles. Fleet service and maintenance typically comes with high opportunity costs, as drivers are forced to waste productive work hours sitting in the waiting room until their service is complete.

    But not when you take your fleet to MARS. As business owners ourselves, we understand how much you value your time, which is why we go above and beyond to eliminate opportunity costs by providing loaner vehicles and free shuttle services, so you can drop off your fleet vehicles and get right back to work.

  • Take advantage of exclusive fleet service and maintenance discounts. Not only do we participate in all the top brands’ seasonal rebate programs, but we also offer additional savings through our exclusive shop promotions. Bookmark our Promotions page and check back regularly so you don’t miss any deals.
  • Reduce the costs of quality with warrantied fleet service and maintenance. The term “costs of quality” (COQ) refers to any time or money spent preventing, detecting, and remediating issues related to quality. With fleet service and maintenance, it represents the amount spent on researching quality shops, booking, and service, as well as any extra time or money needed to spot and correct problems with parts or labour.

    When you choose MARS, you never have to worry about additional COQ, as our team is highly trained and experienced in fleet service and maintenance, and all parts and labour are covered by 24-months or 40,000km of driving—whichever comes first.
