Servicing And Maintenance
Financial Savings
We use the collective size of our clients’ fleets and our extensive knowledge of the vehicle maintenance industry to save you money with scheduled servicing and all maintenance repairs.
Having poorly maintained vehicles soon leads to:
- Increased running costs
- Loss of manufacturers warranty cover
- Poor reliability leading to unscheduled downtime for vehicles and drivers
- Breaches of the duty of care legislation and vulnerability to personal and corporate prosecution
- Low sale prices when you dispose of vehicles at the end of their working life.
Clearly prevention is always better than cure.
Using data from vehicle manufacturers, we ensure that recommended service work times are adhered to and ensure that unnecessary work is eliminated with parts changed only at the end of their serviceable lifetime - we also ensure that repairers do not charge for expensive sundries unless they are actually needed.
Reducing labour rates and controlling service and repair times have contributed to UK Fleet Solutions saving an average of 25% on the fleet costs for our clients during the last 12 months alone.
Time Savings
When your fleet is covered by UK Fleet Solutions, it is not simply financial savings that we deliver. We understand that "time is money" and it can often be very difficult for businesses to quantify how much time is spent on fleet matters. This can be one of the reasons that it does not command the attention that its potential savings should demand.
The huge amount of time that can be saved for Directors, Senior Managers and Employees, over a year is even more important when we consider the opportunity cost of skilled people not doing what they are best able to do.
We have analysed the time spent on fleet activities for a leased fleet of 100 vehicles and this exceeds 1000 hours per annum – this naturally represents a substantial cost to any business.
Other ways we help to save time include:
- Priority Booking Service - for all servicing and maintenance matters your employees can call our National Call centre on one convenient number and our trained staff will efficiently deal with all their needs.
- Mobile Tyre Fitting - instead of sending you to the tyre fitter, we send the tyre fitter to you. This way your drivers can continue with their day unaffected, wherever they may be in the country.
- One-Stop Shop – means that all aspects of your fleet operations can be handled through one point of contact also saving on administration by receiving one comprehensive invoice for all vehicle related issues.
- Vehicle Pick-Up and Return - with courtesy wash and vacuum - minimising the amount of downtime. This can be done from workplace or home, whichever is more convenient.
- While U Wait - drop-in facility to rectify minor faults such as wiper blades, bulb replacement and fluid level top-ups.
- Bodywork And Accident Repairs - our accident management service will deal with all of the administration of your claim and offers you a free, like for like, loan car from day one.
- Reminders for MOTs
When your vehicles need attention, simply book them in with our national call centre.
Our trained maintenance controllers will select the appropriate service centre, based on your pre agreed maintenance preferences, and ensure that the specified work is carried out to the manufacturer’s standards. Your service book will be stamped so that any warranty is maintained and your vehicle will receive a courtesy "wash n vac".
