Question 1
The importance of fleet maintenance by discussing some of the compelling
arguments on the value of vehicle maintenance.
Auto maintenance describes the act of inspecting or testing the condition of
car subsystems and serivicing or replacing parts and fluids. Regular
maintenance is critical to ensure the safety, reliability, drivability, comfort and
longevity of a car. During preventive maintenance, a number of parts are
replaced to avoid major damage or for safety reasons for example the
replacement of a timing belt.
The amount of fleet maintenance that will be necessary is determined by legal
requirements and the manufacturers specifications. It also varies between
modes. The purpose of maintenance is to ensure the efficient and safe
operation of vehicles and equipment. Effective management of the
maintenance function is therefore vitally important to ensure safety, to contain
maintenace costs and to minimise breakdowns during service.
The following are some of the compelling arguments on the value of vehicle
maintenance:
By carefully maintaining your vehicle, you increase driving safety.
One can be the world’s most effective and skilful driver but with a rotten
ride him and his vehicle become accident-prone. Every year, thousands of
accidents are a result of negligence. It is not just bad driving that causes
accidents, in fact when it comes to the majority of automobile accidents
around the world, it might be faulty brake systems, worn wiper blades and
tyres, exhaust build-ups and leaking gas tanks to blame.
You help reduce pollution with vehicle maintenance.
Most countries around the world have anti-smoke belching campaigns to help
save the environment. Each year, the vehicle’s noxious emissions contribute
directly to global pollution. A well-maintained vehicle will easily limit the
amount of dangerous fumes and automotive fluids released into the air and
local water tables.
Lowers operational cost.
A well-maintained car wouldn’t need too many repairs.
Meaning, Terrence won’t have to keep on heading to your car mechanic and
ordering car parts or truck accessories if he keeps his vehicle in excellent
condition.
In case Terrence do decide to sell the company’s used vehicle, he is going to
get a better price.
Most buyers value excellent vehicle performance and condition over the car
model. So it only follows that a well maintained five year old vehicle is going to
