Most fleet managers know that vehicle maintenance takes two forms: scheduled and unscheduled. In the same way that regularly scheduled health checkups can detect and fix minor medical problems before they become big ones, scheduled preventive maintenance can help prevent, detect, and repair small problems before they become serious and expensive issues.
On the other hand, unscheduled checkups — for both you and your vehicles — usually only happen after some sort of breakdown. They’re almost always more expensive than routine checkups, involve significant “downtime,” and may have been prevented with routine, preventive maintenance.
