Given that in many cases, the vehicle is now a workplace, car maintenance is now more than ever a mix of fit for purpose and fit for service.

Even though routine vehicle maintenance only makes up about 5% of total operating costs, it
is the most important thing you can do to keep your maintenance budget from being blown by
unexpected costs.

Vehicle service intervals used to be 10,000 km, but in recent years, as manufacturers sought
to lower the total cost of ownership they provided, service intervals have increased from
anywhere between 25% (12,500 km) and 50% (15,000 km), with some Indian vehicles going
up to 20,000 km.

Even though advancements in gasoline quality, lubricants, and engine design have all helped
to drive this increase, it’s crucial to keep in mind that routine vehicle inspections and
reporting are also crucial components of making sure you’re doing your job as a vehicle
provider.

As crucial as oil changes and washer bottle refills are, the brakes and bumpers should also be
checked to make sure they are in good working order.

Many auto managers have had trouble sleeping after “discovering” the condition of a vehicle
or, even worse, after getting a big bill for a major part that broke because scheduled
maintenance wasn’t done.

You’d be shocked at how many brand-new cars go between 20,000 and 30,000 kilometres
without a service.

Key Points to Remember:

• Vehicle operations should budget for routine maintenance.
• This covers parts like brakes, tyres, wiper blades, and batteries even though they are not
  particularly included in the service schedule.
• Service overruns are growing more and more serious.
• A vehicle that arrived 1,500 km after the deadline had still driven 10% longer than was
  advised.
• The existing prolonged service time, which now has less safety margin, is added to all of this.
• How many different things in your company might you defend if they were used 10% more
  than is advised?
• It’s important to service your car according to the manufacturer’s instructions if you want to
  keep your warranty and make sure your workplace is safe.
• Additionally, your service provider needs to examine other parts like the brakes, tyres, wiper
  blades, and batteries that might not be on the manufacturer’s maintenance plan but are still
  crucial for the vehicle’s safety.
• To lessen your risk as a vehicle provider, this is crucial.
• Staff assessments shouldn’t be your only source of information because they might not be
  qualified to do so.
