Maintenance and Repairs
Vehicles That Work Create Savings
Downtime is hazardous to a fleet's health. An idle truck with an OUT-OF-ORDER sign on the windshield means no orders— and no revenue—for its owner. Fleets that are lax in enforcing PM schedules or repairing vehicle damage, that neglect to cash in on available rebates and discounts, or fail to halt repair shop overcharges, lose out on real savings that can lower the cost of maintenance dramatically.

Our Total Management System® can help. TMS puts clients in control of maintenance and creates savings that today average 10%-25%. Our TMS strategies include:

  maintenance
  • Preventive maintenance that lowers the cost of repairs later in a vehicle's life.
  • Controlled authorization to prevent shop overcharges and unnecessary repairs.
  • Lower contracted pricing through National Account facilities and effective vendor management. Both can generate long-term savings.
  • Post-warranty claims and field adjustments which save money by securing proper parts and labor pricing, negotiating discounts with independent vendors, getting vendors to cover repeat repairs and cashing in on the manufacturer's warranties.
 
  • Effective vehicle cycling that helps cut maintenance expenses.

For starters, ARI maintenance specialists look at client "spend," the work being done for the money, trends and problem areas—all of which tell us if that maintenance operation is on track or in trouble. Once we identify the problems, we fix them. Today those fixes are improving vehicle performance, lengthening fleet life and generating significant TCO savings for clients.
