Breakdowns cost far more than services. A schedule you actually follow is the cheapest insurance a fleet can have.
A vehicle that breaks down loses a day of income, needs an emergency repair and often a tow. A planned service costs less and happens when it suits you. The trick is a schedule simple enough that it really gets followed.
Every shift: a quick check
Tyres, lights, brakes, oil and water, mirrors, and any warning lights. Two minutes before driving catches most problems early. Handova's start-of-shift check asks the driver to tick each item and note any problem.
Every service: by distance or by time
Follow the maker's interval, for example every 10,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Write down the date and odometer reading of each service, so the next one is easy to plan.
Every year: papers
Insurance, licence, roadworthiness or fitness certificate and permits. An expired paper can stop a vehicle as surely as a broken engine. Handova reminds you before each one expires, with the local names for your country.
Keep a log of every repair
What was done, what it cost, and the odometer reading. Over time this shows which vehicles cost too much to keep.
Use a garage you trust
A regular garage that knows your vehicles saves time and money. The Handova network lists garages and tyre shops that serve fleets, with offers for Handova customers.
