Creating a Comprehensive Preventive Maintenance Checklist

While we tailor every preventative maintenance plan, developing a robust strategy involves key steps and checks that our experts perform:

PM Strategy Development:

• **Consult the Vehicle Manual:** We begin by reviewing the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance and repair intervals.
• **Determine Frequency:** We establish a precise schedule for each task based on your fleet’s specific usage (mileage, hours, operating conditions).
• **Develop a Record-Keeping System:** We create a system to track, document, and evaluate your preventative maintenance history to demonstrate compliance and asset health.

Comprehensive PM Checklist Tasks:

Our comprehensive checklist goes beyond simple oil changes, covering every critical component for optimal commercial vehicle operation:

• Engine oil and filter changes & Transmission fluid checks.
• Fuel system maintenance & Cooling system checks.
• Engine and transmission mounts & Drive shafts/CV joints inspection.
• Belts and hoses replacement & Full tune-ups.
• Electrical system component testing (Battery, Alternator, Starter).
• **Complete Braking System Maintenance** (Air and Hydraulic).
• Steering, suspension, tire, wheel, and rim maintenance.
• Exhaust system checks & Undercarriage and frame inspections.
• Exterior/interior light maintenance, body, glass, mirror, wiper, horn, and seat belt checks.

Implementing and Evaluating Your Preventative Maintenance Plan

Once your plan is developed, successful implementation and ongoing tracking are key. Our partnership ensures you consistently implement your plan and track the results. We regularly review and evaluate your plan to:

• Identify areas for improvement based on vehicle performance data.
• Adjust the frequency of tasks based on real-world wear and tear.
• Add or remove tasks as required by vehicle model, age, or commercial use.
