Preventative Maintenance – Reducing Repair Costs

ORLANDO, Fla. - Aug. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- As the economy starts to recover, we are seeing more vehicles coming in for overdue service. At the same time we are finding more repairs that are now necessary due to neglected maintenance.  Our customers are many times alarmed at the repair costs they are incurring and want to know what they can do to reduce them, this even includes our fleet customers. 

 The best advice we can offer is pretty simple. Get all your vehicles on a preventive maintenance schedule and stick to it. We are able to spot minor problems early and prevent them from becoming major ones.

 Our Techs here at City Garage (http://Citygaragefla.com) rebuild engines and transmissions every week that in many instances could have been prevented if the vehicles had been properly maintained and inspected on a regular basis. It is such a simple solution. We ask…”Why have we not seen the vehicles before we had to dispatch the tow truck?” There are two main reasons we hear.

   1.            The customer was too busy

   2.            The customer was concerned that we would find some expensive repairs

 Did you know that we can put all of your vehicles on a PM (preventative maintenance) schedule that will remind that it is time to service and inspect individual vehicles?

This means WE will e-mail or call to remind YOU.

 Once you sign up for our PM program and register your vehicles, we will notify you when it is time to service and inspect each vehicle. Did you know that we will pick up your vehicle, change the oil (using a synthetic blend) and rotate the tires for $59 and provide you with a FREE diagnostic condition report?

 Knowing the condition of your vehicles and making wise choices about if and when to do any recommended repairs is what the PM Service is all about.  You always have three choices:

   1.            Do the minor repairs now

   2.            Schedule the repairs at a later time when you have money in the budget

   3.            Ignore the recommendations and keep driving it as is

If you choose option #3, you will save money in the short term but your driver may end up being someone who gets a ride back to work in a tow truck! You decide.

 REMEMBER THIS: As the person responsible for maintaining your vehicles, knowing the condition of each vehicle is the critical part of the job. Surprises are usually expensive and a big inconvenience.
