If you run more than three vehicles, you've already noticed the servicing cost isn't on the invoice. It's in the two-day gap between drop-off and pick-up, the Uber home, the job you pushed back because the ute was still at the shop.
The hidden invoice
For a tradie ute earning $1,600 a day, one day off the tools is more expensive than the entire service. Multiply that across a five-van fleet and your 'cheap' workshop is the most expensive service you're running.
What on-site actually means
We come to your yard, your office, or your depot. Parts pre-ordered against the fleet VIN list. Two techs, three vehicles per morning, 90-minute standard service window. The tradies hand us keys at smoko, pick them back up at lunch.
The compliance problem we see weekly
Most fleets we take over have three or four vehicles overdue on logbook services. Not because anyone's lazy — because nobody had time to pull the ute off-site. Overdue service is a warranty problem, an insurance problem, and an audit problem waiting to happen.
A rolling on-site schedule fixes the compliance problem without anyone having to think about it.
Pricing that makes sense
For fleets of 5+ vehicles, we run a flat per-vehicle-per-month rate that covers scheduled servicing, logbook stamping, and minor repairs caught during inspection. One consolidated monthly invoice, all service records in PDF.
What it looks like when it works
Twelve months in, our fleet clients have current logbooks across every vehicle, zero service-related downtime, and usually a lower insurance premium at renewal because the insurer can see the records. The program pays for itself inside the first six months.
