Bayabulela Jolobe | 17 June 2022 | Using Fixxr, Business Vehicle Maintenance
There are more questions than answers regarding fleet management and vehicle repair. Like most fleet managers, you want to ensure your business stays mobile. But as your vehicle list grows, so does the amount of time it takes to track repairs for each vehicle. It’s tedious to communicate personally with the mechanic servicing your vehicle. You also have to manually figure out what costs you should be charging back to the company. Then, when it’s time to invoice costs that have been incurred after the period of service is completed, that can take hours or days.
You’re one step away from running a more efficient business fleet.
With Fixxr, you can request on-demand roadside repairs and maintenance services at any time of the day or night. Our technicians are available seven days a week, so you can receive service when it best suits you and your employees.
We offer all services that a traditional garage does – but without the inconvenience of driving your vehicle to an auto shop. Our mobile mechanics will come directly to your location whenever you require assistance.
Each service provided by Fixxr is covered by our six-month / 10 000 km warranty. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that our work is always done to the highest standard possible.
Fixxr Mobile Mechanics also has a dedicated customer service team to care for each business’s unique requirements, including setting up corporate accounts for easy payments and maintenance reminders for busy schedules.
There are numerous ways Fixxr can help your business increase fleet utilization and reduce downtime, including our emergency service. Fixxr allows you to schedule maintenance and avoid unexpected problems before they arise, such as by monitoring the amount of road kilometres a vehicle has travelled since its last service, when it is due for its next service, or when the tyres will need to be replaced.
Fleet utilization is also increased through regular maintenance. Any problems that might occur can be fixed remotely rather than in a garage. This should improve vehicle availability and allow maximum use of the vehicles in your fleet. By reducing downtime and maximizing the utilization of your fleet, you will inevitably reduce costs and improve the efficiency of your business.
If your business is growing rapidly, our technicians can scale along with it. We have the resources to service your entire fleet, regardless of size or location. Whether you’re a small- or medium-sized business with a few dozen cars or a large retailer with thousands of vehicles across dozens of locations, we can provide quality repair and preventative maintenance faster than any other provider. With Fixxr Mobile Mechanics in your network, you can rest easy knowing that your vehicles are maintained to the highest standard.
As a Fixxr Mobile Mechanics client, you get complete access to high-tech tools that improve the performance of your fleet.
Our computerized preventive maintenance system allows us to predict your vehicle’s maintenance needs, which helps keep your fleet running and reduces the chances of breakdowns. We give you access to your records to check the status of any job or work order online at any time. We also track your fleet’s service history and provide free preventative maintenance reminders via email or phone. Finally, we offer a single point of contact for all your fleet maintenance needs—instead of dealing with multiple vendors, simply call us, and we will take care of everything.
When you sign up with Fixxr, our mechanics can care for your service needs without passing on many overhead costs associated with operating a physical shop. On top of that, our technicians work on a much faster turnaround time than traditional mechanics; they can get in and out while saving you money by using only the parts needed to complete the job and avoiding any unnecessary wait time or add-ons. Finally, we use technology to reduce costs and make it easier for customers to quickly find pricing information.
Where your business has multiple vehicles needing servicing, we can offer price reductions for booking multiple appointments or signing up for regular maintenance programs. As a result, your employees will save money on their vehicle repairs. You’ll save even more money because the cost is built into your fleet maintenance program.
Fixxr’s pricing is lower than traditional mechanics’ prices because we pass those savings to our customers.
Your vehicles must be in good working condition to keep your business running smoothly.
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of any vehicle. You can prevent costly repairs and significant breakdowns by ensuring that you stay on top of routine maintenance checks. Along with preventing breakdowns, regular maintenance can also help improve your vehicle’s performance.
Not only does regular maintenance help you avoid costly repairs, but it’s also a legal requirement for a vehicle to be roadworthy and safe. This means that all cars must have their service and registration due dates up to date to be used legally on the road.
Having your fleet serviced regularly means that any minor issues will be detected early on before they become more significant problems that require costly repairs down the track. Fixxr can help simplify this process by inspecting and servicing at any location that suits you best.
Mobile Mechanics will save you money and a lot of time. You can book the service at a convenient time and place, and the mechanics can attend to your fleet maintenance needs. Mobile Mechanics will come to your home or office and repair or service your vehicle on-site. This saves you from taking your cars off the road for extended periods, which affects your bottom line by reducing operational efficiency. No more waiting around in garages for hours, wondering when you will get your car back!
