Service History Importance
• As a fleet owner and as part of your preventive maintenance plan, you should keep detailed service records of your fleet service history which develops a picture of each vehicle performance and the issues it had in the past in your Transport Management system. This may further help you to predict which vehicles are prone to issues and can be avoided for critical deliveries.
• Keeping service records of vehicle can also be helpful if you plan to sell your old vehicle. Many buyers won't consider vehicles without full-service history. Vehicles that have full-service history records always have high resale value than vehicles without having any service records.
• Service History also aids in your vehicle warranty conditions. All vehicle warranties stipulate what maintenance needs to be done and at what time intervals. So, in case of claim if you failed to show the service records may put your vehicle out of warranty, even if you have done it timely and correctly.
