Fixed Cost Maintenance
No matter how you pay for it, maintenance is not optional when you run business vehicles for two very good reasons:
- The safety of your drivers is paramount - the law says so
- The Terms & Condition of your Contract says that you must maintain the vehicle properly. Ignore this and it will cost you dearly when the vehicle is returned
Including a Maintenance contract with your finance contract is a good idea because it controls your expenditure and regulates your cashflow.
Just over 80% of our clients include a Maintenance option in their contracts. They have learnt that this makes good business sense through experience - regrettably some of it bitter.
Maintenance includes servicing, tyres and repairs relating to fair wear and tear and recovery services. Maintenance does not include windscreens - these costs are covered by your insurance company, however you can use our maintenance service to arrange the repair of a windscreen and the costs will then be charged to your company.
All maintenance can be arranged through our one stop number which is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This means that regardless of when a driver requires assistance, there will be someone on hand to help them.
Applewood Vehicle Finance Ltd has a unique proposition when it comes to maintenance - you leave it up to us to find the most cost effective finance product from our range of funders and we’ll provide the maintenance from our provider. This means that all your drivers have the same number to call for maintenance and you will always know who to call without having to check your records.
