Preventive maintenance
Prevent it instead of fixing it. Schedule servicing by mileage or date, head off breakdowns and keep your vehicles on the road longer.
- Reminders by mileage or date
- Service history for each vehicle
- Catch expensive breakdowns early
- +20% average vehicle lifespan
What is preventive fleet maintenance?
Preventive maintenance means servicing vehicles before they break down, following a plan set in advance: oil changes, filters, brakes, tires, roadworthiness inspections. With Tracky, reminders are triggered by each vehicle’s real mileage, measured by the GPS tracker, or by a fixed date for deadlines that do not depend on distance. The fleet manager no longer has to read odometers or keep a spreadsheet: servicing comes at the right time, vehicle by vehicle, and the maintenance history stays attached to each one. A fleet serviced on time breaks down less, has fewer vehicles off the road and lasts longer: 20% longer service life on average.
Why service by real mileage rather than by calendar?
Because two vehicles bought on the same day do not cover the same distance. An urban delivery van can rack up far more kilometers than a management car. Servicing by calendar is too early for one and too late for the other. The mileage recorded by the tracker, or read from the CAN bus on compatible vehicles, triggers the right job at the right time.
What is the maintenance history used for?
Every job stays attached to the vehicle concerned. This history helps you spot a vehicle that costs more than the others, prepare a resale and decide when to replace rather than repair. The reports show cost per vehicle every month, and a lasting consumption gap flagged by fuel management often points to the workshop: a clogged filter, underinflated tires.
Questions about Preventive maintenance
How does the platform know each vehicle’s mileage?
The GPS tracker measures the distance covered on every trip. On compatible vehicles, mileage can also be read directly from the CAN bus, from the vehicle’s own computer. No manual readings are needed.
Can reminders be set for a fixed date?
Yes. Reminders are set by mileage or by date, depending on the deadline: an oil change depends on kilometers, a roadworthiness inspection on the calendar.
Does preventive maintenance really lower costs?
Yes: a planned job costs less than a breakdown on the road, which adds towing, downtime and sometimes a missed delivery. Fleets serviced by real mileage get 20% longer service life from their vehicles on average.
