If your reservation software lacks vehicle maintenance monitoring, you can implement a comprehensive program using your GPS tracking system. Because the GPS tracks the actual number of vehicle miles, you can easily record the mileage between oil changes, tire changes, alignments, and even fluid checks. While chauffeurs should check fluid levels daily, having a predetermined inspection point for mechanics, such as every 3,000 miles, can save money long-term.

 

Some GPS systems even connect to the OBD systems (on board diagnostics) of vehicles and can spot problems. This feature can save thousands of dollars in refunds to stranded passengers and damage to your engine before it’s too late.
