It is the first hard freeze of the winter in Oakland County. One van won't start, another has had a grinding noise for two weeks that nobody wrote down, and the third has plates you forgot to renew. The calendar is full and you are on hold with a repair shop, asking how soon they can look at it.
With fleet management in place, every vehicle has a file with mileage, service history, the next oil change, tires, plates and insurance dates. Drivers run a short inspection, problems get logged the day they show up, and service gets booked on slow days instead of in the middle of a rush.
Breakdowns turn into appointments. You know what each vehicle costs to run, when it makes sense to replace it and which driver is hard on brakes. Winter stops being the season you dread for the trucks.

Fix this in Oakland CountyWe list every vehicle with mileage, condition, service history and paperwork dates.
We build a maintenance calendar around mileage, the season and your busy months.
We book service, track driver inspections and keep records current so problems get caught early.
Each month you see cost per vehicle, and each year we plan what to replace, when and how to pay for it.
What we report every month: Vehicles out of service and for how long, Maintenance done on schedule, Cost per vehicle, and Upcoming plates, insurance and replacement dates.
For a small fleet it is less a software project and more a habit. Every vehicle gets a file, a service schedule and a driver who reports problems the day they appear. Someone has to own that habit, and when nobody does, the vehicles end up setting your schedule.
Our fee depends on how many vehicles you run, how many yards they leave from and whether you want us booking service or just setting up the system. The bigger cost driver is the fleet itself: age, mileage and how long service has been put off.
Salt, cold starts and potholes are brutal on work vehicles. Undercarriage washes, battery checks before the first freeze, tire swaps and brake inspections belong on the calendar every fall. Businesses in Oakland County that plan for winter spend less on tow trucks in January.
Buying costs more up front but you own the asset. Leasing keeps payments lower and swaps vehicles on a schedule, though mileage and upfit limits matter. Financing sits in between, and when you are ready to borrow we connect you with licensed lenders.
The time to replace is usually when repairs and downtime start costing more each year than a new payment would. Tracking cost per vehicle makes that visible. Without the numbers, owners tend to keep old trucks far too long or trade them in too early.
No planning needed, but breakdowns land on busy days and repairs cost more than maintenance.
Makes sense for a large fleet, but most local businesses cannot keep one busy full time.
We set up vehicle files, schedules and inspections, book service and report cost per vehicle every month.
