Can you imagine what would happen if one of your fleet drivers could not stop his or her automobile? Our goal here at Buellton Garage is to make sure you never need to worry about that. We have fleet service programs for our fleet customers that make maintaining your fleet of vehicles not only affordable but also easy. Brake services are one of the things we offer our fleet managers to ensure their drivers can always rely on the safety of their vehicles. Let’s talk about why brake services are so important for fleet vehicles.
Safety First
As the adage goes: safety first. It’s important to make sure that all of your fleet vehicles are safe to drive at all times. Your drivers rely on these vehicles to be safe and reliable. If the brakes are not working as they should be, a near-miss could turn into an accident. The brake system is the most important safety system on an automobile, and we make certain that your fleet vehicles can stop on a dime when they need to. This ensures your drivers can count on the brake systems.
Accident Avoidance Saves Money
If you’ve ever had a fleet driver get into an accident, you know how much this affects the bottom line. Accidents not only cost money in vehicle repairs and insurance premium increases, but they can also cost money in worker’s compensation claims. If your fleet driver was injured in the accident, you will find yourself responsible for his or her medical bills if you do not have worker’s comp insurance. Even if you are insured, the insurance company may not take responsibility if the vehicle was not maintained.
In severe cases, you may find yourself being sued by the fleet driver for additional damages. You don’t need us to tell you that a lawsuit can cost you your company. Even worse, if you have a fleet of vehicles that are passenger vehicles and your driver gets into an accident because the brakes are bad, you may be sued by the driver and the passenger or their respective families if there were fatalities. We aren’t trying to scare you. We are just being realistic as to the importance of brake services for your fleet vehicles.
