The short answer
A good fleet maintenance program follows mileage-based service intervals, tracks every repair per vehicle, schedules preventive work after hours, and uses daily driver inspections to catch problems early.
Daily driver checks
Tires, lights, fluid leaks, warning lights and brakes — two minutes per vehicle.
Preventive intervals
Oil every 5,000 miles, tire rotation every other oil change, brake inspection every 10,000 miles, and annual cooling and A/C checks before summer.
Track total cost of ownership
Retire vehicles when annual repair costs exceed about half their value.
