**TL;DR:** Fleet programs put work vans, trucks, and company cars on a **service calendar** with **one contact** and a **written estimate per vehicle** before any work.

A fleet service program sets up scheduled maintenance, tires, brakes, and inspections for a group of business vehicles. You get a service calendar, one point of contact, and a written estimate for each vehicle before work. Program details are set up with each business, so start with a fleet inquiry and we will call to talk through your vehicles.

## Who is a fleet program for?

It fits any business that depends on a few vehicles being ready every morning. That includes contractors with pickups, trades with work vans, delivery and service companies, and offices with a handful of company cars. The shop handles light-duty gas and diesel vehicles, so most small and midsize business fleets fit.

- Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC crews
- Landscapers and general contractors
- Delivery vans and cargo vans
- Sales and property management cars

See [work vans and cargo vans](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/vehicles/work-vans-cargo-vans/) for the wear patterns we see most on those vehicles.

## What can a fleet program cover?

A program can cover the same work we do for any driver, organized around your schedule. The most common items are oil changes, tire rotation and replacement, brake inspections, batteries, and pre-trip checks for vehicles that tow. We group work so vehicles spend as little time off the road as possible.

| Area | Typical items |
|---|---|
| Maintenance | Oil and filter, fluid checks, filters |
| Tires | Rotation, replacement, alignment, flat repair |
| Brakes | Measured inspections, pads and rotors per axle |
| Electrical | Battery and charging tests |
| Towing | Hitch and trailer light checks |

For the service details, see [fleet maintenance](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/services/fleet-maintenance/).

## How does fleet scheduling work?

We build a calendar from each vehicle's mileage and use, then book visits in a rotation so the whole fleet is never down at once. You tell us which days work and which vehicles are most critical. If an inspection finds something urgent, we contact your designated person before doing anything beyond the approved work.

Program terms, such as billing setup and approval limits, are agreed with each business directly. We do not publish standard contract terms because every fleet is different. Ask about them when you send the [fleet account inquiry](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/contact/fleet-account/).

## How do estimates and approvals work for a fleet?

Every vehicle gets a written estimate, even on a program. Needed-now items and can-wait items are marked separately, so a fleet manager can approve safety work and schedule the rest. Photos go with any recommendation. The invoice for each vehicle matches its approved estimate.

This matters for businesses because it keeps spending predictable and gives you a record for each vehicle. If you want a quick picture of what upcoming work might look like before you commit, [request a quote](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/contact/request-a-quote/) for one vehicle first.

## What should a fleet manager have ready before the first call?

Have a list of the vehicles, their current mileage, how each one is used, and who can approve work. With that in hand, the first call can move straight to scheduling instead of back-and-forth. The baseline inspections then fill in the real condition of each vehicle so the calendar is built on facts.

- Year, make, model, and plate or unit number for each vehicle
- Current mileage and the date of the last service, if known
- Which vehicles tow, haul heavy loads, or idle a lot
- The days and hours a vehicle can be off the road
- The name and phone number of the person who approves work
- Any spending limit that needs a second approval

Businesses that tow trailers should also flag which trucks need a [hitch and tow package inspection](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/services/hitch-tow-package-inspection/) on the calendar.

## How are fleet approvals set up so work does not stall?

Approvals are set up in advance: who approves, how they approve, and what happens when that person is out. When a vehicle is inspected, the approver gets the estimate and photos by text or email and replies to approve. Work outside the approved estimate waits until that person says yes, so there are no surprise lines on a fleet invoice.

| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| Routine item on the calendar | Estimate sent, approved, work done on that visit |
| Needed-now safety item found | Approver contacted with photos before any added work |
| Can-wait item found | Written on the estimate and added to a later visit |
| Approver not reachable | Vehicle waits; no unapproved work is done |

This is the same approval rule every driver gets at this shop. For a business, it also means each vehicle has a clean record. Read how it works for smaller operations on the [small business page](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/about/customer-types/small-business/).

## What does a fleet program not promise?

A fleet program organizes service; it does not change what the shop can offer on a given day. There is no posted contract, no guaranteed same-day bay, no loaner vehicle, and no towing service built in. Heavy-duty trucks outside the light-duty range are a call-to-confirm conversation before they are booked.

- **Bay time:** booked on the calendar; same-day work depends on open bays and parts.
- **Parts:** ordered when a size or part is not in stock, with the timing written down.
- **Terms:** billing and approval limits are agreed with your business, not published.

Knowing the limits up front keeps the calendar realistic for your crews.

## Can a business also rent a truck or trailer here?

Yes. This lot is a U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer, so a business that needs an extra truck or trailer for a job can rent one from the same place its vehicles are serviced. Reservations are by phone only: call (909) 608-7699 to reserve. We check the hitch on your vehicle before you tow.

That combination is handy for contractors moving materials or offices relocating equipment on a weekend.

## Needed now versus can wait

### Needed now
- Brake work on a vehicle that measured below spec
- Tires that are worn or damaged on a daily route vehicle
- A battery that failed its test before a heavy-use week

### Can wait
- Upgrading every vehicle to the same tire when current tires are fine
- Non-urgent cosmetic or comfort repairs
- Moving every vehicle to shorter intervals without a use reason

## Our process

1. **Send a fleet inquiry:** Tell us how many vehicles, what types, and how they are used.
2. **Talk through the setup:** We call to discuss scheduling, approvals, and billing for your business.
3. **Baseline inspections:** Each vehicle gets an inspection so the calendar reflects its real condition.
4. **Build the calendar:** Visits are staggered so the fleet stays on the road.
5. **Estimate, approve, repair:** Every vehicle gets a written estimate before work and a matching invoice.

## What's included

- Service calendar for each vehicle
- Single point of contact at the shop
- Written estimate per vehicle
- Photo inspection with recommendations
- Need versus want labels for budgeting
- Hitch checks for towing vehicles
- Invoice that matches each approved estimate

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a contract or a minimum term for a fleet program?

There is no published contract and no minimum vehicle count. Program terms are agreed with each business before the first visit, because a two-van crew and a twelve-vehicle fleet need different things. Ask what the setup looks like for your vehicles on the fleet inquiry.

### How does billing work once a program is running?

Billing arrangements are agreed with your business, not posted here. Whatever is agreed, every vehicle still gets its own written estimate and an invoice that matches it, so each unit keeps a clean record you can check line by line at the end of a month.

### Does being on a program get our vehicles priority scheduling?

A program books visits on a calendar in advance, which is what actually keeps vehicles moving. It does not hold a bay open for a same-day drop-in. Tell us which vehicles are most critical and we place them on the days you can spare them.

### What happens if several of our vehicles need the shop the same week?

We stagger them. The calendar is built so the whole fleet is never off the road at once. If urgent work lands on top of a scheduled visit, we tell you which vehicle we can take first and what the other one can safely wait for.

### Can vehicles with very different uses sit on one program?

Yes. A van that idles all day and a pickup that tows on weekends need different intervals, so each vehicle gets its own line on the calendar rather than a shared date. The service side of that is described on [fleet maintenance](https://goodyearelitetireupland.com/services/fleet-maintenance/).

### Can more than one person at our company approve work?

Yes. Tell us who can approve and whether any amount needs a second sign-off. We send each estimate with photos to the approver on file and wait for a reply before starting, so every invoice ties back to a named approval.
