If you’re responsible for organising your company’s fleet, anything that helps to make your job easier and reduce the hassle is a great thing! And a maintenance package will do exactly that.
What is a tyre maintenance package?

What are the main benefits?
A tyre maintenance contract offers convenience. Just call one number for someone to arrange all the necessary servicing and repairs. You’ll also receive preferential treatment when you’re booking it in.
Tyre maintenance contracts also give you complete peace of mind. Your business won’t have to worry about costly and unexpected servicing and repair bills.
It also makes it easier for you to comply with duty of care regulations.
What else should I expect from a tyre maintenance contract?
The tyre specialist will usually carry out a full regular inspection of your fleet’s tyres and carry out routine work as required, eg punctures, damages, regrooving, turning etc.
These inspections are normally carried out by a specialist technician on a monthly basis and detailed written records should be kept of each vehicle’s tyres including, for example, information about wear and pressures. Depending on the condition, the technician will make notes in advance of work to be carried out in the near future, such as replacement of tyres, turning on the rim, rotating positions on the vehicle etc. This provides the customer with valuable information about the performance of his fleet’s tyres, which aids in preventative maintenance and financial planning.
Is it available with any leasing agreement?
Maintenance packages are available with Contract Hire and Contract Purchase lease agreements and, in most cases, the fixed monthly charge is added to your monthly leasing payment - so it’s easy.
What does it cost?
Most tyre maintenance contracts are dependent on the size of the fleet and the nature of the work to be carried out. In most cases, contracts are tailored to suit the particular needs of the client.
