Besides fuel and depreciation, maintenance is one of the largest costs to a fleet, averaging 16 percent of the total cost of a fleet program. Having an extra set of eyes to not only process invoices, but also be your advocate to negotiate repairs is vital. Maintenance technicians generate hundreds of thousands in documented savings through negotiated savings.

Utilizing the industry knowledge these technicians possess is crucial for cost avoidance and savings. In this webinar, ARI's John Herold, Fleet Management Sales Support Representative, will discuss the importance of maintenance technicians and how they can increase your fleet's cost savings, efficiency, and productivity.

By the end of this session you should be able to:

    Understand what it is a maintenance technician does on your behalf
    Learn how maintenance can affect vehicle selectors for future cost savings and avoidance
    Hear maintenance cost savings success stories
