Prevent Excessive Wear & Tear in Service Loaner Fleet Management with Connexion Mobility
Preventing Excessive Wear & Tear in Service Loaner Fleet Management
Managing a service loaner fleet is a vital part of providing excellent customer service, but without proper oversight, dealerships can face excessive wear and tear on their loaner vehicles. High mileage, reckless driving, and improper returns lead to increased maintenance costs, faster depreciation, and lower resale value.
With Connexion Mobility, dealerships gain the tools to track vehicle usage, enforce policies, and minimize unnecessary damage—making fleet management easier and more cost-effective.
The Impact of Excessive Wear & Tear on Dealerships
Uncontrolled wear and tear on loaner vehicles creates significant challenges for dealerships, including:
- Increased Maintenance & Repair Costs
🔹 Frequent tire replacements, brake repairs, and interior damage add up quickly.
🔹 Unreported dents, scratches, and mechanical issues lead to unexpected expenses.
- Faster Depreciation
🔹 High mileage and rough driving conditions reduce a vehicle’s resale value.
🔹 Loaners with excessive wear become less attractive for certified pre-owned (CPO) programs.
- Higher Insurance & Liability Risks
🔹 Poorly maintained vehicles increase the risk of breakdowns and accidents.
🔹 Untracked driver behavior can lead to liability concerns if loaners are misused.
- Negative Customer Experience
🔹 Customers notice and complain about dirty, damaged, or poorly maintained loaners.
🔹 Poor vehicle condition can harm the dealership’s reputation and CSI scores.
