A car's maintenance (oil change, brakes, tyres, service) is planned and recorded by the agency. In the field, your role as an employee is to spot what needs doing and pass it on. The owner, the agency manager and the fleet manager fill in the Maintenance record, including from the field app.

After you save: if Make the car unavailable is ticked, the car becomes Maintenance for the period and is no longer offered for rent; if a booking already exists on those dates, saving is refused with "This car is no longer available for those dates. Pick other dates or another car.". When the record becomes Completed or Cancelled, the car is available again if nothing else blocks it. A completed record with a cost is counted once in the agency's maintenance expenses. Without signal, the record is kept on the phone and goes when the network returns, as "Maintenance".

Steps for an employee

  1. Open Fleet and tap the car.
  2. Read its history: scheduled, in progress, completed or overdue maintenance, and the next due dates.
  3. If you notice a need (noise, warning light, worn tyres), add a note on the car's page with what you saw and the odometer.
  4. If the problem blocks a pickup in progress, also use Report an issue on the task. See Pickups and returns.

What happens next

  • Your note is visible to the agency managers on the car's page.
  • An overdue maintenance raises an alert for the agency managers.
