We know “Time is Money” for fleet vehicles. At America 1st Automotive, we provide the best and quickest services so your fleet can be up and running again. We are equipped and staffed to complete extensive fleet maintenance and repair services. We are proud to be known for our working relationships with some of the biggest fleet management companies in the business. These partnerships ensure that fleet drivers have access to the highest level of roadside assistance regardless of location.
Most of our fleet repair work is received through existing fleet management systems such as Auto Rentals Incorporated (ARI) and Auto Integrate. These platforms form the foundation of our fleet service department operations, providing a way for operators to send, review, and process repair orders in line with their individual company protocols.
Auto Integrate is a first-class service within the fleet service space and provides auto repair shops like ours with access to a wide array of fleet management companies. These firms oversee everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs and depend on reliable repair providers to do the work as directed. Each fleet has its own service providers, approval process, and documentation requirements.
Did we create these schedules? No. Our job is to run them as efficiently as possible according to the fleet provider’s standards. When an Auto Integrate request comes in, we move fast: We manage diagnostics, estimates, repairs, and final reporting—all of it. Since the solution is capable of real-time communication and approval routing, there is no unnecessary waiting, and drivers can be back on the road as quickly as possible.
Working with fleet vehicles In our line of work, one of the most important things is making sure that you are indeed pre-approved (or onboard) for the specific fleet management company your are working with. Fleet drivers are frequently on the road or working far from their company’s headquarters, and a repair facility that is already affiliated with their fleet provider can mean the difference between a swift repair and a long wait.
Fleet management companies reach out to add us as service providers in their networks.” We appreciate those partnerships and are glad to get through the required integration process as long as the fleet provider can provide the necessary setup information. From there, we can go on to deliver a frictionless experience to both the driver and the management company.
We at America 1st Automotive are focused on servicing your fleet with the same professionalism and attention we would use with our vehicles. We have years of experience with every make and model, and thanks to platforms such as Auto Integrate, have created an efficient process for dealing with repairs and attending to our customers. Because we understand that when your fleet vehicle is in our shop, that’s time and money your business isn’t making, and we prioritize keeping our turnaround times as fast as that same-quality work will allow.
