Fleet Maintenance, Planned Not Reactive

Service Plans From Live Engine Data

Geotab turns live engine data into service plans that cut breakdowns and keep assets earning.

  • A breakdown-risk percentage on every active fault
  • Battery health scored 1 to 100
  • Oil life estimated from real driving patterns

Graded From Engine Data

Six Health Signals Your Shop Gets Without Lifting a Hood

Each vehicle is scored from its own data, so the shop works from evidence instead of hunches.

GO9 · engine fault P0159, 2.77% risk of breakdown
01
Electrical System Rating

Battery and charging health scored 1 to 100, so the weak battery is replaced in the bay, not jumped in a parking lot.

02
Oil Life Remaining

Engine data and driving patterns estimate the actual date the oil change is due.

03
Risk of Breakdown

A percentage on this fault, this vehicle, this likely to end in a tow.

04
Tire Pressure Intelligence

Alerts fire only when pressure is truly critical, not every cold morning.

05
Downtime Detection

The hours each vehicle was actually unavailable, a real downtime cost per unit.

06
Fault Lifecycles

Persistent faults and patterns, like the same code recurring across one model year.

Uptime

Maintenance Schedules That Run on Real Usage

Odometer and engine-hour data flow in automatically, so schedules stay honest.

Usage-based schedules

Service by actual miles and engine hours, not calendar guesses.

Automated reminders

The right service, flagged before it is overdue.

Fault code visibility

Engine faults surface immediately, ranked by breakdown risk.

Repair spend control

See which units cost the most and which are next, so replacements are planned.

From Fault To Fixed

Work Orders That Live Where the Data Lives

  • A fault fires
  • An inspection flags a defect
  • A schedule comes due

Any of the three opens a work request on its own, which becomes a work order: job type, due date, assignment, closed with notes, photos, and costs.

When a breakdown still happens, roadside assistance dispatches through a network of 30,000+ service providers across the US and Canada (Geotab Roadside, powered by Agero).

Heavy-duty note. The same schedule engine covers refuse trucks and yellow iron (GO Rugged, for machines with no port); the FAQ below covers what heavy-truck fault data looks like.

A closer look

The Shop's View of Your Fleet

Every vehicle reports its own condition, so service is planned instead of reactive.

Engine fault alerts

The alert email reaches the shop the moment a code sets, before the driver notices anything.

Service reminders

Due dates surface automatically and flag before they slip, so nothing rolls past its interval.

Digital inspections

Driver inspections flow straight to the shop with no paper.

Work orders

Opened, assigned, and closed beside the data that raised them.

Vehicle health view

Battery health, oil life, and breakdown risk for every unit on one screen.

Cost trends

Labor, parts, and vendor spend trended per vehicle, so budgets are built on history, not guesses.

Fewer breakdowns

Problems caught in the shop, not the road.

Longer vehicle life

Consistent service protects your capital.

Predictable spend

Planned maintenance beats emergency pricing.

Questions

Fleet Maintenance FAQ

How does Geotab know when a vehicle is due for service?

Odometer and engine hours stream in from the vehicle automatically, so reminders trigger on real usage instead of calendar guesses. You can also set intervals by date when that fits better.

Can I see engine fault codes?

Yes. Engine fault codes surface with plain-language context the moment they occur, so you can act before a small issue becomes a roadside breakdown.

Does it work across mixed vehicle types?

Yes. Light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and off-road equipment all report into the same maintenance workflow on one screen.

What is Risk of Breakdown, exactly?

A percentage estimate that a given active fault will end in a breakdown, computed from fault-and-outcome patterns across Geotab's connected vehicles. It turns a wall of codes into a triage list.

Do work orders track cost?

Yes. Labor, parts, and vendor costs per order, rolled into per-vehicle history. That is how repair-versus-replace stops being a debate and becomes arithmetic.

We run heavy trucks. Is the fault data useful or just codes?

Useful. Heavy-truck faults come with plain-language descriptions and severity on standard plans, and an optional diagnostics add-on brings recommended repair actions and real-time diagnostics when you want them.

Can maintenance schedules track non-mechanical deadlines?

Yes. Registration and license renewals, inspections, certifications: anything with a date can carry a reminder, alongside the mileage and engine-hour intervals.
