Every minute your vehicle spends in the garage is lost productivity and revenue for your business. At Holman, we understand this challenge. That’s why we prioritise keeping your fleet on the road, maximising uptime through a combination of proactive measures, a skilled team and class-leading service partners.

Equipping Our Team for Your Success

To ensure exceptional service for you, we invest heavily in upskilling our team. Our service providers for breakdown, tyres, and glass conduct regular training sessions at our UK locations. These sessions equip our team with the knowledge and practical techniques to minimise downtime for you and your drivers.

Proactive Maintenance

The best defence against downtime is a proactive approach to vehicle maintenance. By taking a few minutes each day to perform vehicle checks, drivers can identify minor issues before they escalate into major problems.

We leverage telematics technology for real-time monitoring of your fleet’s health. This provides valuable insights into vehicle location, performance, and potential issues, allowing you to make informed decisions for optimal fleet management.

Focus on Roadside Fix

We understand that unforeseen circumstances like potholes, weather, or unexpected vehicle problems can happen.  That’s why each of our service providers focus on roadside fix to keep you out of the garage and save time off the road. Each of our service providers are specially selected by Holman, representing the best-in-class service and a focus on safety, reducing downtime, and innovative solutions.

• Our breakdown specialists Egertons Recovery are equipped to get you back on the road quickly. Their specially equipped vehicles are complete mobile workshops, carrying a range of parts stock able to fix complex issues without the need for recovery. This impressive capability means that 80% of breakdowns are fixed at the roadside, to get your drivers up and going again there and then.
• Our partner for tyre services, Halfords, has an impressive nationwide coverage meaning most of the UK is never more than 20 minutes from a Halford garage. This, combined with 705 service vans means they are readily available when needed.
• We partner with National Windscreens with their 600 mobile units and specialist equipment to look after car, van, and HGV windscreens. They have the skills and equipment to repair most chips and windscreen damage, and as they can get to your drivers it’s a very easy fix. They repair windscreens in just 30 minutes to, saving you at least 1.5 hours minimum to replace the windscreen at a garage.

How Drivers Can Help

While Holman and our service providers work tirelessly to keep your fleet on the road, your drivers can also play a crucial role in some situations:

• Be proactive and report all defects so that small problems can be booked in ahead, minimising the need for emergency callouts that can cause future delays.
• By keeping keys in an agreed safe place, drivers can ensure the repairs start quickly.
• Stay nearby or being reachable by phone eliminates wasted time searching for the driver.
• Whenever possible, parking in a wide space will give the technician the space they need to work quickly and efficiently.
