Reliance Depends On Preventative Maintenance

By Tony Wright, CEO, Exelsius Cold Chain Management Consultancy

No getting away from it, some things in life are now much easier than they used to be. When I bought my first car, it was all about speed, color and yes, how many girls it would attract. How much time and money I would have to spend to keep it roadworthy, and it was plenty, came as a secondary consideration to all of these.

When choosing a car, I still go for color and speed (reluctantly having to drop the ‘girls’ part if I want to stay married!) and like many of you, I have a maintenance package included in my lease contract. If it needs attention, I take it back to the dealer. I have come to rely on the ease with which the car can be back on the road and/or a temporary replacement being arranged. Quick, simple and convenient with no dirty hands.
