We’re excited to announce the rollout of vehicle maintenance schedules based on OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) factory-recommended intervals, tailored by mileage. This new highly demanded feature provides users with factory-recommended maintenance schedules, service reminders by vehicle, as well as recall alerts, and service labor time estimates—all in the seamless AUTOsist portal.
Our platform now integrates factory-recommended maintenance schedules from leading OEMs. These schedules are customized to each vehicle’s make, model, and current mileage — ensuring that you’re always servicing vehicles exactly when needed, and not a mile too soon or too late. With our new factory recommended maintenance schedules you will never miss necessary maintenance like an oil change or tire rotation again.
AUTOsist syncs directly with manufacturer specifications to automatically generate customized maintenance schedules based on your specific vehicle's OEM guidelines. Whether you're approaching your 30,000-mile service or your vehicle requires specific seasonal maintenance, our fleet maintenance software ensures you have complete visibility into what your vehicle needs and when it needs it.
Other benefits of the new OEM factory recommended scheduling feature include:
OEM schedules are only effective when they are consistently followed as part of a broader preventive maintenance program. Many fleets rely on manufacturer recommendations but struggle with execution due to manual tracking, missed intervals, or lack of visibility across vehicles.
By combining OEM guidelines with a centralized system, fleets can turn static schedules into actionable workflows. A well-structured fleet maintenance software platform ensures that every service interval is tracked, triggered, and completed without gaps.
For example, instead of relying on spreadsheets or memory, fleets can automate service timelines based on mileage, usage, and real-world conditions. This allows teams to align OEM recommendations with operational realities such as high-utilization vehicles or seasonal demands.
When paired with tools like fleet preventive maintenance schedules, OEM data becomes far more powerful. It ensures that every oil change, inspection, and service task is completed on time, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns and improving compliance with manufacturer standards.
Additionally, integrating OEM schedules with a digital system improves accountability. Managers can track completed services, monitor upcoming tasks, and maintain a complete vehicle service history, making audits and warranty claims much easier to manage.
Our new reminder system doesn’t just nudge you to act — it tells you exactly what action your team should take. AUTOsist sends you notifications when service is due soon, and includes details like what is required, and how much time and labor you should plan for.
From oil changes and air filter replacements to brake inspections and fluid checks, reminders come with an itemized list of required services, estimated costs, and due dates based on OEM guidelines.
With this new release, you’ll get labor time estimates for every maintenance item, sourced from trusted industry databases. This helps service teams manage technician time more efficiently and gives operations better insight into vehicle downtime, keeping your team on the road and out of the shop as much as possible.
Our new feature provides accurate labor time estimates for every service task, so your team can plan better, work more efficiently, and minimize vehicle downtime.
Benefits for in-house fleet operations include:
Whether you're managing a single service bay or a full internal garage, these insights empower your maintenance team to run leaner, faster, and more efficiently.
While OEM schedules and labor estimates provide valuable insights, fleets still need a structured way to execute maintenance tasks efficiently. This is where converting OEM data into actionable workflows becomes critical.
Instead of treating maintenance as a reactive process, fleets can use OEM recommendations to automatically generate service tasks within a fleet maintenance work order software system. This ensures that every required service is assigned, tracked, and completed with clear accountability.
For example, when a vehicle hits a mileage threshold, a work order can be created with predefined service steps, labor time estimates, and required parts. This eliminates guesswork and ensures consistency across technicians and locations.
By aligning OEM schedules with structured workflows, fleets can also reduce reliance on reactive maintenance, which often leads to higher costs and unexpected downtime. Instead, maintenance becomes predictable, measurable, and easier to optimize.
Additionally, tracking completed work orders provides valuable performance insights. Fleet managers can analyse service trends, identify inefficiencies, and improve scheduling decisions to reduce overall fleet downtime.
This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that OEM recommendations are consistently followed across the entire fleet, regardless of size or complexity.
Staying on top of recalls is mission-critical — especially for safety and compliance. Our system now delivers automated recall notifications tied directly to your registered vehicle VINs. When a recall is issued, you’ll be the first to know and can take action immediately.
What you get with the new recall feature:
Managing vehicle health is no longer about reactive repairs — it’s about preventive maintenance. With our latest feature release, you’ll reduce unexpected downtime, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and increase vehicle resale value over time.
Whether you’re managing a fleet of 10 or 10,000, this upgrade helps you:
This feature update is now available to all current users. Simply log into your dashboard and navigate to the maintenance tab to begin syncing your fleet with OEM-recommended schedules and enabling alerts.
