The invisible cost of car stops.
When a commercial or business vehicle is in the garage, the real cost is often higher than the repairs shown on the receipt. Transportation businesses, delivery services, and vehicle-dependent jobs are all affected by the lost revenue each day the car is in the garage.
Total cost formula
Loss of earnings = earnings per day x number of repair breaks.
Driver's salary = salary per day × number of days
Replacement car rent = rent per day x number of days
Total cost = lost income + wages + rent + repairs
Downtime Reduction Strategy
Businesses that use heavy vehicles should plan regular preventive maintenance. Good commercial vehicle insurance should include coverage for substitute vehicles or rental costs during repairs.
