Routine Maintenance Inspection (RMI)
Our foundational oil and filter service includes routine checks of fluid levels, visible leaks, brake wear, tire condition, and other apparent safety concerns.
A Planned Repair Is Better Than an Unexpected Breakdown
Unexpected vehicle breakdowns can disrupt schedules, delay jobs, and affect a business’s bottom line. Work vehicles need to be working, not sitting in a repair shop.
Our goal is to help you schedule downtime instead of having downtime schedule itself.
Although some failures are inevitable, a proactive maintenance program can reduce the likelihood of preventable breakdowns and give you more control over when your vehicles are out of service.
At SKOTS, we believe preventative maintenance is about more than routine oil changes. It’s about knowing the condition of your vehicles, identifying developing problems early, and planning maintenance and repairs around your business needs.

Inspections, Tracking and Scheduling
Understand your vehicles and plan the next step.
Comprehensive Maintenance Inspection (CMI)
A more detailed assessment of vehicle condition, including fluids, tires, brakes, lighting, belts, hoses, charging system, visible leaks, lubrication points, front-end, steering and suspension wear, and a computer system scan where appropriate.
We generally schedule the comprehensive inspection near your vehicle’s Massachusetts state inspection due date and, by prior arrangement, can handle the vehicle’s state inspection.
Maintenance Tracking, Scheduling, and Vehicle History
We keep organized service histories for each vehicle, track upcoming maintenance needs, and help schedule service around your business operations. That way, you know what has been done, what is coming due, and can plan ahead.
Each month, we can email you a list of the vehicles coming due for service.
Find Problems Early
Many mechanical problems develop over time and can be identified before they result in a vehicle being taken out of service.
- Recognize worn components before they fail
- Schedule repairs on your terms
- Reduce unexpected downtime
- Anticipate upcoming repair costs
What is the difference between an RMI and a CMI?
A Routine Maintenance Inspection is our foundational oil and filter service, with routine checks of fluid levels, visible leaks, brake wear, tire condition and other apparent safety concerns. A Comprehensive Maintenance Inspection is a more detailed assessment of fluids, brakes, tires, lighting, belts, hoses, charging system, steering and suspension, with a computer scan where appropriate.
Can you handle my vehicle’s state inspection?
We generally schedule the comprehensive inspection near your vehicle’s Massachusetts state inspection due date and, by prior arrangement, can handle the vehicle’s state inspection.
How do maintenance reminders work?
We keep a service history for each vehicle, track upcoming maintenance needs and let you know when service is due, so you can plan ahead.
Do scheduled vehicles get priority?
Yes. Vehicles on a preventative maintenance plan receive priority when we plan our shop schedule. Turnaround always depends on the work needed.
