Preventative Maintenance Program

PmP

Prevent damages, optimise your operations

Mécanique J. Clair is certified to offer the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) Preventive Maintenance Program (PMP).


Owners of certain vehicles, including heavy vehicles, may be eligible to avoid mandatory periodic mechanical inspections by enrolling in the PMP through our qualified mechanics.

 

Preventive maintenance allows the mechanic responsible for your vehicle to inspect, modify, or adjust any necessary components if an issue is identified that could affect the vehicle before its next scheduled maintenance. Any required repairs or modifications must then be completed immediately or scheduled before the next maintenance service.

Avantages of the PMP

  • Improved safety for all road users.
  • Increased life span of your vehicles
  • Increased resale value of your vehicles
  • Reduced downtime caused by major breakdowns
  • Lower repair and exploitation costs
  • Fewer inconveniences (downtime and additional costs) associated with the risk of breakdowns
  • Less stress during road stops
Preventive vehicle maintenance is a worthwhile investment for owners, offering numerous benefits that help build and maintain a strong business reputation.
