Maintenance
Cozy's carries out its own maintenance in its own purpose
built workshop. The vehciles are rountinly maintained to the
highest of standards.
The workshop is equipped with state of the art VOSA approved
equipment, such as:
-
Brake tester
-
Smoke tester
-
Head light beam setter
Our maintenance team has more then forty years experience
between them, we also have an apprentice system in place with
the local college.
To keep our high standards we follow the official VOSA Guild
to Maintaining Roadworthiness very closely. The main points
are:
All drivers
carry out a walk around check everyday for their vehicle
The checks
include but not limited to, external conditions, lights,
tyres,
wheel fixing,
bodywork. Report any defects or symptoms of defects
that could
prevent the safe operation of the vehicle.
Each vehicle has
a full inspection carried out on it every 4 weeks
All inspections
are planned out 12 months in advance
All reports are
kept for 15 months
All driver defect
and the safety inspections reports are checked on a regular
basis by the
engineering director to insure compliance with
the VOSA
requirements and
our own internal quality systems with such regular
inspections, the
maintenance team can also spot any possible issues
or faults
that can be acted
on before becoming a defect
Similar to the
MOT required for a car, each vehicle is required to be
inspected
by VOSA at one of
their testing stations. For the year ending 2007,
Cozys have a 90%
pass rate at first presentation for testing.
The national
average is 72%
