Questions

Resource FAQ

Can maintenance status affect booking?

Software can help block vehicles through availability and closure workflows, but staff still need to maintain accurate records.

Is this an inspection form?

No. It is an organizational log, not a substitute for inspections, repairs, or legal requirements.

Who should update the log?

Many schools ask instructors or office staff to report issues immediately and have owners review vehicle readiness.
