Frequently asked questions
Preventive maintenance (PM) is important for all University vehicles, as it allows vehicles to be inspected regularly and helps catch problems before they occur. There are three PM levels that can be set up for a vehicle based on its usage. PMs can be scheduled at recurring intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. Once established, an automated email is sent each month when a PM is due.
Any University department that has acquired a vehicle through Fleet Services will use the Auto Shop for its department’s vehicles. Sorry, personal vehicles cannot be serviced.
Call the Auto Shop at (585) 273-5816 before arriving, or bring the vehicle directly to the shop.
