Countrywide has appointed ATS Euromaster to provide its tyre maintenance and checks.
The supplier of products and services to the rural community previously serviced its fleet of 80 commercial vehicles - from vans to artics - through a range of independent dealers.
Countrywide hopes the switch will enable it to organise consistent inspections and fitments across all 14 of its operating centres in the South West, Cotswolds, Midlands and Wales.
ATS Euromaster will also provide support for Countrywide’s LPG tanker fleet, which supplies Autogas for heating and vehicle use.
Tankers cannot carry spare tyres, so in the event of a tyre-related breakdown, the driver needs rapid roadside assistance from a skilled technician to get them back on the road.
Darren Moor, LPG operations manager at Countrywide, said ATS Euromaster will manage his company’s custom tyre tread depth policy and Pirelli fitment policy.
He added: “We prefer to change our tyres before they reach the legal limit, so ATS Euromaster helps us to deliver on this more proactive policy, maximising our vehicle uptime and fleet safety.
“With so many depots and vehicles in disparate locations, it was challenging to get a consistent service on fleet inspections and tyre-related breakdowns through a network of independent suppliers.
“But with ATS Euromaster, we get exactly what we’re looking for.
“We receive an email report after every inspection which gives us complete visibility and lets us manage our fleet more effectively, and their roadside assistance network has the best coverage with just one number to call.”
