Competitive pressures make cost control more important today than ever before. CVAs provide a total solution that makes equipment management an asset rather than a liability. An almost infinite variety of easy, convenient, and cost-effective CVAs are available. Your Cat® dealer is ready to work with you to develop an agreement that provides maximum benefits for your equipment, your resources, and your way of working.
A Variety of Flexible Options
How you work, where you work, and the extent of your service capabilities are among the variables that will determine the type of CVA that is right for you. Following are a few of the more common options.
Engine Preventive Maintenance Agreements
Effective equipment management is one of the most important keys to maximum productivity and minimum costs. If you cannot make it a priority with your existing resources, consider the management experts at your Cat dealer.
- This includes on-site preventive maintenance services performed to factory specifications.
- Trained technicians with extensive equipment knowledge inspect and maintain your equipment.
- Reports provide additional indicators that should be addressed to prevent costly repairs.
