Score Cards, Service-Level Agreements and More to Ensure Suppliers Deliver on Your Needs

Wheels’ network is an extension of who we are, and we take great care managing our supplier partners. Our partnerships are nurtured beyond the fleet industry norm: we pay suppliers promptly in-full, answer their calls quickly, and collaborate with them to improve their business — all so you get the best they have to offer.

Before a repair shop is added to our network, a robust review process is implemented. As a result, only shops with the highest value become preferred partners.

The Wheels fleet procurement team actively monitors every supplier using scorecards and driver survey results. And we hold them accountable for delivering on a contracted set of KPIs.

“I needed emergency service at 7 p.m. the night before a holiday. Your agent called the dealer and made arrangements for their mechanics to stay late. By 8 p.m. my car was back on the road. Thank you for doing your job so well!”
