Where can tire repairs and new tires be obtained?

• A. Local auto parts store.
• B. Online marketplaces.
• C. The vehicle owner’s preferred shop.
• D. At authorized contract vendors and from COJ Fleet Management Division.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that tire repairs and new tires for fleet vehicles must come from authorized contract vendors and through the COJ Fleet Management Division. This ensures you’re working with providers who have a sanctioned fleet contract, which means negotiated pricing, the correct tire specifications for the fleet, and access to warranties and recalls if needed. It also guarantees that all services are properly documented in the vehicle’s maintenance records, which supports budgeting, safety compliance, and auditability. Local auto parts stores or online marketplaces may not be part of the approved fleet contracts and may not offer the same warranty coverage or formal maintenance documentation. The vehicle owner’s preferred shop might not be an approved vendor, potentially creating compliance and liability issues.
