# How Can I Track Which Vehicle Is Costing the Most to Maintain?

You track this by connecting every maintenance cost to its specific vehicle, letting a dashboard rank vehicles by total maintenance spend over any period. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Gestão de Frota** with cost data ranked per vehicle.

Identifying your most expensive vehicle to maintain, by manually reviewing service records across the fleet, is slow and delays the decision about whether to keep or replace it.

## What manually identifying costly vehicles costs

- Time spent manually reviewing service records to rank vehicles by cost
- Delayed decisions about whether a specific vehicle should be replaced
- No easy way to see how maintenance cost trends for a vehicle over its lifetime
- Aging vehicles quietly consuming disproportionate maintenance budget unnoticed

## How tracking maintenance cost per vehicle works

- Every maintenance expense connects directly to its specific **vehicle**
- A dashboard ranks vehicles by total maintenance cost, updating continuously
- Trends over a vehicle's lifetime become visible, not just a single snapshot
- This data supports timely decisions about repair versus replacement

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic ranking removes the need for manual service record review
- Timely visibility supports faster repair-versus-replace decisions
- Lifetime cost trends reveal aging vehicles before they become a budget drain
- This scales from a handful of vehicles to a large, diverse fleet

| Manual service record review | Automated cost ranking           |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Slow, delayed decisions      | Continuous, ranked automatically |
