The need for routine and unusual maintenance of motor vehicles continues, even if the employee is on active duty at some distant location. Spouses may not be familiar with requirements for routine maintenance such as oil changes and lubrication. If a car develops some sort of problem, perhaps with the transmission or exhaust system, the spouse may not know quite what to do. In today’s mobile society, being without dependable transportation can create all sorts of burdens.
If the company has an automotive maintenance facility, consider taking care of employee’s vehicles while they’re gone.
