  • {{maintenance_history}}: Any existing maintenance records or known issues.

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context from the list above before proceeding.
  2. Develop a comprehensive maintenance checklist that covers essential tasks such as oil changes, brake inspections, fluid checks, tire rotations, and battery tests.
  3. Include recommended maintenance intervals (e.g., every 5,000 miles or 3 months) based on industry standards and vehicle types.
  4. Organize the checklist by frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually) for easy use.
  5. Add a section for emergency preparedness, highlighting checks that ensure vehicles are ready for unexpected events.
  6. Provide tips for documenting and tracking maintenance to ensure compliance.

Output format A structured checklist with clear headings for each frequency category, bullet points for tasks, and a brief introduction. Use plain language and avoid jargon.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific maintenance intervals; use general industry standards and note assumptions.
  • Stay within the scope of vehicle maintenance; do not include unrelated fleet management advice.
  • Flag any recommendations that may vary by vehicle make/model.
