We are pleased to announce that we not only have concluded our new 2005 Model Year General Motors Fleet Agreement but we have also incorporated some major enhancements into this year’s program.

General Motors has eliminated the old format that consisted of two programs – the VX5 Fleet Discount and the Competitive Assistance Program (CAP). This year’s program has been simplified by rolling the funds that were available in the VX5 invoice reduction program directly into the CAP program. This will help ensure that our members will be able to consistently receive the maximum funds available.

Another major enhancement is we were able to reduce the tier minimums from 100, 200, and 500 to 25, 50, and 100. With the number of vehicles the EAI Members buy, plus the vehicles the Aire Serv Franchisees buy, these levels are easily achievable!

Another important feature of our agreement is the price protection. Our prices are locked in at the 2005 model year introductory prices. There are already a few increases on some select models that are being phased in that we will be able to avoid as a result of our agreement.

When comparing our program to the retail incentives, make sure to compare the current factory invoice to the introductory fleet prices.  When purchasing or leasing these vehicles you must use EAI’s FAN #919517. This is not an allowance program. These CAP funds will be paid out to you in full from EAI as soon as we reach each tier.

No matter where you purchase your vehicle, they should honor your request to use our FAN number. If you encounter any resistance or have any questions, please call Bob Newton at (513) 619-4807 or email me at bobn@eainet.net.

EAI member, Lester Wooldridge, had been frustrated for years by rack storage systems that failed to address the needs of HVAC specific parts and equipment. He has designed, and has a manufacturer producing a system to his specifications: a floor mounted mobile storage and inventory control system that is designed to increase the profitability of your service business. The technician saves time finding or accessing parts and equipment and has enough storage space so that 90% of their service calls are completed on the first visit. The system is comprised of:

• A Rear Inventory Unit - Allows the technician to access 75% of the most commonly used items from the vehicle without entering it. Consists of individually fastened compartments for the nitrogen tank, recovery tank, and vacuum pump as well as 10 compartmentalized trays.
• A Wall Inventory Unit - Designed to limit the number of return service calls by providing storage space for uncommonly used parts.
• A Side Inventory Unit - Designed for easy ground level access to common tools, accessories, and heavy equipment. Features two enclosed compartments and a top shelf.
• A Console Inventory Unit - Allows access to an acetylene kit or tank from the side door. Features a compartment for miscellaneous storage of rain gear, coveralls, aerosol cans, etc.

The system can be transferred from truck to truck regardless of make or model. There is a two truck or 10-year warranty on the system.
