You have mounted the automatic snow chain system to the vehicle. The driver has picked it up and left the workshop. How can you make this an even better investment for the fleet owner and the drivers? Here you can learn more and download documents to use for maintenance. There is even a reference document for the driver when he or she returns for service.

## [Do mechanics recommend Onspot?](https://intblog.onspot.com/do-mechanics-recommend-onspot)

[Eric Jones](https://intblog.onspot.com/author/eric-jones), September 19, 2019

```
 
```

Some consider modular design as something for facilitating manufacturing, repair, and maintenance while others think that it only raises the cost for a product – without offering similar benefits. However, it all comes down to the viewer’s perspective. What is regarded merely as an unnecessary cost to one stakeholder could be a definitive advantage to another stakeholder. Let’s have a look at modular design from the mechanic’s perspective.

## [Winter tyres for trucks and buses?](https://intblog.onspot.com/winter-tyres-for-trucks-and-buses)

Rules about winter tyres for trucks and buses differ between countries and regions all over the world. Many countries, of course, have such a warm climate all year round that there is no need for winter tyres at all. Other countries have such cold winter climate that winter tyres are necessary. Yet other countries are prioritising safety, with strict regulations for the use of winter tyres accordingly. Let’s have a look at winter tyres!

## [How to keep Accurate Records? The Onspot Fleet Review Program](https://intblog.onspot.com/how-to-keep-accurate-records-the-onspot-fleet-review-program)

[Leonard D'Orlando](https://intblog.onspot.com/author/leonard-dorlando), June 5, 2017

Ever wonder what would happen if we did not have accurate records for certain things in our lives. Say for example you go to see the doctor or the dentist and they did not have any record of your medical history or any record of what took place during your last visit.  The same could be said for your home or car. Service work was done but there were no records kept.  Imagine driving with no license, registration, or proof of insurance.  Although not as critical as these scenarios, the same does hold true when talking about keeping accurate records of your Onspot chain system.

## [How to make your first Onspot installation?](https://intblog.onspot.com/how-to-make-your-first-onspot-installation)

[![](https://intblog.onspot.com/hubfs/Blog_images/Persons/Mounting%20Onspot_4x3.jpg)](https://intblog.onspot.com/how-to-make-your-first-onspot-installation)

Think back to when you left driving school. Your mind was full of rules and regulations, dos and don’ts and a lot of advice from teachers and experienced drivers. But today, do you really remember literally all traffic signs and rules? I don’t… and do you use all the equipment in the optimal way?
