| Dedicated Fleet Recovery Capacity | Committed vehicle-day or route-month | Dedicated fleet, coverage hours and agreed service levels | Reserved fleet availability shifts revenue from ad hoc jobs to contracted coverage. |
| Non-Towing Roadside Assistance | Completed visit | Crew time including travel and site access | Dispatched execution carries travel and access costs without requiring a full retail premises. |
| Vehicle Storage Yard | Occupied storage-unit-period | Usable storage positions and handling throughput | Storage sells custody and capacity rather than merchandise or professional treatment. |
