This paper examines the operating reliability of motor vehicles. It was shown that the structure of maintenance operations and repair influences the cost of performance assurance. A method of preventive replacements was proposed in this work; this method transfers part of potential repair operations to the scheduled maintenance. Such decision contributes to increasing the operating reliability and the scheduled maintenance’s price. An optimization model, which allows one to determine the rational amount of preventive replacements, was also proposed in this work.
