Method for servicing a fleet of vehicles, e.g., for maintenance, repairs, restyling and/or refinishing, using at least one data processing system and a number of user entries, including service center entries and at least one fleet manager's entry, at least a part of the user entries being linked to the data processing system via a data communication network, e.g., an extranet, wherein . at least one of the data processing systems comprises a status database relating to the service status of all vehicles present at the service center; . the data processing system provides the fleet manager's entry with a user interface for requesting access to the status database for reading status information; . the data processing system provides the service center's entry with a user interface for updating the status database; . on the basis of information derived from the status database the fleet manager adjusts the planning of servicing jobs. The data processing systems are linked to a third type of user entry for one or more suppliers, e.g. paint suppliers, and include a stock database including information about the stock of one or more products present at one or more of the service centers, and optionally allowing reading information from the status database.
