• The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations ( e-CFR ), lay down the procedures for bus maintenance and servicing . The e-CFR code , section § 396.3 , deals with Inspection , repair and maintenance of busses and has laid down procedures to be followed . For example , a full-service record must be kept for one year indicating the date of the last service and a record of the test performed after service , including such items as test performed on emergency doors and windows . Specific lubrication must be used and all movable parts lubricated with the correct oil and grease . The vehicle shall be free of any oil leaks and care must be taken to affix a sticker stating ' out-of-service ' which shall only be removed by the responsible official after due inspection of the vehicle . Without exception , the following equipment shall be checked after any service to the bus or busses : Parking brake , steering mechanism , tires , horn , windshield wipers , lighting devices lamps etc ., rear vision mirrors , wheels and trim and all emergency equipment . Furthermore , the qualifications of the inspector for all braking apparatus shall be in compliance with section 25 of the same regulations .

To do this effectively not just anybody or any company can service busses and there are rules governing inspection , repair and maintenance laid down by the Federal Transit Administration .
