Comprehensive On-Site Maintenance Excellence

At JM Coaches, we maintain the highest standards of vehicle safety and reliability through our dedicated on-site maintenance facility and experienced technical team. Our fully equipped garage allows us to perform comprehensive servicing, repairs, and safety inspections without relying on external providers, ensuring complete control over maintenance schedules and quality standards. This in-house capability means we can respond immediately to any maintenance requirements, minimise vehicle downtime, and guarantee that every coach in our fleet meets or exceeds all regulatory safety standards before it carries passengers. Our qualified technicians follow rigorous maintenance protocols and keep detailed service records for each vehicle, ensuring full traceability and compliance with all transport authority requirements.

Proactive Fleet Management and Safety Assurance

Our proactive maintenance approach combines scheduled preventative servicing with thorough daily vehicle inspections, ensuring potential issues are identified and resolved before they can impact service reliability or passenger safety. By maintaining our fleet in-house, we can customise maintenance schedules to match each vehicle’s specific usage patterns and operational demands, maximising both safety and efficiency. Our on-site facility is equipped with modern diagnostic equipment and maintains comprehensive parts inventory, allowing us to complete most repairs and services without delay. This commitment to exceptional maintenance standards not only ensures passenger safety and comfort but also extends vehicle lifespan and maintains the professional appearance that our clients expect from JM Coaches.

School Bus Service for Daily Runs and Charters Across Melbourne

Our school bus service supports daily school runs and charter needs across Melbourne. We work closely with each school to provide transport that suits different group sizes and schedules.
Passenger safety is always a priority. Our experienced drivers receive training to handle varied road conditions, and all vehicles are fitted with seatbelts, air conditioning and modern safety features to ensure a safe and comfortable journey.

Crown Coaches also offers a mobile app, CMS Mobile Public, available on iOS and Android. It allows new and current customers to:

  • Create an account using their email
    Request and accept quotes
  • View charter and school bus information, including live driver and vehicle location
  • Register parents or guardians securely
  • Let parents track where the bus is and check their child’s status
  • Access past school run details

This makes planning and monitoring school travel easier for schools and families alike.

School Bus Service for Camps

Our school bus service helps schools in Melbourne and regional Victoria get students to and from camp safely and on time.

We regularly travel to popular camp locations such as Camp Rumbug in South Gippsland, Camp Manyung in Mount Eliza and the Adventure Resort on Phillip Island.

Coaches include generous luggage space, with optional trailers available when extra room is needed. This is especially helpful when students bring their own bags along with school equipment.

For camps with an educational focus, we can also provide coach tours with commentary through our on-board public address systems, adding value to the journey.
