# \[beta\] Update a vendor location

`PATCH /fleet/maintenance/vendor-locations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.samsara.com`
- URL: `https://api.samsara.com/fleet/maintenance/vendor-locations`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Updates an existing maintenance vendor location. The linked Place owns the location's name, address, and notes; update them through the public Addresses API, not this resource. Use the location's addressId (or placeId.id from a mutation response) as {id} in GET /addresses/{id} to retrieve data.name, data.formattedAddress, and data.notes, and PATCH /addresses/{id} to update name, formattedAddress, and notes. These calls require Read Addresses and Write Addresses permissions, respectively. addressId is optional when the existing link identifies a live Place in this organization; otherwise supply a valid addressId before updating the location. Any supplied value must be the Address/Place ID returned as data.id by the Addresses API and identify a live Place in this organization. Legacy vendor-stored notes are separate and are not exposed or copied to the Place.
