Durafleet

Build a Scalable Mobile Fleet Services Business in an Essential Industry

DuraFleet is a mobile fleet maintenance and repair franchise providing on-site servicing for light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Founded in 2022 by former Navy SEAL and entrepreneur Patrick Gaven, the business was created to help commercial operators reduce vehicle downtime by delivering professional maintenance and repair services directly at customer locations and roadside.

Built around a convenient, mobile service model, DuraFleet eliminates many of the costs associated with traditional repair garages, allowing franchisees to operate a home-based business with lower overhead while serving businesses that rely on keeping their fleets on the road.

An Essential Service with Strong Commercial Potential

Commercial vehicles are the backbone of countless industries, making preventive maintenance, diagnostics and repair essential services regardless of economic conditions. By bringing maintenance directly to customers, DuraFleet helps businesses minimise costly downtime, avoid unnecessary towing expenses and keep their operations running efficiently.

The mobile model requires no expensive commercial premises, allowing owners to launch with a service truck and a technician while benefiting from a scalable business designed for long-term growth. Combined with reduced competition in many markets and growing demand for convenient fleet maintenance, DuraFleet offers an attractive opportunity within the commercial vehicle services sector.

No Mechanical Experience Required

DuraFleet is designed for business owners rather than technicians. Previous mechanical or maintenance experience is not required, as franchisees focus on leading the business, building customer relationships, developing local networks and managing their team.

The franchise system provides operational playbooks, including recruiting resources, interview guides and business management processes, enabling owners to confidently build and scale their operation while employing qualified technicians to carry out the work.

Whether operating as a full-time owner or using the executive, manager-run model, franchisees have the flexibility to choose an ownership approach that aligns with their personal and business goals.

Comprehensive Training and Ongoing Support

Franchisees receive approximately 50 hours of combined classroom and hands-on training covering operational systems, business management and day-to-day processes.

Support also includes:

• Guidance on recruiting, hiring and managing technician teams.
• Ongoing operational and strategic business coaching.
• Marketing, website development and social media support.
• Field operations guidance and proven business systems.
• Scheduling and customer management processes designed to improve operational efficiency.
• Leadership support from an experienced management team.

Everything is designed to help franchisees launch confidently and focus on growing a professional fleet services business.

Who Makes an Ideal Franchisee?

DuraFleet is seeking ambitious entrepreneurs and experienced leaders who are motivated to build a scalable business in an essential industry. Ideal franchisees are coachable, customer-focused, comfortable managing people and committed to following proven systems. Leadership experience, a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial mindset are valued far more than technical or mechanical expertise.

Qualified military veterans also benefit from a 15% discount on the initial franchise fee, supporting their transition into business ownership.
