Welcome Aboard: DuraFleet
DuraFleet is a mobile fleet repair franchise founded by Patrick Gaven, a former Navy SEAL who transitioned into the corporate world before launching this venture. Despite lacking mechanical experience himself, Gaven recognized a gap in fleet maintenance services—specifically, businesses with vehicles on the road daily needed reliable, convenient service without the downtime and hassle of traditional shops. Thus, DuraFleet was created with a vision to deliver high-quality maintenance, diagnostics, and roadside assistance right where fleets operate—from light-duty vans to heavy-duty trucks.
Since its inception, DuraFleet has expanded through franchising, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to run a home-based, mobile fleet repair business with low overhead and strong support. Franchisees benefit from comprehensive training, operational tools, marketing assistance, and a protected territory, enabling them to provide services like DOT inspections, preventive maintenance, engine diagnostics, and trailer servicing directly at customers’ locations. As of 2025, the franchise is actively expanding across numerous U.S. states, offering an appealing model for those looking to enter the automotive service industry without prior mechanic expertise.
