Buy a DuraFleet Franchise

DuraFleet is a mobile fleet repair franchise founded by former Navy SEAL Patrick Gaven, who identified a critical gap in convenient maintenance for businesses reliant on light-duty vans, medium-duty trucks, and heavy-duty fleets. Without prior mechanical experience, Gaven built a service model delivering high-quality repairs, DOT inspections, preventive maintenance, engine diagnostics, trailer servicing, and roadside assistance directly to customer sites—eliminating shop downtime and logistical hassles that plague traditional garages.

Launched amid rising fleet demands, the brand now franchises a scalable, home-based operation with low overhead (just a service truck and mechanic to start), protected territories, and nationwide expansion underway across U.S. states. Franchisees—no mechanic background required—receive comprehensive classroom and hands-on training, operational playbooks (interview scripts, job postings), marketing support (digital leads, fleet account strategies), and ongoing guidance positioning DuraFleet as “insurance” backup that earns primary contracts through speed, price, and trust.
