FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a DuraFleet Franchise

DuraFleet is a mobile fleet repair franchise serving commercial operators that depend on light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Rather than running a fixed garage, technicians travel to customer yards, depots and roadside breakdowns to handle DOT inspections, preventive maintenance, engine diagnostics and on-site repairs, cutting the downtime fleets face when vehicles must be driven to a traditional shop.

The brand was founded in 2022 by former Navy SEAL Patrick Gaven and began franchising in 2025 with FranDevCo as its franchise development partner. It runs a home-based, mobile model: owners operate from home with a service truck and a small team of employed mechanics, and no mechanical background is required to own a unit. Each franchise works within a protected territory.

DuraFleet is an early-stage, founder-led system expanding across the Eastern U.S. and targeting key metropolitan markets, with stated plans for nationwide growth. Revenue is largely B2B and recurring, built on ongoing maintenance and repair relationships with local fleet operators who need their vehicles kept on the road.

Why buy a DuraFleet Franchise?

Buying a DuraFleet franchise offers entry into mobile fleet maintenance, a B2B niche within a large and resilient vehicle-service category. The mobile, on-site model is the core appeal: by bringing repairs to the customer, units compete on convenience and reduced downtime, which lends itself to recurring service contracts rather than one-off jobs.

The home-based structure keeps overhead low, with no commercial garage lease, which supports unit economics. Because owners hire and manage mechanics rather than turning wrenches themselves, the role is open to operators without automotive backgrounds. Protected territories, the backing of franchise developer FranDevCo and a veteran-founder brand story add positioning in a market that is otherwise fragmented and largely independent.

DuraFleet – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    DuraFleet provides incoming owners with 18 hours of classroom training and 32 hours of on-the-job training, plus a confidential operations manual covering its systems. Ongoing support includes business development from industry experts, technology and proprietary administrative tools, an approved-vendor network for equipment and supplies, field operations support, and hiring help such as interview scripts and job-posting templates, all reachable by phone, email or video chat. Resale buyers should confirm with DuraFleet what onboarding and system access transfer to new ownership and any inherited mechanics.

  2. Ideal Owner

    DuraFleet suits a sales-led, relationship-driven operator rather than a hands-on mechanic; no automotive background is required, since owners recruit and manage a small team of technicians. The model rewards those who can win and retain B2B fleet accounts through networking and dependable service, coordinate a mobile crew, and run lean, systems-based operations from home. It fits hands-on local operators comfortable managing staff, building recurring commercial relationships and leading a non-absentee, owner-driven business.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    As a system that only began franchising in 2025, DuraFleet has not yet accumulated formal franchise awards or rankings. Its credibility rests instead on a founder-led story, with former Navy SEAL Patrick Gaven building the brand on reliability and convenience, its partnership with established franchise developer FranDevCo, and positive early customer feedback praising fast, quality on-site service. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's reputation, including local reviews, fleet-account relationships and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    DuraFleet operates in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, valued at more than $205 billion with an estimated 4.1% compound annual growth rate through 2030 (Grand View Research). The broader U.S. automotive service market is forecast to grow around 6% annually, while demand for roadside assistance is rising near 5% a year. Fleet maintenance is essential and recurring, since commercial operators must keep vehicles compliant and running regardless of the economy. The mobile repair segment remains fragmented and locally driven, so a unit's demand depends heavily on its territory's concentration of fleet operators.
