About Us
We are the maintenance department your fleet does not have to build.
Oil Can Man manages maintenance for commercial fleets across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. Scheduled preventative servicing, DOT inspections and full mechanical repair, carried out at your yard on a program we run for you, with a 30,000 square foot shop behind it for the work that cannot be done on site.
We service your vehicles where they already are.
Most of that work happens where your trucks already are. Our service trucks come to your yard, your job site, or the loading dock while your vehicles are being packed.
What most people do not realize until later is that behind the mobile side there is a 30,000 square foot shop on three and a half acres in Fort Lauderdale, with lifts, heavy equipment and full mechanics working in it.
That is the part customers miss. We have serviced companies for years before someone finally says I didn’t know you guys did brakes.
We do. We do all of it.
If it is a company vehicle, we service it.
- Sales cars
- Vans
- Pickups
- Box trucks
- Semis
- Trailers
- Forklifts
- Generators
- Specialty equipment
Most customers run a mix of these. We maintain all of it on one schedule, so you are not chasing three different vendors.
A full safety inspection, not an oil change with a sticker.
Not a 14-point check. On every visit we:
- Pull front and rear brakes
- Measure tread depth on every tire
- Top all fluids
- Lube the chassis
- Clean the battery posts
- Set tire pressures
- Report everything we found
A quick lube costs more than the invoice says.
Your driver leaves the route, waits in line and comes back, so you pay a technician for that hour and lose an hour you could have billed. Multiply it by every vehicle you run, every month.
Everything from preventive maintenance to a major repair can be done at your location. When a job needs a lift, a press, or a week of work, it comes to our shop near downtown Fort Lauderdale. Some customers tow their heavy trucks to us.
Four things that make us different.
We do not employ lube techs.
At most shops the person doing your oil change is the least experienced person in the building. Every technician here is a full mechanic, so when something is wrong he deals with it on the spot instead of booking you a second day out of service.
We have never asked a customer to sign a contract.
Most companies in this industry want you locked in. We do not do that, and we never have. You get good service every time, or you throw us out. It is why we still have customers who started with us in the early nineties.
24 hour roadside assistance.
If one of your vehicles breaks down out on the road, we come to it. Day or night, anywhere across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach.
Licensed, insured and environmentally responsible.
We are fully insured and licensed for all on-site repairs. As a registered waste oil hauler in Florida, we make sure all waste products are recycled responsibly, keeping your business compliant.
Complete mechanical repairs, right at your location
Drop a truck at a dealer and it can sit for days. A brake job that used to be in and out in a day is now often a week, because every shop is short of mechanics. We come to you instead, and the same technician who finds the problem fixes it on that visit.
“I dropped out of school in the ninth grade, so I had to figure out something to do on my own. What I knew was that getting an oil change meant sitting in a garage for two hours, so I started going to people’s houses instead.
Thirty-six years later we are still built on the same idea: taking a truck off the road costs you more than the repair does, so we come to the truck.
The rest of it grew because customers kept asking. Brakes, then transmissions, hydraulics, air conditioning, DOT inspections. Then the shop, so we had somewhere to do the jobs you cannot do in a parking lot.
I am in the office every day. Call me.”
