Beyond the Oil Change: What a Comprehensive Mobile Fleet Service Should Include

Mobile Fleet Service

Many fleet managers in South Florida hear mobile fleet maintenance and think one thing: oil changes and tire checks. While those are critical, a truly comprehensive service, like the one Oil Can Man has provided since 1990, goes far beyond the basics.

Your fleet is a complex system of diverse assets. A real mobile partner shouldn’t just change your oil; they should be your “one-stop shop” for diagnostics, compliance, and specialized repairs, all performed at your location.

If your current mobile provider only handles the basics, you’re missing out on the key benefits of on-site service. Here is what a comprehensive mobile fleet service in South Florida should actually deliver.

 

1. Advanced Preventive Maintenance (PM) Programs

 

A true PM program is more than a checklist. It’s a tailored schedule based on your specific vehicles and their usage. This includes:

  • Complete Fluid Services: Engine, transmission, differential, and coolant.
  • Brake System Inspection & Repair: Checking pad life, rotors, air lines, and hydraulic systems to prevent failure.
  • Full Belt and Hose Inspection: Identifying and replacing worn components before they snap on the road.
  • Battery and Electrical System Checks: Vital for preventing no-start situations, which kill your schedule.

 

2. D.O.T. Compliance and Inspections

 

This is non-negotiable for commercial fleets. A comprehensive mobile service must have certified technicians who can perform official D.O.T. inspections at your facility. This is a massive advantage:

  • It guarantees compliance without having to take vehicles off their routes.
  • It identifies safety violations (like lighting, brakes, or frame issues) on your schedule.
  • It keeps your CSA score clean and avoids costly “Out of Service” violations during a roadside stop.

 

3. Specialized Diesel and Engine Services

 

Your diesel trucks have unique needs. A top-tier mobile service doesn’t need to send your truck to a specialized shop for engine issues. They should bring the expertise to you.

  • On-Site DPF Cleaning: Clogged Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) are a constant headache, causing power loss and “limp mode.” An expert mobile team can perform a forced regeneration or full on-site DPF service.
  • Engine Diagnostics: Using advanced diagnostic computers to read fault codes and pinpoint issues with after-treatment systems, injectors, or turbochargers.
  • A/C and Electrical Repair: In South Florida, a working A/C isn’t a luxury; it’s a safety requirement. Your mobile tech should be able to diagnose and repair A/C systems, alternators, and starters on-site.

 

4. Hydraulic and Equipment Repair

 

For many South Florida businesses, the fleet includes more than just trucks. You may have forklifts, liftgates, generators, or trailers. A comprehensive partner services all of it.

  • Liftgate Repair: Servicing hydraulic lines, pumps, and electrical controls.
  • Forklift Maintenance: Performing on-site PMs and repairs for your material handling equipment.
  • Hydraulic Hose and Pump Service: Repairing leaks and replacing components on-site to keep your equipment operational.

 

5. A Full-Service Shop for Major Repairs

 

Finally, a truly authoritative mobile service knows its own limits. For catastrophic failures, warranty work, or major bodywork that simply cannot be done in the field, they should have a dedicated, full-service facility.

Oil Can Man operates a 30,000 sq ft state-of-the-art repair facility in Fort Lauderdale. This “dual capability” gives you the best of both worlds: convenient mobile service for 90% of your needs, and a trusted partner for the other 10%.
