How on-site service works, what it includes, and where Slick delivers it. See the model." canonical: https://www.helloslick.com/mobile-fleet-maintenance lastmod: 2026-08-20 --- # Mobile fleet maintenance, explained. The shop model asks your vehicles to come to the work. Mobile fleet maintenance sends the work to your vehicles — on site, usually overnight, so nothing misses a route. Here's how it works and where Slick delivers it. - [Book a Discovery Session](https://www.helloslick.com/demo) - [See Our Markets](https://www.helloslick.com/markets) ## What mobile fleet maintenance is Mobile fleet maintenance is preventive and corrective vehicle work performed where the fleet parks, by technicians who travel to the fleet. Instead of a driver dropping a van at a shop and the vehicle spending a day in someone else's queue, a service van arrives at your site after the last route, and the work happens while your fleet would be sitting still anyway. Done right, it isn't a mobile mechanic you call when something breaks. It's a standing cadence: scheduled preventive maintenance, inspections that catch wear before a driver does, and repairs handled the same night they're found. One Slick tech in one van can service ten vehicles in a single visit. Slick delivers this as a managed service — 100+ W-2 technicians working from 10 HUBs in 100+ cities, with over 2M vehicles serviced. No subcontractors. ## Mobile vs. the shop | | The shop model | Mobile with Slick | |---|---|---| | Where the work happens | You drive to them, wait, drive back | Techs come to your site, overnight | | Vehicle downtime | A day or more per visit, per vehicle | Vehicles serviced while parked — routes unaffected | | Scheduling | Whenever the shop can fit you in | A standing cadence matched to your duty cycle | | Proof of work | A paper invoice | Photo and video documentation in TruView | | Billing | Per incident, different rates per shop | One predictable monthly number | ## How fleets engage Slick Three engagement models, one delivery standard.

Maintenance and repair work performed where your vehicles park, by technicians who travel to you, instead of vehicles traveling to a shop. Preventive service, inspections, and most corrective work happen at your site — typically overnight, so vehicles never miss a route. ### What's the difference between mobile and managed fleet maintenance? Mobile describes where the work happens; managed describes who owns the outcome. Slick UpTime is both: one monthly program where we plan the cadence, do the work on site, and answer for the result. Slick PMI+ is mobile service on demand — you direct the work, we deliver it. ### What does mobile fleet maintenance include? Preventive maintenance (oil, fluids, filters, scheduled service), DOT-ready inspections, corrective repairs including brakes and suspension with basic electrical covered, and steam fleet cleaning. Complex wiring and ECU work is excluded. ### What vehicles can be serviced on site? Classes 1 through 6 — cargo vans, step vans, box trucks, service trucks. Class 7–8 tractors are handled through Slick HD PMI, a nested inspection program built for heavy duty. ### Where is Slick available? Ten HUBs serving 100+ cities, with coverage of 75 miles for light-duty and 150 miles for heavy-duty fleets from each HUB. Check the city pages on our [Markets page](https://www.helloslick.com/markets) for your metro. ### How do I know the work actually happened? Every job is documented in TruView with photos and video, per vehicle. You get a text when work is done, out-of-bundle estimates arrive for tap approval, and the full service history is there for audits or resale. ### How fast can a fleet start? About one week in existing markets, and every engagement carries a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. ## See it on your own fleet Thirty minutes.
