The True Cost of Downtime: Why Your Fleet Needs a 24/7 Mobile Maintenance Partner
Downtime Costs Money
As a fleet manager, your top priority is keeping your vehicles on the road and your business moving. Every minute a vehicle sits idle, whether for a planned oil change or an unexpected breakdown, it's not generating revenue. That's the true cost of downtime, and it’s far more expensive than most people realize.
At 24 Hour Mobile Lube, we understand this reality. That's why we've built our service around a single principle: providing convenient, on-site, and around-the-clock vehicle servicing that eliminates downtime and protects your bottom line.
The Hidden Costs of Traditional Fleet Maintenance
Taking a vehicle to a traditional service shop for a simple oil change seems straightforward, but let's break down the real costs:
Lost Productivity
A driver spends 30 minutes traveling to the shop, waits an hour, and then another 30 minutes driving back. That's two hours of lost work per vehicle. For a fleet of 20, that's 40 hours of lost productivity a significant hit to your schedule and revenue.
Driver Wages
You're paying your drivers for time spent waiting in a lounge, not for time spent on the job.
Fuel and Logistics
The cost of fuel for travel to and from the service centre, plus the administrative burden of scheduling appointments and managing multiple vehicles, adds up quickly.
