Fleet vehicles represent a significant capital investment — and a visible extension of your brand. When they’re well-maintained, they project professionalism. When they’re not, clients and employees notice.
Here are five maintenance priorities that keep corporate fleets running smoothly and looking the part.
1. Scheduled Professional Valeting
A consistent exterior and interior valeting schedule does more than aesthetics. Road salt, bird droppings, tree sap, and industrial fallout all attack paintwork. Left untreated, they cause permanent damage that reduces residual values.
MMCC’s mobile waterless valeting service visits your premises on a recurring schedule — fortnightly or weekly — so vehicles stay protected without any disruption to your operations. Every visit includes our 25-point vehicle inspection, which flags issues before they become costly.
2. Ceramic Paint Protection
Factory clear coat degrades over time, especially on vehicles covering high mileage. PureShield SiO₂ ceramic protection bonds to the surface at a molecular level, creating a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and UV damage.
For fleet vehicles, this means longer intervals between deep cleans, reduced paint deterioration, and stronger residual values at end-of-lease. One application lasts up to 12 months under normal fleet conditions.
3. Interior Hygiene and Sanitisation
Fleet vehicles are shared spaces. Steering wheels, gear knobs, and door handles harbour bacteria that accumulate between users. This is especially relevant for pool cars, courtesy vehicles, and any fleet where multiple drivers share the same vehicle.
Professional interior valeting includes steam cleaning of upholstery, leather conditioning, and high-touch surface sanitisation — essential for duty-of-care compliance and a healthier working environment.
4. Ozone Odour Treatment
Persistent odours from food, tobacco, pets, or damp cannot be masked with air fresheners. They require molecular-level destruction. MMCC’s mobile ozone treatment deploys medical-grade ozone generators that break down odour molecules permanently.
This is particularly valuable for vehicles returning from long-term driver use, pool cars with mixed usage, or any vehicle that needs to make a strong impression on clients.
5. Condition Monitoring and Reporting
Maintenance is only effective when it’s tracked. MMCC’s Fleet Insight Platform provides digital reports after every service visit, including photographic condition records, damage alerts, and maintenance history.
Fleet managers gain visibility across their entire fleet without leaving their desk — and ESG teams gain the water-saving and environmental data they need for Scope 3 reporting.
Building a Fleet Maintenance Schedule
| Frequency | Service | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly/fortnightly | Mobile waterless valet | Remove contaminants, maintain appearance |
| Quarterly | PureShield ceramic application | Long-term paint protection |
| As needed | Ozone odour removal | Eliminate persistent smells |
| Every visit | 25-point inspection | Early damage detection |
| Monthly | Fleet Insight report review | Track condition trends |
A Smarter Approach to Fleet Care
Reactive maintenance — waiting until vehicles look poor before acting — always costs more in the long run. Proactive, scheduled care keeps your fleet presentable, your drivers satisfied, and your finance team confident in residual value projections.
