Mobile Fleet Valeting Explained: The Complete Process from Booking to Reporting

What does the mobile fleet valeting process look like from start to finish? This guide walks through every stage — from initial consultation to ongoing fleet management reporting.

For fleet managers considering mobile valeting for the first time, understanding the full process helps set expectations and streamline the decision-making process. Here’s how MMCC’s corporate fleet valeting works, from first contact to ongoing partnership.

Stage 1: Consultation and Assessment

Initial Contact

The process begins with a conversation about your fleet:

  • How many vehicles?
  • What types (cars, vans, SUVs)?
  • Where are they based?
  • How are they currently maintained?
  • What are your priorities (appearance, value preservation, ESG)?

On-Site Assessment

An MMCC representative visits your premises to assess:

  • Fleet condition — current state of paintwork, interiors, and protection
  • Logistics — parking arrangements, access, key management
  • Scheduling — operational patterns that affect timing
  • Special requirements — branded vehicles, executive cars, pool car protocols

Stage 2: Programme Design

Based on the assessment, MMCC designs a tailored programme:

Service Level Selection

Each vehicle or vehicle group is assigned an appropriate service tier:

  • Weekly Basic Valet for high-visibility vehicles
  • Fortnightly Full Valet for general fleet
  • Monthly Ultimate Valet for deep maintenance and protection

Scheduling

Visit days and times are agreed around your operations:

  • Early morning (before business hours)
  • During working hours (while vehicles are parked)
  • Evening or weekend (if operational needs require)

Pricing

Fixed monthly pricing based on:

  • Number of vehicles
  • Service levels per vehicle
  • Visit frequency
  • Any add-on services required

No hidden costs, no seasonal variations, no surprise invoices.

Stage 3: First Service Visit

Preparation

Before the first visit, MMCC coordinates:

  • Key management arrangements (collection and return protocol)
  • Vehicle identification (registration list and parking map)
  • Access requirements (security passes, gate codes)
  • Communication channels (fleet manager contact, technician reporting)

Baseline Documentation

The first visit establishes baseline condition for every vehicle:

  • Full 25-point inspection
  • Photographic record of current condition
  • Any pre-existing damage documented
  • Ceramic protection status assessed

This baseline is critical for tracking improvement and managing lease return documentation.

Service Delivery

Technicians work through the fleet systematically:

  • Consistent process for each service tier
  • Panel-by-panel cleaning methodology
  • Interior service (if included) follows standardised checklist
  • Each vehicle inspected and documented

Stage 4: Ongoing Service

Regular Visits

MMCC visits on the agreed schedule with the same technicians where possible. Familiarity with your fleet means:

  • Faster service (technicians know the vehicles)
  • Better damage detection (changes noticed immediately)
  • Relationship building (drivers know and trust the team)

Fleet Insight Platform

Between visits, fleet managers access the digital platform:

  • View condition reports for any vehicle
  • Track damage alerts and trends
  • Download reports for lease companies or auditors
  • Monitor environmental performance data

Communication

MMCC provides proactive communication:

  • Service completion confirmations
  • Damage alerts for urgent issues
  • Scheduling changes due to weather or access
  • Quarterly performance summaries

Stage 5: Quarterly Review

Every quarter, MMCC conducts a formal review:

  • Fleet condition trend analysis
  • Service level appropriateness assessment
  • Fleet changes (new vehicles, disposals, driver changes)
  • Cost efficiency evaluation
  • Programme adjustments as needed

This ensures the programme evolves with your fleet rather than remaining static.

Stage 6: Specialist Services

Throughout the partnership, MMCC provides specialist services as needed:

ServiceTrigger
PureShield ceramic applicationNew vehicle delivery or annual renewal
Ozone odour treatmentDriver change, odour complaint, or vehicle return
Pre-return preparationLease end approaching
Paint correctionAccumulated swirl marks or oxidation
Interior deep restorationHeavy-use vehicles requiring reset

What Fleet Managers Say

The most common feedback from corporate clients:

  • “We didn’t realise how much time we were wasting sending vehicles to car washes”
  • “The condition reports have saved us thousands in lease return disputes”
  • “Drivers actually comment on how much they appreciate the service”
  • “Our ESG team uses the environmental data in every tender submission”

Ready to Start?

The process from initial enquiry to first service typically takes two weeks. MMCC handles the setup — you simply provide access to your vehicles.
