We don't just wait for the phone to ring. Our model captures two massive revenue streams:
The market is shifting. Customers will pay for convenience, and businesses need to keep their fleets on the road, not in the shop.
The mobile vehicle repair market is rapidly expanding as customers seek on-demand services.
"We come to you" isn't just a slogan; it's a necessity for busy professionals and parents.
Commercial fleets are a massive growth segment. You fix their vehicles on-site during downtime, saving them money and making you an irreplaceable partner.
This is the high-demand service you will bring to your community. No messy garages. No expensive leases. See the professional branding, advanced equipment, and efficiency of the Express Mobile Lube van in action.
Territories are exclusive and awarded based on population (30,000+) and market potential. We are currently prioritizing partners in select markets.

Why pay rent on a waiting room? By eliminating the brick-and-mortar shop, we stripped away the bloated overhead that kills traditional auto franchises.
Our 2024 Financial Performance (Corporate Location) speaks for itself:
While we are famous for our mobile oil changes, your Express Mobile Lube van is a fully equipped mobile repair shop. You maximize ticket size by offering a full suite of high-margin maintenance services:
Routine Maintenance: Oil (Full Synthetic/Blend), Filter Replacement.
High-Margin Add-ons: Wipers, Batteries, Air Filters, Lightbulbs.
Mechanical Services: Brakes, Tire Rotations, Diagnostics, Serpentine Belts.
You might think you need to know how to rebuild an engine to own an auto service franchise. You don’t.
Our founder, Adam Carney, was a PGA Golf Professional for 30 years. He never changed oil a day in his life before starting Express Mobile Lube. He didn’t build a "car repair" company; he built a customer service company that happens to service vehicles.
We are the "Chick-fil-A" of the auto maintenance world. While the competition is making customers wait in dirty lobbies, we bring white-glove service to their driveway or office.
The Result? A business model that prioritizes professionalism, sales, and books—not labor.
We aren’t looking for mechanics. We are looking for business builders, executives, and sales-minded leaders ready to leave the corporate grind and build a legacy.
How You Run the Business:
The Owner (You): You handle the books, drive B2B sales, and build relationships in the community.
The Manager: We help you hire and train a dedicated Operations Manager to handle the day-to-day logistics and crew oversight.
The Team: Your technicians perform the labor. You stay clean.
The Time Commitment:
Phase 1 (Builder): 40–50 hours/week. You are establishing your territory and fleet accounts.
Phase 2 (Executive): Once established, owners typically scale back to ~5 hours/week, managing the KPIs while the business runs itself.

Your "shop" is a custom-outfitted Ford Transit 250.
Your primary costs are Labor, Insurance, and Fuel.
Operate on a just-in-time inventory model. No dusty warehouses full of parts.
We give parents and professionals their time back. We service their vehicles in their driveway while they eat dinner or relax.
This is the game changer. You service local commercial fleets on-site during their downtime. You save them thousands in lost wages and operational delays. This creates high-volume, recurring revenue checks.
Worried about the technical side? Don't be.
5-Day Intensive Training: You and your Manager come to our HQ. We teach you the business; we teach your Manager the operations.
Manager Assistance: We assist in vetting and hiring a solid Manager so you have a "Right Hand" from Day 1.
