Your fleet makes money when it is moving
A work truck is different from a personal vehicle. It may idle for hours, carry tools and materials, tow trailers, run short stop-and-go routes, visit dusty job sites and spend most of the day loaded.
A truck down is not just a repair bill. It may mean a technician without a vehicle. A crew without tools. A missed appointment. A delayed job. And a customer waiting. That makes fleet maintenance an operations issue, not just an automotive one.
Waiting for a dashboard light is not a maintenance strategy. We help businesses build preventive maintenance around how their vehicles are actually used.

Unplanned downtime
The goal is simple: find maintenance needs while you can still choose when the vehicle comes off the road.

Not every fleet should run the same schedule. Four things shape the plan.
Vehicle
Year, make, model, engine and drivetrain. A three-quarter-ton diesel and a cargo van do not belong on the same sheet.
Mileage
How many miles the vehicle accumulates, and how quickly it gets there.
Duty cycle
Idling, towing, heavy loads, stop-and-go work, job sites and operating conditions.
Time
Low-mileage vehicles still need time-based inspection. Fluids and rubber age whether the truck moves or not.
Fleet maintenance should account for manufacturer recommendations and real-world operating conditions. We do not invent intervals and present them as factory requirements.
What our fleet preventive maintenance covers
Oil & filter service
Scheduled oil and filter maintenance based on vehicle requirements and usage.
Fluid inspection
Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid and other applicable fluids.
Brakes
Inspection of wear items and identification of developing brake concerns.
Battery & charging
Battery, starting and charging concerns found before they strand a vehicle.
Cooling system
Cooling-system inspection and repair needs that can lead to overheating and downtime.
Belts & hoses
Inspection for visible wear, deterioration and potential failure.
Steering & suspension
Components that affect handling, tire wear and vehicle control.
Engine & drivability
Warning lights, rough running, power loss or other developing issues.
Transmission
Fluid condition, operation and diagnosed transmission concerns.
Lights & safety items
Lights or visible safety-related issues that need attention.
Tires
Visual tire condition and wear observations where applicable.
General inspection
Findings written down as attention now, plan it, or keep monitoring.
Anything beyond scheduled maintenance moves over to fleet repair and service, with diagnostics and brake service handled in the same building.
Red, yellow, green findings
Business owners should not have to translate mechanic language while a truck sits parked. We sort what we find so you can decide quickly.
Red — needs attention now
Safety or reliability items that should not wait.
Yellow — plan or monitor
Wear that is real but not urgent. Schedule it on your terms.
Green — no concern identified
Nothing found during this inspection that needs action.
This is how we communicate findings, not a software platform. RepairPal Certified. MaxCare welcome. Ask us to verify your coverage.
One fleet. One shop. Gas + diesel.
Many local fleets are mixed. A contractor may run gasoline vans, diesel pickups and several makes inside the same company. Total Performance Tuning services both gas fleet vehicles and diesel work trucks, which gives Lake County businesses one local relationship instead of splitting routine maintenance and repair between two shops.
Minimum 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty on qualifying repairs, subject to plan terms.
Built for Lake County businesses that depend on vehicles
HVAC & plumbing
Service vans idle, sit in stop-and-go traffic and carry tools all day. A predictable schedule can help keep technicians working instead of waiting on repairs.
Electrical & low voltage
Vans loaded with material and ladders put steady weight on brakes and suspension.
Construction & general contracting
Job-site dust, gravel and loaded beds are hard on filters, cooling and undercarriage components.
Roofing
Heavy loads and trailer towing in Florida heat make cooling and brake condition worth watching.
Landscaping & lawn care
Trailers, ramps and daily short runs add wear that mileage alone does not show.
Pool & pest control
High stop counts, chemicals on board and long idle periods across a big daily route.
Restoration & cleaning
Vehicles get called out at short notice, so availability matters more than convenience.
Delivery & local routes
Dozens of stops a day means brakes and drivetrain see far more cycles than the odometer suggests.
Property management
Mixed vehicles across multiple properties, often maintained by whoever has time that week.
Sales & service fleets
Higher-mileage road vehicles where a breakdown costs a day of appointments.
You don’t need 100 trucks to need a maintenance plan
If your business depends on multiple vehicles, downtime becomes an operations problem whether you have 3 vehicles or 30.
2-5 vehicles
Growing local businesses
6-15 vehicles

How the TPT fleet process works
Step 1
Tell us about your fleet
Company, fleet size, vehicle types, gas or diesel or both, typical mileage and how you handle maintenance today.
Step 2
Identify maintenance needs
What each vehicle needs based on condition, usage and manufacturer recommendations.
Step 3
Build the schedule
Maintenance coordinated around when your operation can actually spare the vehicle.
Step 4
Inspect and communicate
Scheduled work performed, developing concerns identified, findings explained in plain language.
Step 5
Plan the next service
You leave knowing what is next and roughly when, instead of waiting for a warning light.
5,000 miles is not always the same 5,000 miles
A truck driven mostly on the highway wears differently than a work truck that idles for long periods, makes dozens of stops a day, tows trailers, carries heavy tools and materials, works in Florida heat, drives construction sites, runs short trips and accumulates engine hours faster than the odometer suggests.
So preventive maintenance planning should consider mileage, time, operating conditions and manufacturer recommendations together, rather than relying on mileage alone.
Fleet maintenance built for Central Florida work
Central Florida fleets deal with heat, long air conditioning runs, heavy summer cooling load, stop-and-go routes, construction dust, frequent idling and towing. None of that changes what the manufacturer recommends, but it does change what is worth watching between services — cooling system condition, battery health, brake wear and fluid condition in particular.

Fleet preventive maintenance near Mount Dora and across Lake County
Total Performance Tuning provides commercial fleet preventive maintenance from its Mount Dora shop at 4225 W Old Highway 441, Mount Dora, FL 32757, on W Old Highway 441. Companies working out of Eustis, Tavares, Leesburg, Fruitland Park, Umatilla, Lady Lake, Sorrento, Clermont, Minneola and Groveland reach the shop on the same corridors their crews already drive, which is usually the deciding factor when a business is choosing where to send work vehicles.
Fleet work is scheduled around your operation. Most businesses cannot hand over three trucks at once, so vehicles are staged over days or weeks and slotted into the hours where you can spare them. Findings come back with the urgent items separated from the ones worth planning, and nothing is repaired without a number you approved first. Gas vans and diesel pickups are handled in the same building, so a mixed fleet stays on one maintenance history instead of two.
Still comparing shops? Our guide on finding a fleet mechanic near you covers what to ask, and our Mount Dora shop page has the full service list.
Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 6:00pm. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
Fleet maintenance questions Lake County businesses ask
- What is fleet preventive maintenance?
- Fleet preventive maintenance is scheduled inspection and service performed before a vehicle develops a major problem. A fleet PM program considers manufacturer recommendations, mileage, time, vehicle use and operating conditions so a business can plan maintenance instead of reacting after a breakdown.
- How often should commercial fleet vehicles receive preventive maintenance?
- It depends on the vehicle and how hard it works. Manufacturer recommendations set the baseline, then mileage rate, idle time, towing and load change how often a vehicle should actually be looked at. A van running dozens of stops a day is usually inspected more often than a highway vehicle covering the same miles.
- What should a fleet preventive maintenance program include?
- Oil and filter service, fluid inspection, brakes, battery and charging, cooling system, belts and hoses, steering and suspension, drivability, transmission condition, lights and safety items, tires, and a written record of what was found.
- Can one shop maintain both gasoline and diesel fleet vehicles?
- Yes. Total Performance Tuning services both gasoline and diesel work vehicles in the same building, so a mixed fleet does not have to be split between two shops.
- Does fleet preventive maintenance reduce breakdowns?
- It can help reduce avoidable ones. Preventive maintenance is designed to catch wear, leaks and developing faults while they are still small. It cannot eliminate every failure, but it moves more of them into a window you choose.
- How do you determine maintenance intervals for work trucks?
- Manufacturer recommendations first, then real operating conditions: mileage rate, idle hours, towing, load, route type and the environment the vehicle works in.
- Should fleet maintenance be based on mileage or engine hours?
- Both matter. A truck that idles for hours accumulates engine wear the odometer never shows, so heavy-idle vehicles should be planned on hours and time as well as miles.
- What information should I provide when starting a fleet maintenance program?
- Fleet size, vehicle years and models, gas or diesel mix, roughly how many miles each vehicle runs, how the vehicles are used, and how maintenance is handled today.
- Can small businesses use fleet maintenance programs?
- Yes. If your business depends on multiple vehicles, downtime is an operations problem whether you run 3 vehicles or 30.
- What types of businesses benefit from fleet preventive maintenance?
- Any company whose people cannot work without a vehicle: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, construction, roofing, landscaping, pool and pest service, delivery, restoration, cleaning and property management.
