Fleet & Lease Servicing Townsville

Every vehicle sitting in a workshop is a vehicle not earning. MB Automotive provides fleet servicing for Townsville businesses — from a single work ute through to 100+ vehicles across cars, 4WDs, light trucks and trailers. We work directly with lease companies and fleet card providers, handle the admin and approvals on our end, and get your vehicles back on the road as fast as the job allows.

We've run fleet maintenance out of our Garbutt workshop for over 20 years. We only charge for work that's needed, and we call before adding anything to the job. If something can wait until the next scheduled service, we'll say so.

What Your Fleet Servicing Covers

We handle most fleet work in-house. For specialist jobs — windscreens, upholstery, detailing — we coordinate with trusted local operators and manage the whole process so you're dealing with one workshop, not four.

Log book servicing that maintains manufacturer warranty.

If your vehicles are leased or under finance, this isn't optional — a missed stamp can void warranty coverage on a claim worth thousands. We follow manufacturer schedules across all makes.

Mechanical repairs and diagnostics including common rail diesel systems.

A large share of commercial fleets around Townsville run diesel, and our workshop has the scan tools and diesel experience to diagnose properly rather than throwing parts at it.

Brakes, clutch and suspension.

Fleet vehicles cop heavier use than private cars, particularly anything running between Townsville and Charters Towers or out to station properties on unsealed roads. We machine rotors in-house rather than replacing every time — saves money across a fleet without cutting corners on safety. See our brake repairs page for detail.

Cooling system servicing

Radiators, thermostats, water pumps, coolant flushes. A cooling system fault in Townsville's heat can kill an engine inside a single run. We check coolant condition and system pressure at every major service. More detail on our cooling system repairs page.

Battery testing and replacement

Heat is the number one battery killer, and Townsville's climate means fleet batteries regularly fail at 2–3 years rather than the 4–5 you'd get in southern states. We load-test batteries and check charging systems so you're replacing them on schedule, not on the side of the road. See battery replacement.

Safety inspections and roadworthy certificates

For fleet compliance and vehicle transfers.

4WD-specific servicing

Diff checks, transfer case, suspension, underbody inspection — for fleets that include 4WDs working off-road or on unsealed roads. See 4WD servicing.

The admin side of fleet servicing kills more time than most businesses expect. We're set up with the major lease and fleet management providers, so quotes, pre-approvals and invoicing go through their systems directly. Your accounts team doesn't chase paperwork — we handle it.

Fleet Vehicles Work Harder in North Queensland

Manufacturer service schedules are written for average conditions. Townsville isn’t average conditions. Ambient temps above 35°C for months at a time put extra load on engines, transmissions and cooling systems. Coastal humidity corrodes electrical connectors, battery terminals and underbody components faster than inland climates. Dust from unsealed roads clogs air and cabin filters well before the standard replacement interval.

We adjust inspection points, fluid grades and replacement timing for NQ conditions rather than just following the manufacturer minimum. That’s the difference between a fleet that breaks down reactively and one that stays on the road.
