Patrick Gaven, DuraFleet founder and CEO, built our brand with a vision to address critical concerns in the fleet repair industry. After serving eight years as a Navy SEAL, Patrick transitioned into the corporate world, but he soon realized he wanted to create real, practical solutions for businesses that rely on their vehicles every day.
Patrick didn’t have a background as a mechanic, and that shaped his outlook and perspective. He approached fleet repair from a business and customer-service standpoint, and he soon saw that companies were in sore need of reliable, on-site maintenance and repair services to keep their fleets moving. Patrick set out to build a mobile service model to answer that need, one which prioritized efficiency, professionalism, and convenience.
Brian Cavanaugh is a dynamic force in the world of franchise development, serving as the Director of Franchise Development for Durafleet.

Patrick set out to build a mobile service model to answer that need, one which prioritized efficiency, professionalism, and convenience.
Starting with just one mechanic and one service truck, Patrick personally met with fleet operators to understand their priorities. He listened to their frustrations about unexpected breakdowns, costly downtime, and logistical challenges, and that helped shape DuraFleet into a brand that delivers comprehensive fleet repair and maintenance directly to the customer.
Patrick’s leadership continues to guide DuraFleet as we expand into new markets and empower franchise owners with a business model built on quality service and operational efficiency. By focusing on the needs of both customers and franchisees, he has created a company that keeps businesses moving and sets a new standard in mobile fleet repair.
