General Fleet Service Questions
What is a mobile fleet mechanic?
A mobile fleet mechanic is a certified automotive technician who travels to your business location to service your fleet vehicles on-site — instead of requiring you to bring vehicles to a shop. The Hop Shop provides mobile fleet mechanic service across Boise and the Treasure Valley, servicing your vehicles at your lot, job site, or facility.
