A new mobile vehicle preparation and valeting service which could help boost residual values will be available to fleets later this year.

The FleetCare service, provided by Manheim, has been launched following demand from its fleet customers.

Prices will start from £9.95 for a standard valet but fleets will be able to use a range of services including sign-writing removal and vehicle inspections with services completed on-site at the office car park.

Manheim will use converted vehicles with their own independent water and power supply.

There is also the option of a “back to new” preparation service which includes additional extras such as a body polish, minor scratch removal and a gloss paint sealant treatment.

The service will be rolled out to fleets with Manheim using in-house operatives and a network of franchisees.
