FLEET MAINTENANCE MOTORONE EXPRESS DETAILING MotorOne Group MotorOne Group are a national business with a core focus around the provision of aftermarket car care products to dealerships, fleets and OEM’s and secondly, on the eastern seaboard, have established a growing vehicle accident repair business comprising a hub-and-spoke network of fixed sites and a fleet of mobile scratch and dent repair vans. 1. How has COVID-19 affected your business and how have you adjusted? Immediately post COVID-19, coupled with the variety of state restrictions we experienced an immediate downturn in our core business and naturally a nosedive in revenue. Given we’re closely aligned to the ebbs and flows of car sales the impact on our company like many others was predicated on a state-by-state basis, dependent on what restrictions and where. It has to be said that business for us in some states has remained buoyant throughout and less affected as a result of some states making the call for earlier and more stringent lockdowns. We identified the opportunity to diversify using part of our existing mobile van repair fleet and established within weeks MotorOne Express Detailing and Sanitisation, an instant mobile business from our existing pool of Mercedes Vito vans. MotorOne accelerated the launch as a result of the company receiving massive enquiry about how MotorOne can help in offering a better understanding of the various levels of vehicle sanitisation in early days of restrictions. This all stems from the AutoKlene business, part of the MotorOne Group. Catering for primarily B2B customers and the Fleet sector we quickly saw the opportunity that certain vehicles would need to be sanitised as much for compliance as for personnel safety and protection. There’s a range of services that start at $95. Secondly, car vehicle dealerships still trading also saw the opportunity to use more our sanitisation products and services to ensure their floor stock complied to acceptable safe levels of cleanliness for both staff and for customers.
