As fleet operators face growing pressure from electrification, cost control, compliance requirements and the constant need to keep vehicles on the road, the role of a reliable maintenance partner has never been more critical to daily operations.
Marking its first anniversary, Max Automotive Group Ltd reflects on a year of strong growth and outlines how it continues to support fleet operators across the UK with responsive, flexible and nationally supported maintenance services during a period of rapid change.
Over the past 12 months, the business has established itself as a practical, fleet-focused service partner, supporting cars, vans and specialist assets. From launch, the focus has been clear: minimise downtime and keep fleets operational. This operational mindset has resonated with fleet operators, local authorities and service providers alike, enabling growth while retaining a hands-on, service-led approach.
“Fleet operators need a maintenance partner that understands uptime, compliance and the realities of day-to-day operations,” said Nathan Bell, Managing Director. “Our service model is designed around operational needs, with fast response times, clear communication and solutions that help vehicles return to service quickly.”
National Coverage with Local Service Delivery
Max Automotive Group Ltd delivers fleet maintenance support through a combination of strategically based mobile technicians, a fully equipped workshop and a fully approved nationwide repair network.
Mobile technicians are based in Manchester, Milton Keynes and Oldbury, covering surrounding regions, while national coverage is provided through a trusted network of repair partners. This structure enables consistent service delivery for operators managing fleets across multiple locations, combining local responsiveness with national reach to help reduce downtime wherever vehicles operate.
Supporting the Transition to Electric and Hybrid Fleets
With many operators now managing mixed fleets, Max Automotive Group Ltd is expanding its capability to support electric and hybrid vehicles alongside traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) assets.
Investment includes Electric Vehicle (EV) trained technicians, specialist diagnostic and safety equipment, and service processes aligned with sustainability and compliance requirements. This enables fleet operators to work with a single maintenance provider as they transition towards lower-emission vehicles.
“Many operators are running mixed fleets, and they need one service provider that can support every powertrain,” Nathan added.
More Than Cars and Vans
Max Automotive Group Ltd supports a broad range of fleet assets through both mobile and workshop-based services. Capabilities include cars and vans, EV and hybrid vehicles, specialist vehicles, plant machinery, powered access equipment, planned maintenance and repairs, breakdown and on-site diagnostics, vehicle & asset recovery, and vehicle and asset movements.
This breadth of support enables fleet operators to consolidate maintenance across multiple asset types with a single provider, helping simplify management, improve control and enhance operational efficiency.
Focused on What Comes Next
As the business enters its second year of operation, the focus remains firmly on service reliability, technician capability and scalable national support. Continued investment in people, equipment and infrastructure ensures Max Automotive Group Ltd can respond effectively to evolving fleet and operational demands.
For fleet operators, the company offers a maintenance partner focused on uptime, responsiveness and practical support throughout the fleet lifecycle, delivered locally and supported nationally.
