Fleet Roadside Assistance
Master Fleet doesn’t just handle your breakdown, we “manage” it. Using top rated vendors with negotiated rates, we advise them on the work to be completed, receive and send timely updates to you, and when the repair is complete we pay the invoice to ensure you or your driver are rolling as quickly as possible.
