CAPE CORAL — Pro Fleet Care, a franchise-based business that specializes in mobile residential and commercial rust control services, recently opened its first Florida location, in Cape Coral.
Andrew Kohne, who previously held various management and service roles in the hospitality, golf and homebuilder industries, runs the local franchise unit, according to a statement. Pro Fleet Care uses a rust proofing system that creates a barrier of protection for metals and neutralizes the harmful effects of salt and moisture, the release adds. Its products are also a blend of chemicals that penetrate into hard to reach seams and crevices.
“No one in Florida has addressed the ongoing issue of corrosive rust,” Kohne says in the statement. “I am impressed with the results of the Pro Fleet Care rust protection product, its mobile service model and its affordable cost to customers.”
“Residents and businesses alike, especially those living near coastal waterways, deal with costly corrosive rust issues with air conditioners, pool pumps, boat trailers, boat lifts, travel trailers, or fleet vehicles because of the saltwater and humidity,” Kohne adds. “The agricultural industry is also plagued with corrosive rust of their equipment due to the effects of fertilizer.”
Entrepreneur Bob Lawrie founded Pro Fleet Care in Canada in 1984 to protect metals against rust. Over the past 35 years, Pro Fleet Care has worked with farmers and landscapers, large and small vehicle fleet owners, governmental agencies and Fortune 100 companies, the release states.
