I opened for business as Dwight's Mobile Fleet & Auto Repair in May of 2009 where I ran daily operations by myself. I made this decision after the economy crashed. The company flourished quickly as the economy began to rise and I started to acquire employees. Dwight's Mobile Fleet & Auto grew into Dwight's Fleet & Auto Repair. We were located in Murray Ut for 10 years before our last day of operations on June 28, 2019. I sold the business to pursue opening a Big O Tires in Saratoga Springs where I reside. Unfortunately things did not go as planned with the city and I am looking to find a career. I loved our customers as they had become our family. One of my greatest accomplishments was earning their trust and friendships. I would love to build more relationships like these. Please feel free to Google the business and read our reviews and testimonials.
