Built Over Decades, Guided by Purpose

Here’s a glimpse into our journey. We’ve faced challenges and celebrated milestones that shaped who we are today. From our beginnings to current achievements, each step has been a vital part of our growth.

The Beginning
Matthews Motors began in 1991, founded as Fleetcare with one truck, one technician, and a mission rooted in service. From day one, our focus was mobile preventative maintenance—providing on-site repairs that kept commercial fleets on the road and earning trust one customer at a time.
