Abstract
A mobile automotive servicing facility (100) expands from a closed configuration for transport on highways and roads into a multibay service facility including multiple lifts (142) for servicing automobiles, a restroom (222), a customer waiting room/office area (144) and other amenities. In the closed configuration, the mobile automotive servicing facility resembles a double drop trailer. When deployed for maintenance on automobiles, outer side walls (120) of the facility are pivoted to extend the roof of the facility on both sides. Then inner side walls (122) are pivoted to extend the floor of the facility in an area under the extended roof. The extended floor (122) provides a ramp for ingress and egress of automobiles into the interior (128) of the facility. Contained within the interior of the facility are automobile lifts (142) and equipment for servicing the automobile, including oil change and chassis lubrication, filter replacement, wiper blade replacement, belt replacement and additional services.
