“Pit stops win races. In the trades, pros win when their tools and vehicles work in sync. A truck is a mobile office, a toolbox, and often the lifeblood of the business,” said Roland Ligtenberg, Housecall Pro co-founder and senior vice president of innovation. “Collectively, our pros drive over a billion miles a year. That’s why we created Pro Pit Stop: To champion the trades by supporting the vehicles and the systems that power them.”

During the Tampa event, home service pros brought their fleet vehicles for free servicing from Spiffy, a local auto detailing and maintenance vendor. The event was co-sponsored by Housecall Pro and Force Fleet Tracking, with support from Blue Recruit, Wrapmate, Holman, and Geico.

In addition to hands-on demonstrations and vendor showcases, the Pro Pit Stop provided a collaborative space for pros to connect with one another and the Housecall Pro team. Attendees shared triumphs, pain points, and ongoing challenges, helping shape future initiatives aimed at empowering small business owners in the trades, the press release said.

Central to the demonstration was Housecall Pro’s software suite, including CSR AI, which answers calls, books jobs, and manages scheduling automatically, and the Housecall Pro GPS vehicle-tracking and dashcam integrations, powered by Force Fleet Tracking. CSR AI ensures no customer call goes unanswered, while integrated fleet tracking and dual-facing dashcams give owners real-time visibility into their fleet and helps them keep customers informed with accurate “on the way” updates.

“Pros showed up in their busiest season because we met them where they work and gave them immediate value,” said Ligtenberg. “These events strengthen partner relationships and give us insight into the real challenges pros face on the road and on the job.”

Housecall Pro plans to expand the Pro Pit Stop program to additional cities in the coming months, bringing the same mix of technical support, industry insights and relationship-building opportunities to more communities nationwide.
