A fleet that works in Celebration spends its days in a town built around offices, a hospital and a retail center rather than warehouses. If your vans, box trucks or shuttle buses serve those buildings, a missed appointment costs more than the repair does. RDI Fleet, RDI Power’s fleet program, is built for that kind of operation: a maintenance plan written around your units and your calendar, carried out by technicians who come from our Brooksville shop to the place your vehicles park.
Celebration’s working side: offices, a hospital campus and 500 companies
Disney built Celebration, and several Disney business units still occupy office buildings in town. Celebration also holds the only Class A office buildings in Osceola County, and more than 500 registered companies operate from its shopping plazas, small office complexes and the Disney office park. AdventHealth runs a campus here too, and in April 2024 it announced a five-story patient tower that would add 80 beds for a total of 427.
None of that is heavy industry. If your units work this territory, their days are measured in appointments and deliveries, and a maintenance plan only works if it fits around them. That is where we start.
Writing the plan for a Celebration route
The first conversation is about your vehicles and how they earn their keep. We ask for:
- A unit list. Year, make, engine, mileage or hours, and the job each vehicle does.
- The duty cycle. A van that runs I-4 to Celebration and back racks up highway miles. A shuttle that circles a campus all day piles up idle time and stops. Each gets intervals set by miles, engine hours or calendar, whichever reflects the work.
- The windows. The days and hours each unit can be spared, so service lands when it costs you least.
- The budget. How much unplanned repair cost you last year, and how much of that you would rather move into planned work.
From that, preventive maintenance and inspections go onto a shared schedule that you can see and adjust.
Service at the lot where Celebration units park
Most routine work happens on site. A technician arrives with diagnostic tools and the equipment for oil and filter changes, fuel filter and water separator service, coolant and belt checks, brake measurements, tire inspection, battery and charging tests and a scan for stored and pending codes. The ideal spot is firm, level pavement with room on all sides of the vehicle, plus a contact who can hand over keys and answer questions. Fleet visits are booked around your operation, so service happens on the days you named rather than the day something breaks.
Calendar intervals for low-mileage Celebration units
A van or shuttle that stays close to Celebration may take months to reach a mileage interval. Oil still ages, batteries still weaken in Florida heat, and brakes and tires still wear with every stop. For units like that, the plan sets a calendar interval alongside the mileage one, whichever comes first, so nothing waits on an odometer that barely moves. Aftertreatment gets a look at each visit as well, since diesels that idle a lot and rarely run at highway speed can struggle to clean their particulate filters; our article on DPF and regen problems lists what drivers should report.
Records and annual inspections for Celebration units
Every visit produces a digital vehicle inspection with photos and the technician’s notes. Kept together, those reports become a service history for each unit, which turns next year’s repair budget into a list instead of a guess.
Annual inspections go on the same calendar. The federal rule is simple: interstate commercial vehicles with a GVWR above 10,001 pounds are inspected once a year, and each report is retained for 14 months. On a plan, each unit’s annual is booked with its preventive maintenance, so the vehicle comes out of service once instead of twice.
Celebration fleet warranty and 24/7 roadside on I-4 and SR 417
Work done under an RDI Fleet account is backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile fleet warranty, and fleet accounts move to the front when an unplanned repair comes up. If a unit stops at night on I-4 or the SR 417 Southern Connector, where FDOT counts trucks as about a fifth of all traffic, 24/7 roadside assistance is part of the account. Engine and transmission work that needs a bay is planned into the Brooksville shop with you, around the days the unit can be spared.
