🔁 Fleet Subscriptions + MRR Engine
Mike's wife was scared of warranty drain — random people installing parts wrong and blaming MDC.
Here's the flip: Instead of selling risky one-off parts, MDC sells monthly fleet protection contracts. Trucking fleets, HVAC, logistics — they pay every month to guarantee uptime. Predictable. Insulated. Hers to love.
🛡 The Two-Business Firewall (for Mike's wife — the answer to "can we get sued?")
The Golden Rule: Selling a tool or a part to a cook doesn't make you responsible if they burn the dinner. As long as MDC isn't the one turning the wrench in their driveway, MDC carries zero installation liability.

🛡 Warranty Loss Shield · YTD: 0.00%
The software enforces strict rules that make warranty drain mathematically impossible. No exceptions, no manual overrides, no "but we always did it that way."
🔒 Rule 1: Certified Installer Required
Full warranty ONLY activates if installed by an MDC-network certified shop OR digital line-flush proof uploaded at delivery.
🔒 Rule 2: Parts-Only Default
If a backyard buyer takes a loose core, warranty is parts-only / zero labor. They blow it up → no refund check from MDC.
🔒 Rule 3: Line-Flush Waiver Mandatory
Checkout cannot complete without checking the line-flush waiver. Cooler-line failure = automatic warranty void.
🔒 Rule 4: Photo Proof on Subscription Claims
Tier 2 fleets uploading roadside claim must include geo-tagged photos. Stops fraudulent "my truck broke" claims cold.

🪵 Heavy-Duty Trades
Hauling heavy loads up steep grades destroys transmissions. Prime targets for Tier 2.

Tourism-driven. 7-day operations. Fleets hauling tools/supplies 24/7 across ridges.
~24 in 100mi📦 Short-Haul Logistics
Cannot afford 3 weeks in a dealer queue. They will pay anything for 24-hour turnaround.
~18 in 100mi🚛 Specialty Heavy Rigs
Specialized hydraulics. No regular shop will touch them. MDC has the gear.
~12 in 100mi📞 The pitch (what Deb says when they call)
For $99 a month we put you at the front of the line in our 8-bay shop. Free monthly health checks with photos so you catch leaks before they explode. 15% off any industrial part cleaning.
And if you want bulletproof — for $299 a month we guarantee 24-hour diagnostic turnaround or you get a credit, plus roadside dispatch across the whole 100-mile corridor.
