The word Mobile is a good one, not because it will connect you with Mobil Oil, but because it will make people think of things like mobile phones, mobile connectivity, mobile convenience. Consider text type shortcuts, like KarKare2U, Mobile Mechanix, or Gr8 Lube, They are memorable and lend themselves to good graphics. Mobile doesn't mean these days that you use Mobil Oil. It means you can be tracked on Twitter. So, set up a mobile scheduling system that can be put the control in the hands of anyone with a cell phone, and make an effort to use tools like Twitter.

QR Code on the truck, 3 month service notifications via Twitter/Facebook/SMS. Maybe a fun service reminder window cling with a QR Code to scan to schedule/sign up for reminders/access maintenance records. You can take plastic via iPhone these days. Paypal is trying to break into brick and mortar through their mobile apps, though I don't know how good the deal is for merchants.

Be careful with location-based posts, as your customer's privacy may be compromised.

Wordpress sites go together really quickly and are cheap. Google Apps for domains is available for free, and will give you an email address, calendaring tools, and a really nice feature that lets you put a form on your site that feeds straight into a Google Docs spreadsheet.

Google Adwords seems to send me $100 free advertising vouchers regularly. I don't know if it's because I have an Adsense account or what.

The .com is available... The initials are available as a .me, which would make for a good social media URL shortener domain, and would be easier to enter on a phone.
