Description
This is one of the nation’s TOP automotive franchises with hundreds of locations around the US and Canada and considered a “Lifestyle” business/franchise model (more about that later- important)! Additionally, this franchise brand is recognized as one of THE best when it comes to warranties for your customers which gives them a positive household name and a serious edge over the competition. More than that, they do tons of nationwide TV advertising and the likelihood you’ve seen their ads this week is probably pretty good making them the equivalent of McDonalds for the automotive industry! That’s say’n something.
Here’s something you’ll really appreciate…You, as the owner, really don’t need a deep knowledge of the automotive industry and you’ll likely never turn a wrench as 99% of owners either run these locations semi-absentee or just do general management. The nice thing about this business model, that owners tend to love, is the fact that you have TIME, time to spend with family or kids (baseball games, recitals, fishing trips, etc.). We call this a “lifestyle” business. Taking time off is not that tough once you have a few months of running the business under your belt. When we owned our locations, we regularly took 4 to 8 weeks (yes, that’s up to 2 months) off a year as you’ll have a good manager that can run the company day to day! This is the inside secret that many people in this business don’t tell you. And as to what they specialize in… the brand/location specializes in “complete car care” including brakes, transmissions, electrical, oil changes, tune-ups etc.
