Honest-1 Business
Model
The automotive repair and maintenance industry is
counter-cyclical, meaning it is recession resistant. As banks
tighten lending requirements and interest rates rise, more car
owners will hold onto their vehicles longer. This increases demand
for preventative maintenance and repairs. To capitalize on this
trend, Honest-1 offers a variety of services
and products designed to lengthen the life of vehicles while
maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions in support
of the environment.
 Honest-1
Programs
Honest-1 has multiple franchise programs that fit most situations
and investment levels. For current automotive repair center owners,
we offera conversion program that is simple
and straight forward and includes financial incentives. For
franchisees with little or no industry knowledge we provide
extensive and ongoing training and our relationships with real
estate developers can get you up and running in a new
"build-to-suit" center. For well qualified investors, Honest-1 also
offers an Area Representative/Master Franchise program that enables
a franchisee to develop a territory and share in the revenues
generated within their area. This variety of offerings positions
Honest-1 uniquely within the automotive industry and ensures we
have an opportunity that matches your circumstances.
Honest-1 Training
Honest-1 provides a complete training program for
all of our franchisees and its employees. We offer a one week
manager's school that covers running the front end of the business.
This includes the sales process, production, software, and managing
the shop. We also provide a one week owner's school that covers all
the back end operations of running a center.
Some aspects that are covered are accounting, marketing, human
resources, software, and business planning. This would all end with
one week of field training.
The trainee gets to actually work in a center and watch how all of
this comes together. Finally, Honest-1 provides support training to
all Area Representatives. This training teaches AR's how to support
the franchisees in their territory on a long term basis.
