Precision Tune Auto Care - Auto Repair Franchise



Precision Tune Auto Care is the right franchising concept for the times.

Precision Tune Auto Care began as a small tune-up shop in Beaumont, TX and has grown to 380 service centers operating in 7 countries. We are a recognized world leader in the automotive service industry. Our service centers provide diagnostics, scheduled maintenance and auto repairs. Our brand proposition can best be described as a successful combination of "customer care" and "car care" services. On top of all that, higher gas prices work to our advantage as people are servicing and repairing their vehicles instead of purchasing new ones.

Of course, our franchisees have played a major role in the success of Precision Tune Auto Care. To help our franchisees operate successfully and to meet the challenges of today's marketplace, we provide them with proven operating systems giving them every opportunity to succeed. Our value proposition includes (but is not limited to) the following:

 

  • 30+ Years of International Franchise Success
  • World Class Management, Sales & Technical Training
  • Turn-Key Marketing & Advertising Programs
  • National Vendor Partnerships
  • Proven Proprietary POS System
  • 24/7 Intranet Community
  • National & Local Support
  • Powerful Brand Proposition
  • Proven Business Model
  • Continuous Research & Development

"Our advantage is the best training in the industry and best support family group. Any time you need help, it's there. We're going to be around for a long time. I'm as optimistic today about the automotive aftermarket industry as I have been in the 15+ years I've been in this business and I will continue to invest. The cars aren't going anywhere; they still need servicing even if the services shift. We're still going to be there for them. I'm glad we're in this business, especially during a recession like now, with more and more people driving cars longer."
