Our many years of experience and cutting edge systems provide independent Glass Doctor franchises the direction that helps them achieve their business goals.
Research shows that customers are more likely to trust a company with a strong national name. You'll be recognized as part of a national organization of businesses - adding strength and value to your enterprise - and have a powerful association with The Dwyer Group®, one of the world's premier franchisors of service businesses. Helping you build and strengthen your business means more than supplying you with systems and training. It means helping you project a national presence with a strong and positive image - while giving you all the advantages of local ownership.
"We started with four full-time employees and one part-time employee. We had to hit the ground running. I couldn’t afford to wait for the phone to ring. The Glass Doctor system gave me a framework so that I knew our customers would be taken care of. I could focus on working on the business, not in the business. After two-and-a-half years we relocated to a new shop. That investment helped a lot to expand our capability." - Tom Ashley, Glass Doctor of Okaloosa and Walton Counties, Florida

You will be assigned a regional director who is only a phone call away and circulates through your area frequently to advise you on your franchise's growth and progress.
"I never had any business training or management training. I realized we needed to get the business in order, but I wasn’t sure how to do it. The Glass Doctor business system helped right away. Financially, we started tracking our numbers and doing the budgeting, profit-and-loss reports, and balance sheets. Now I can offer my service technicians different financial incentives and commissions, because they’re a major part of the business success." - Steve Melahn, Glass Doctor of Madison, Wisconsin
