Rev Up With This Outstanding Automotive Franchise!
Grease Monkey International, Inc. is one of the largest vehicle preventive maintenance franchisors not owned by a major oil company. Our independence gives us the advantage of being able to focus on servicing our customers' needs, rather than selling a specific brand of oil products. It also allows us more aggressive purchasing power within the industry so we can supply our franchisees with the products and services they need to build and run a successful operation.
The Grease Monkey organization has approximately 240 vehicle preventive maintenance service providers across the United States and in Mexico, and the market potential for Grease Monkey automotive franchise centers continues to increase. According to research data compiled by Automotive News, the number of vehicles sold in the U.S. increased by 1.4% from 2003 to 2004. Increased vehicle sales mean even higher potential for the automotive services industry in the coming years.
A commitment to success
At Grease Monkey, our objective is to help each franchise owner identify and achieve their goals. Our corporate management team has a long history in both franchising and vehicle preventive maintenance, and is committed to building strong, lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with our franchisees. We pride ourselves in offering a comprehensive list of support services to our franchisees before, during and well beyond a center start-up, including:
- Site selection assistance
- Lease and purchase negotiations
- Third-party financing
- Center design and construction
- Technical training
- Marketing and advertising
- Business management and accounting
- National account purchasing
Building a successful Grease Monkey operation requires not only solid business experience and management skills, but also the willingness to make a serious dedication of time, energy and financial resources. You will need to have liquid assets of $250k and a net worth of $500k. The majority of Grease Monkey centers are owned by individual franchisees who are committed to taking an active part in building their own business. Along with our comprehensive business planning advice, and technical and marketing support, franchise owners benefit from the Grease Monkey brand, distinctive logo and established reputation in achieving success.
Grease Monkey is currently developing opportunities in markets across the country with several attractive franchise vehicles to choose from:
- Single-center franchise - the right to develop a single center in a specified geographic area.
- Exclusive Territory Development Agreement (ETDA) franchise - the right to develop three or more centers within a specific geographic area exclusively.
- Conversion franchise - transforms your existing automotive/lube business to a Grease Monkey preventive maintenance center.
- Business acquisition - Buying an existing operation can be an excellent way to get started as a Grease Monkey franchisee. You have the benefit of established cash flow and a customer base that you can then build upon.
