The First Tyre Plus Mobile franchise is a family run business which has been established for over 16 years at the time of writting this blog entry. The director Ivor Watson could saw an opportunity for offering a mobile tyre fitting and repair service for customers in a number of situations, including, customers needing immediate assistance (punctures or accidents) or customers too busy to drop off cars to fitting centres or garages. The first tyre plus mobile service is hassle free and they can offer on the spot replacement tyres, wheel balancing, wheel alignment , puncture repair or air conditioning servicing.
The service is mobile so they can work at the client’s home, office or anywhere else that is
convenient, a big selling point of this franchise is the convience factor. Every fitter is qualified
to NTDA standards and they carry the major brands of tyres at competitive prices. The franchisor is now growing a nationwide network of qualified franchisees and aim to have 1 franchise partner in each county across the UK by the end of 2010.
First TyrePlus is a family run business. They provide all necessary technical training as well as full
financial and accountancy training, health and safety training, marketing training and full ongoing
support.
Initial Franchise fee is £12,000 plus VAT.
Other set up costs include the lease of a vehicle, setting up a home based office and adequate working capital. All the franchise vans come complete with the following equipment: Professional Tyre Fitting Machine & Compressor, Alloy Wheel Protection System – to ensure that the customer’s Alloy
wheels do not receive damage during a tyre change and a Professional Wheel Balancing Machine.
All franchise partners have the freedom to decide for themselves how to charge for their personalised
tyre service. They are allocated a unique territorial postcode area. These areas are formulated by
research into potential tyre sales. Franchisees are expected to co- operate with other franchise
partners from neighbouring areas when necessary. For example when ill or holidays are required.
Franchisees would make their own sales calls to further their business. An initial list of potential
customers will be given to them in their starter pack. However, to ensure that their area excels, it is
important that they add to this potential client base.
