Each year, Americans drive 3.2 trillion miles, which puts a great deal of wear and tear on their vehicles. As many people look into how to help their vehicles last longer, they need knowledgeable mechanics who can provide superior service, and Mr. Transmission/Milex, a Moran Family brand, has been doing just that for over 50 years.
With 125 franchise locations, Mr. Transmission/Milex offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to break into the automotive industry. The co-branded offering provides consumers with one of the most comprehensive repair facilities in the industry while giving franchisees two lucrative revenue streams in transmission repair and general automotive repair. Additionally, with repeat business, ever-changing service requirements and higher-than-average ticket prices, franchisees can experience great profitability.
In addition to everything Mr. Transmission/Milex offers, Moran Family of Brands also offers Turbo Tint as an option for automotive window tinting, paint protection film and residential and commercial film, which allows even more opportunities for profit.
“The automotive aftermarket industry continues to grow annually as everyone is dependent on keeping their vehicles running. We’re seeing major shifts in the last 10 years that present amazing opportunities,” explained Pete Baldine, president of Moran Family of Brands. “Finding the right automotive franchise to buy and operate can be challenging, but we offer three great options with low startup costs.”
Mr. Transmission/Milex franchisees will have the opportunity to run their business on a professional, systematic platform that offers the most innovative vehicle repair options in the industry. They’ll receive extensive training and support from professionals who have extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with auto repairs.
While automotive or technical experience is helpful, it’s not a requirement for the company’s franchisees. The ideal franchise owner has management or sales experience and possesses an entrepreneurial spirit. They should also be committed to providing superior customer service and be eager to contribute to their local community. They are looking for those with an entrepreneurial spirit and willing to work within the framework of a proven system.
In the last three years, Moran Family of Brands has achieved record growth, and much of that is attributed to new and existing franchisees.
“Our existing franchisees have grown at a record pace in both sales and profitability,” said Baldine. “Just last year alone, 14 additional centers entered the million-dollar sales club.”
To help franchisees maintain this steady growth, Moran Family of Brands has focused heavily on growing its support center team so it can continue to aid franchisees and add valuable equity to the business. The franchisee support center helps owners take full advantage of market opportunities so they can grow their market share.
“The future looks great with all of the key indicators for automotive business growth trending in very positive directions,” Baldine said. “We have stayed on the cutting edge in researching the electric vehicle market and what opportunities that presents for our franchised businesses. Our technical department is second to none and continues to provide valuable information for the continued growth of our franchise system.”
