Some Commonly Asked Questions About Owning a Mobile Fleet Repair Franchise with DuraFleet…
The DuraFleet franchise owner does not need prior mechanical experience but should share our passion for providing high-quality, essential mobile repair services to a growing market. Solid sales, networking, and relationship-building skills are particularly helpful. We seek financially qualified candidates who are inspired by our mission and are dedicated to growing and expanding their business.
Franchise owners and their managers will visit our flagship location in Virginia for up to five days, for comprehensive training on the DuraFleet franchise model, both in the classroom and on the job. Plus, through our remote coaching, our franchise team will make sure you are calm, confident, and excited when you launch your business. Owners will also have access to the DuraFleet Confidential Operations Manual for daily operations. Throughout the life of your franchise, our team is available to assist you when you need us. We are always just a call or click away.
The estimated initial investment necessary to begin operations ranges from $108,200 to $154,850. This includes a $54,900 initial franchise fee for the first franchise location and a discounted franchise fee for subsequent locations. Military veterans may receive a 10% discount on their initial franchise fee as well. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.
We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on a case-by-case basis.
We collect a royalty fee equal to 8% of gross receipts. Fees such as these allow us to fund our ongoing support services and the continued development of programs, marketing tools, training programs, recipes, and systems upgrades. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
Franchise owners will be required to spend a minimum of $3,000 per month on direct local marketing to suppliers such as Google, another $2,000 per year on grassroots and local marketing, and $16,200 to $18,000 on their Grand Opening (a portion of which is paid directly to the franchisor). They will also pay Digital Marketing Management and SEO/SEM fees directly to the franchisor, and they will initially contribute $400 per month to the brand marketing fund. Collected funds will be used to develop and implement marketing strategies to promote the DuraFleet brand and cover the creative costs to develop system-wide branded marketing materials and campaigns.
