An auto franchise can be the perfect venture for a car lover looking to start their own business. It provides you with independence and the ability to work within the industry you are most passionate about. But with all the various options around you want to be on the look out for key aspects that will ensure your success and business growth.
Pick A Booming Industry 
One of the most important things to look for is the opportunity for growth in a franchise. If you invest in an auto franchise that is already at its peak, there will not be a lot of room for a newcomer to establish themselves. You will be stuck trying to steal sales from people with similar business models. But in a rapidly growing industry such as mobile wheel repair, you have plenty of opportunities to expand your own business.
Pick A Company With An Exclusive Benefit
By finding an inherent edge that your auto franchise will have over similar competitors, you will simply be making it easier on yourself to get your new business established. Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists offer same day turnaround, something not many other wheel repair franchises can provide. This will immediately draw customers who are in a hurry to get their car fixed, which is most car owners.
Pick A Leader In The Field
Once you have found a field, it's time to side with a company that is already positioned to help you grow. Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists is one of the largest and most experienced companies of its kind. We have used our connections in the industry to become the leading provider of mobile wheel repair for retail stores and wholesale businesses.

Pick A Company That Will Help You Grow

You want someone interested in your personal success, especially if you are a first time business owner. Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists provides each new franchisee with one of our proven business development plans.

For those of you who have never been in franchising, or had the experience of being a franchise owner, you may be interested in what some of our most successful franchise owners had to say about their experience and what has made them some of the finest franchisees in the wheel repair industry.
Tom Perez, one of AWRS' first franchise members, was introduced to mobile alloy wheel repair in the early 2000's. As a pioneer, and part visionary of the future of AWRS, Tom has grown his wheel repair franchise to a highly successful business operating in multiple US States. I wanted to learn more about Tom's experiences so I took a few moments to ask him more about AWRS, his company and his entrepreneurial spirit that drives his franchise success.
AWRS: Tom, you've been with us for quite some time. Exactly when, how, and why did you decide to be a franchise owner?
Tom: I started with AWRS sometime in 2003. I had answered an ad placed by Tom Morris offering the purchase of an alloy wheel repair franchise. After speaking with Tom about his wheel repair business opportunity I decided that I wanted to be in control of my own destiny, so I decided to open a franchise.
AWRS: Why did you decide to buy a franchise rather than start your own business?
Tom: Franchises typically have a proven method, a solid marketing and warranty program and a name that is recognized. All of this creates solid net worth. Without a franchise anyone can take advantage of your company.
AWRS: What aspects of AWRS attracted you to this type of franchise opportunity?
Tom: When I started AWRS was not really on its feet. Tom Morris sold me hook line and sinker. The idea of providing a viable solid service that was unique to the auto industry is what most interested me.
AWRS: Are you a car lover, or were you in the auto industry before starting your franchise? If so, is it a benefit to you?
Tom: I am not really a car lover and frankly know very little about them. So for me, the benefit doesn't apply; however, there are many franchise owners in our company that are car lovers and the idea of being involved in the auto industry is simply icing on the cake.
AWRS: What qualities and special skills are necessary to be a franchise owner and specifically to repair alloy wheels?
Tom: To be a successful franchise owner I believe you need to be a solid planner, have some sales/people skills and a great work ethic. AWRS does provide an inital two week training as well as continued learning & support so having knowledge of wheel repair isn't initially required. However I do believe you have to be willing to get your hands dirty and be somewhat mechanically inclined.
AWRS: What are some of the challenges you face as a franchise owner?
Tom: There are many challenges in being a franchise owner. Most of all I find that keeping my equipment running efficiently and managing employees is a constant reminder of the challenges of being a franchise owner. But those challenges can be overcome by the benefits of increasing net worth.

There are a variety of franchising possibilities in the world. If you look at any online franchise directory, it may seem like a daunting task to find the right franchise opportunity for you. Variables such as the type of franchise, start-up cost, corporate stability, locations available and experience necessary will likely factor into your decision to learn more.
The first step in choosing the right franchise opportunity is to understand why you should even consider franchising in the first place. Do you feel trapped in your current job? Is there a ceiling or limit to the money you can earn? Do you desire to be your own boss? These are common reasons that we've heard from past candidates on why they wanted to become a franchisee. If you have felt this way in your present career, you may want to consider franchising as your guide to corporate and financial freedom.
Why franchise? Quite simply, less risk. 80% of new small business fail within the first two years. Conversely, 92% of franchise businesses are still operating after five years. Granted, for a variety of reasons, not all franchise business last. It is important to do your research and choose franchise opportunities with a strong business model, constant corporate support, and niche in the market.
Automotive franchising, specifically auto repair, has become an attractive opportunity. In today's economy, owners are holding on to their
vehicles and opting to avoid the expense of monthly car payments. Oil change, engine repair, auto glass repair, bumper painting, and window tinting are popular franchises in the auto industry; however, one area of concentration gaining popularity is alloy wheel repair. Most cars coming out of the factory are standard with expensive alloy wheels. Curbs, potholes, road debris, chemicals and weather elements will damage alloys over time. Replacement costs can run up to $500 per wheel! The need for alloy wheel repair has been born and is in the beginning stage of a booming industry.
Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists is at the forefront of the industry and is a fully mobile operation. Without the need for a brick and mortar location, the franchise fee is affordable with above average profits. As the world's largest mobile wheel repair company with over 160 franchise locations worldwide, the business model is a proven success and franchisees enjoy the entrepreneurial freedoms of owning their own business.

AWRS is a franchise. What is a franchise?
Allow us to explain the legal differences:
1. Franchise Opportunities – franchising is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. All potential buyers must be presented with a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) by the franchisor. This FDD will contain an entire prospectus of the franchisor, its financials, and a complete list of current franchisees and their contact information.
Generally speaking, potential buyers’ overall success is much greater with this type of regulated business opportunity. You cannot be conned if you do your homework.
2. General Business Opportunity – While there are state laws regulating business opportunities, most start-up companies generally follow this route because they are undercapitalized. Since one does not have to follow any type of Federal Law, less money is required up front to actually sell a business opportunity. Many companies selling
a business opportunity violate State and Federal laws and will rely on inexperienced investors to buy without checking it out.
3. Training and Equipment Offerings – These opportunity sellers prey on the naïve buyer. They will reason with the buyer that buying anything other than their offering is a waste of money. They do not supply a list of references,
their contact information, nor names of one or two of their close friends. Their training program is limited and they typically supply inferior equipment to complete job requirements. One is doomed to fail as they are not equipped to compete against a company such as Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists.
