“Wehaveanumber of exSupermarket
Store Managers with us. They were
used to having a lot of responsibility,
a lot of staff and they wanted to do
something else. They bring with them
the ability to take responsibility for
themselves. They are self-motivated.

brings to the business is they help

It is essential that a franchisee
has the capability to work alone.
For a person to make a success of

franchise owner promotes himself
and their business. The scope for
business is tremendous. It is only
limited by the number of cars, truck,
vans and motorbikes on the road.
A Car Care franchisee has a
tremendous advantage in that he/
she is part of the only national car
detailing company in the country. The
major motor companies Ford, Holden,
Mazda, Honda, Audi and Mitsubishi
regularly employ detailing companies
for product launches, sporting events,
etc.
As they prefer to deal with a single
company, Car Care is the only choice
as it is present across the entire
country. The franchise owner will be
required to take up this corporate
business and should be capable of
handling it.
It is not important whether a
franchisee has had previous detailing
experience. Only a few of Car Care’s
franchise owners have done this work
in the past. The company provides

the franchise owner’s territory that
includes making actual visits to
customers. The person undergoing
