The #1 Car Detailing Franchise Brand
Auttimo is the most recognized and trusted name in mobile detailing, paint correction and ceramic coating in the US. Our trailers are seen by hundreds of thousands of consumers across BC daily, and we have a very strong advertising and social media presence online.
When consumers think of car detailing, they think of Auttimo. Our services and advertising generated over 4,500 new customer leads in 2020.
The #1 Car Detailing Franchise for Software, Systems, Training and Support
For over 30 years we have been striving to create and improve our systems, methodologies and best practices to increase the performance, efficiency and profitability of our franchisees. Our franchisees enjoy an outstanding work/life balance while earning $150,000 to $1,000,000 in revenue annually, more than enough to have the income and freedom to live their best lives.
As a Auttimo franchisee, you will also have access to our proprietary Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software Auttimo Jobs, as well as a suite of CRM and Bookkeeping software systems offered by our strategic partners, saving you hours of paperwork every month. Earning a strong income is great, but earning more money in less time is even better.
Leads: How We Generate Work for our Car Detailing Franchises
Over 4,500 new customers contacted us for a free quote in 2020, increasing from 2,500 in 2018 and 3,500 in 2020. All inquiries are processed through our Call Centre and then dispatched to our franchisees across the US who are open to taking new customers. You will have the ultimate in flexibility by only taking leads for the work you want, and only when you want it.
You can purchase as many leads as you need to build/grow your business and you will be starting with 50 free leads. Our closing ratio on leads is approximately 80%. In other words, 4 out of 5 leads convert into business.
We had so much work in 2021 that we turned away over 1,000 new customers because we didn’t have enough franchisees to meet demand. Over 50% of our franchisees are at capacity and are no longer taking on new work on a regular basis.
The #1 Car Detailing Franchise Means You Harness the Power of our Group Advertising
Building a business is no longer what it used to be. Gone are the days when you could build a car detailing business with a pickup truck, and some flyers. Businesses today require a strong website, and a very solid understanding of online marketing, advertising and social media. New businesses can waste tens of thousands of dollars on online advertising with very limited results. We do this all for you, expertly, and with the advertising budget of an organization of over 65+ franchisees.
With Auttimo, each of our franchisees contribute to a group advertising fund, and the combined advertising budget of over 65+ franchisees is leveraged geographically to benefit the franchisees who need it most.
With a Auttimo Franchise it’s all for one, and one for all.
The #1 Car Detailing Franchise for Pricing Power
The Auttimo brand delivers strong pricing power. Auttimo is the recognized premium service provider in the US, which translates to higher demand from higher margin customers.
Compared to our competitors, our pricing is 20-30% higher (and in the top 10% of our industry). Our customers recognize us as the premium service provider and are willing to pay premium prices for our services because we deliver value.
We have the highest standards of performance in the industry, including uniformed employees, new trucks, clean & branded trailers, and all our owners/operators are police background checked.
The #1 Car Detailing Franchise opportunity: Our Customers
Our two core demographics are an aging population who desire to remain in their homes, and young professional 2-earner families with young children and little time for maintaining their homes. They use us because they trust us.
Both our core demographics will continue to show strong demand for decades to come.
The #1 Car Detailing Franchise: Recession and Pandemic Proof
Auttimo has continued to grow at a steady pace over the past 25 years. Even through recessions and the Coronavirus pandemic, our sales and number of franchisees have continued to grow at a strong pace.
Interestingly, the Coronavirus pandemic had an overall positive effect on our business, with new business up over 25% compared to the same period last year. Consumers are less able/willing to travel and are therefore spending a large proportion of their discretionary budget on home improvement, especially on their outdoor spaces.
What You Need to Get Started with the #1 Car Detailing Franchise Worldwide
You can purchase a Auttimo franchise territory for $30,000. Beyond that you will need a clean used truck ($7-$12,000), an Auttimo trailer ($5-$15,000) and a start-up equipment package ($6,500) to start your lawn mowing franchise in BC. This equipment package includes everything required to perform the basic jobs for which you will be contracted. Specialized equipment can also be purchased (or leased) but is not necessary for the basic operation of the Auttimo franchise.
Other than the truck, trailer and tools of the trade, very limited space, furniture and equipment are required to operate a successful Auttimo franchise. Most of the tools needed to run a franchise are stored in the Auttimo trailer, and the truck and trailer are usually street parked to benefit from free street advertising. A small parking area can be rented on private property at a reasonable cost in most municipalities (to store the trailer if street parking is not permitted).
The #1 Car Detailing Franchise: Work for Yourself, not by Yourself.
Auttimo Franchisees have all the benefits of the small owner-operator (quality of work, personalized service, premium customer experience, etc.), but also enjoy all the benefits of a large organization (enterprise systems, support, training, research & development, advertising, and marketing expertise).
An Auttimo franchise is really the best of both worlds.
