Analysis

This is a proven concept in a needed space. The average age of a car on an American road is almost 13 years and they continue to get older. Furthermore, a repair is usually less expensive than buying a new car. With the franchise's name, proven history, and training program that keeps employees around for the long haul, AAMCO is an impressive opportunity. You need to be ready to work with blue collar workers and training everyone on staff to drive sales. This isn't about being sleazy, it's about being able to clearly explain to owners that an ounce of maintenance is worth a pound of cure. There are many multi-unit owners proving the scalability of the opportunity. Overall, this is an A+ opportunity in the franchise world for the right owner.
