Car Care Centers

Next to your house, your car is probably your most expensive property, and it only makes sense to give it the best possible care you can. This means that you need to do more than just the usual check ups and maintenance routines – you also need to regularly take your car to a professional car-care center. How do you choose the best center for your car? Here are some aspects to consider.

Scope and variety of services are important. Choose a car-care center that covers everything your car needs, from transmission maintenance to wheel balancing, to electrical repairs and air-conditioning. You want a one-stop shop for all your car concerns – such a set up can help you save time and money in the long run.

Customer support is also important. You want a car-care center that has a competent team of customer-care representatives available to accommodate your specific requests and address whatever concerns you may have. Some car-care companies even go as far as to provide you with free roadside assistance, towing, or emergency repairs!

Meineke Car Care Center – Franchise Review

By Thomas E White

Meineke was founded in Houston, Texas, in 1972, by Sam Meineke. He started with one store and a single product line. The initial idea was to provide quality exhaust service at discount prices. Since then, it has grown and evolved. It is no longer a “muffler shop,” but is a well-known car care franchise. Its services include brake service, oil and lube service, front-end alignment, shock and strut service, and Catalytic converters. In the United States alone, there are more than nine hundred service centers. These centers are all geared toward perfect customer service and complete satisfaction. Meineke is a subsidiary of Driven Brands, which is the leading automotive franchise in the United States.

Meineke has very high brand recognition and customer loyalty is extremely high. This is because of the high quality customer service that is provided. The automotive aftermarket is a huge industry, which is recession proof. With so many cars on the road that need parts and service, Meineke has always grown, even during the recession.

The brand name is recognized by 92% of people living in the United States, and has been a strong presence for over thirty years. The wide range of services and the excellent customer service means that customers remain loyal to Meineke for all their automotive needs. Franchise opportunities are everywhere, as this is a continually growing industry which relies and thrives upon its franchises. It was ranked #55 in the Franchise 500, and #48 in America’s Top Global Franchises. Other media that give Meineke high ratings include Hispanic Enterprise Magazine, Franchise Times Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, Black Enterprise Magazine, the American Association of Franchises and Dealers, and National Minority Franchising Magazine. “Meineke Car Care Centers staff has board and committee seats on many franchise and automotive organizations including the International Franchise Association (IFA), the American Association of Franchises and Dealers (AAFD) and the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA). Meineke fully supports the IFA’s Vetfran program and is a founding charter member of their MinorityFran initiative.”
