Grease m on K ey Poise D for n ext e ra of Growt H –s ur Passin G 500 u nits

Grease Monkey ®, a flagship brand under the FullSpeed Automotive® umbrella, is gearing up for its next era of growth as it is set to surpass 500 units open by mid-2023.

Multi-unit expansion continues to play a strategic role in the brand’s development as new and existing franchisees are doubling down on growth opportunities, riding the wave of Grease Monkey’s nationwide growth by expanding their portfolios. Currently, much of the Grease Monkey system is comprised of multi-unit franchisees.

Driving Grease Monkey’s franchise growth strategy is the newly appointed President of Franchise, Ron Stilwell. Previously serving as Chief Development Officer for FullSpeed Automotive, Stilwell has played a significant role in helping grow FullSpeed Automotive’s unit count by 31% in 2022 to date. With a competitive edge, boasting 35-plus years of industry experience, Stilwell is leading the strategy

of the operations department, development, training, purchasing, and more.

FullSpeed Automotive is building a team of best-in-class leaders to elevate and fuel growth for its flagship brands. With a fresh, revitalized approach to the business and the implementation of several strategic enhancements, the future is bright for Grease Monkey, as this is an exciting chapter in the organization’s growth story.

Multi-Unit Franchisees

Building Robust Portfolios

Grease Monkey is seeing increasing interest from those looking to diversify their portfolios, while expanding with existing franchisees.

For example, Tyson Daniels took a leap of faith and left his job to go out on his own nearly 10 years ago. Purchasing his first Grease Monkey franchise has provided many opportunities and individual growth. Since then, he’s bought and sold locations, doubled revenue, and is always looking for ways to continue growing the number of shops and service offerings. To date,

Daniels’ portfolio consists of seven Grease Monkey facilities, and he is in the process of acquiring three more.

“With the right concept and a proven track record, now is the time to commit to accelerated development,” said Daniels. “Follow the model and commit to executing at the highest level, and you’ll see the sales increases follow. This will open the door to more growth opportunities.”

When franchisees sign on for a threecenter minimum agreement, they receive multi-unit discounts on the franchise fee

Ron Stilwell

(first location: $39,900; second location: $20,000; third or subsequent locations: $15,000 each).

Another standout multi-unit franchisee is Brian Morrison, who brings 23 years of automotive industry experience to the table as he’s grown his portfolio to include six Grease Monkey facilities – with one additional site in development – and three SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® locations.

One aspect of the business model that initially caught Morrison’s eye was that it offered a wide array of services beyond quick-lube and preventative maintenance.

With a full-service operation – from brakes to tires, oil changes, manufacturer’s recommended services, and more – the business allows the opportunity to provide an array of services that customers need. In addition, Morrison was particularly interested in the Veteran program for franchisees.

Specifically, Grease Monkey ranks no. 6 in Entrepreneur Magazine as a Top Franchise for Veterans, and as an IFA VetFran member, Grease Monkey offers a $10,000 discount off the franchise fee for Veterans and First Responders.

“The Veteran program allowed me to save almost $40,000 in my first year of business, which has certainly paved the way for my continued growth,” said Morrison. “I don’t know what the total unit-count endgame looks like, I just know that building my empire is easy, fun, and rewarding. So right now, I don’t see an end in sight.”

Paving the Way for aggressive Franchise development

With an aggressive franchise development and M&A strategy, Grease Monkey plans to continue expansion efforts across the country. Leadership sees a particular growth opportunity in several markets to include: Southern California; Phoenix, AZ; Houston, TX; and key DMAs in Florida such as Jacksonville, Miami, and Orlando, among other territories nationwide.

In 2022, FullSpeed brands have grown from 703 units to over 900 company,

franchised, and licensed units. FullSpeed also recently unveiled its highly anticipated new store models that are set to fuel the next wave of expansion.

“2022 has been a strong year for Grease Monkey,” said Stilwell. “You can see growth is accelerating. We’ve invested resources and capital to prepare for the future and are committed to upholding our position as a leader in franchisee support and unmatched customer service. There’s vast whitespace across the country, and we’re laser-focused on breaking into these untapped markets.”

When franchisees invest with FullSpeed Automotive brands, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and proven business models backed with a combined 70+ years of experience in providing quality car care in the industry.

‘store of the Future’ – new store Models

Grease Monkey hits the accelerator on franchise growth with new store models designed to improve customer service within compact real estate footprints. The ‘Store of the Future’ models emphasize an enhanced customer experience while improving efficiency for franchisees who are driving nationwide expansion.

The auto aftermarket repair industry has been largely outdated and untouched, making the all-new model a revolutionary move in an effort to modernize the industry. The key features of the new prototype include new express lanes with a 15-minute stay-in-the-car model, clear and directional signage on the parking lot to bring ease to the consumer, all new comfortable lounge areas and patio seating

with refreshments and entertainment for units that already provide additional services, and state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence that will educate, inform, and streamline the customer experience.

The store will have a distinctively branded exterior featuring a new slogan, “Done Fast. Done Right.™” Square footage will vary based on real estate. The new model can also be adapted to fit existing auto-service facilities. Beta tests are beginning this year and will roll out to new franchisees, with the option for existing franchisees to upgrade next year.

“While the customer experience is at the forefront of every strategic decision, we anticipate the flexible, new store models to be a real source of attraction for eager and sophisticated franchisees,” said Stilwell. “When franchising, it’s critically important to ensure that the cost of the build works well with the economic model and provides a great ROI for years to come. We feel we’ve achieved that with these new prototypes, saving money and construction costs while maximizing operational efficiencies to drive franchisee profitability.”

With fast-growth and strong performance – boasting $1,452,160 average net sales for the top quartile of sales averages* – Grease Monkey is looking to bring on qualified and engaged individuals seeking single, multi-unit, and conversion opportunities.

as your next investment

If you are someone considering franchise investment, an automotive franchise may be the right road. These franchises offer a fantastic opportunity to step into a stable, lucrative industry.

Statistics tell us that if you’re reading these words, your household most likely owns at least two vehicles — as a matter of fact, 15 million vehicles were sold in the U.S. last year alone and there are currently 284 million cars on the road. The demand for car-centric concepts is certainly there.

This market offers variety far beyond an oil change. Here are four ideal concepts to rev up revenue in your life.

More than Vanity

Typically, health and cars are not related — until now. As more research emerges and awareness spreads on the importance of skin protection, window tint shops and their customers are catching on. Increasing demand for better UV protection has

resulted in a surge for dependable window tint companies. Tint Experts has answered the call. The brand only carries film verified to block UVA and UVB rays, resulting in 99.9% infrared reduction. With this drastic blockage, the heat reduction is quite noticeable. Plus, tint attracts people for the luxurious, high-end look it gives to vehicles. All in all, window tint is a winning choice for auto franchises.

Proprietary Product lines

As you consider the many automotive franchises in the market today, take a look at concepts that offer application of products not found anywhere else. For example, Drexler Ceramic has created a proprietary product line created for interior and exterior protection solutions. Franchise owners will experience dependable product sourcing and guaranteed quality. This high-end ceramic coating is extremely marketable in the car detailing space. Many transactions are higher tickets due to the nature of the business. As with any specialty concept, customer retention is high due to brand loyalty as trust builds.

Must-Have Repairs

When it comes to vehicle repairs, there are many that are non-negotiable. Brakes, oil, tires — these are the types of needs that make so many auto concepts recessionproof. One such must-have is glass repair.

Windshields, for example, can crack from a small pebble at high speeds. The unexpected very well may be covered under insurance, motivating customers to opt for a repair sooner rather than later. American Mobile Glass Repair, for example, covers all glass replacement. This is also a great type of business to choose since it is applicable for commercial clients, such as dealerships or truck fleets.

staying Mobile

Any business that goes mobile automatically lowers overhead. Auto Llama is a fantastic example of a mobile concept that does this. The Cincinnatibased franchise specializes in brake repair, going straight to the customer with all

parts and equipment needed to complete the job. Customer convenience is a huge differentiator for this and any mobile concept (we can all relate to not needing a ride to and from the brake shop being very attractive). More points of viability are the high profit margins, flexible scheduling, and easier scalability.

Auto franchises give you a proven step into an industry where you can make money, enjoy what you do, and serve your community. Many auto-related concepts are recession-resistant and applicable within any major market.

Now he’s one of the franchise owners powering leading auto accessory and window tinting franchise as it continues its successful national expansion with the

opening of its new store in Springfield, Pennsylvania.

“I’ve always been a car guy, so when I decided to look into franchising opportunities, Tint World® was the obvious solution,” Lloyd said. “It was a time in my life when I needed a transition, and I knew franchising offered the freedom and flexibility I was searching for. But I didn’t

truly connect with a franchise concept until I discovered Tint World®.”

premier automotive styling franchise also offers an unmatched selection of products from the industry’s leading brands.

“Because of my interest and experience, I recognized the quality and value they offer,” Lloyd said. “I immediately knew that owning a Tint World® franchise meant I would get the chance to spend every day doing something I already love — and getting paid for it.”

Whether it’s training new franchisees, helping owners resolve issues at their stores or setting up new systems, it’s easy to tell that they’re

all experts and they all want to see owners grow their business. That inspires franchisees to continuously perform their best.”

Leading Automotive Franchise to Enter The Netherlands, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Kuwait, Ivory Coast, Nigeria & Greece

In addition, there will be a new location in Iraq that will open in November. The Ivory Coast location is planning to open in early December, and both Nigeria and Greece locations are planning to open their doors in early 2023.

“We continue to see heightened demand for vehicle protection services domestically

and overseas,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, President and CEO of Ziebart International Corporation. “As more consumers understand the value of investing in their current vehicles to keep them protected and looking like new, we foresee ongoing interest from Master Franchisees looking to bring Ziebart to their respective countries.”

“The concept of extending the life of your vehicle is something that will always cross cultural borders,” said Naji Younes, Vice President of International Business Development. “Wanting to protect your car from the elements and looking and feeling new is universal.”

the snap-on Franchise

Snap-on’s franchise business comprises of a mobile tool store that is owned and operated by the franchisee. Utilising a network of over 180 franchised locations in Australia and New Zealand, franchisees sell and service the top tool brand in the world directly to professional tool users at their place of business. This includes companies associated with the repair or service of cars, trucks, motorcycles aeroplanes and marine vehicles.

Snap-on Tools was founded in 1920 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Five unique handles and ten sockets that snapped on interchangeably, coined “Five do the work of Fifty.” This launched a company that is now a global entity. In Australia and New Zealand, Snap-on Tools commenced operations in 1988.

Snap-on Tools is a leading innovator, manufacturer and marketer of hand tools,

power tools, diagnostics, tool storage units and equipment solutions for professional tools users. The company is known as the world’s leading tool brand. Snap-on has more than 56,000 products and operates in more than 130 countries.

Ajit Ponnambalam, the Managing Director of Snap-on Tools Australia and New Zealand states, “Snap-on is an iconic brand that has been around for over 100 years. Our high-quality products are well known for their craftsmanship and delivering maximum performance, durability and versatility.

Over the years, Snap-on has seen growth due to the strength of its franchising business model in Australia. The resilience of the business meant during the peak of the pandemic, Snap-on franchisees were still able to operate due to being considered an ‘essential service’. What is worth noting is that in 2021, Snap-on Tools Australia and New Zealand franchisees went on to record their best sales results ever! This is an impressive feat considering all the challenges that were brought on by COVID-19.

What Makes snap-on a Great Franchise opportunity

Snap-on is an award-winning franchise with over 4,500 franchises globally. Snap-on is one of the largest non-food franchisors in the world. When you become a Snap-on franchisee, you are supported by a dedicated field team,

customer service, franchise coordinators and much more.

“Snap-on is a trusted brand that has been in Australia and New Zealand for almost 35 years,” mentions Ponnambalam. “The extensive training you’ll receive in Dallas USA and the support you’ll receive when you start on the road and afterwards is second to none”.

On-going support and training are provided once a franchisee is on the road. Additionally, franchisees have opportunities to attend conferences, a variety of training sessions and sales meetings throughout the year.

There are also regular competitions and special deals to excite and engage with customers.

Regular events are held to network with other franchisees. Snap-on is actively involved in Australia & New Zealand motorsport supporting V8 Supercar Teams Kelly Grove Racing, Erebus Motorsport and DJR Racing along with our brand ambassadors Todd Waters and Jake Jones.

Purchasing a Snap-on franchise is a life-changing decision. It offers endless possibilities and a potential for you to grow and expand.

Ponnambalam acknowledges this, ”We

have a number of franchisees who have been with the business for over 30 years. Some even have two or three mobile stores.”

“The longstanding franchisees have become successful as they are loyal, dedicated and driven. They are hardworking individuals who have a passion for the brand and automotive industry”, says Ponnambalam. “These franchisees have rapport with their customers, building long and solid relationships which brings fulfilment and job satisfaction. Some of our most successful franchisees have the back-end support from their partners while the franchisees are out on the road running the day-to-day operations and visiting service departments.”

the Golden ticket competition

Increasing the head count of Snap-on franchisees in Australia and New Zealand is important to expand the business. Franchise recruitment campaigns are conducted frequently through digital advertising and print means.

The Golden Ticket Competition is an innovative idea that arose in early-2020. It was an effective way of tapping into the franchisees’ network using the power of word of mouth. Be it friends, acquaintances or customers, a franchisee has a wide range of people they can talk to about franchising opportunities with Snapon. Referring someone they know to be a Snap-on franchisees is great leverage for Snap-on as a franchisor.

“The franchisee has the relationship in place. They can show firsthand how

the business and operation works. The franchisees understand what it takes to be successful in running a Snap-on franchise”, says Ponnambalam.

The Golden Ticket Competition was very successful, resulting in a high number of leads converting into franchisees. “Our Golden Ticket promotion has been a great platform to generate excitement amongst our franchisee network by creating the money can’t buy experience” says Ponnambalam. “In August 2022, we had 4 franchisees and partners travel to Dallas, Texas for a once in a lifetime experience where they got to see the sights of Dallas, attend our global Snap-on Sales Franchise Conference and meet fellow franchisees from around the world”.

are you ready to drive your own success?

Snap-on welcomes those from a diverse range of backgrounds to get in touch. Business-minded individuals who share our values and take pride in their work are the type of people we are looking for. If you are passionate about Snapon, driven, motivated and have a strong work ethic then a Snap-on franchise is a great opportunity for you.
