Revive! is a leading mobile Car Repair Franchise in the UK. Established in 1994, Revive! now has a network of over 50 franchisees and nearly 200 vans on the road, including company-operated technicians to enable coverage for national accounts. Prime territories remain available, many with existing work in place!
Operating in the booming SMART repair industry, Revive! Franchisees run large territories and manage their own team of technicians who repair damage to car paintwork including bumper scuffs, minor chips and the refurbishment of alloy wheels.
With more than 50% of UK cars having damage to bodywork or alloys, demand for this service is considerable – and rising.
With c.40 million cars in the UK and over 50% having minor body work and wheel damage, invest in the market leading brand for your new business.
The simple-to-operate business model is based around a low number of skilled employees doing a small number of high-value jobs daily – minimising travel / fuel.
Enjoy your dream lifestyle working from home, interspersed with getting out to manage your team of technicians and build dealer and trade relationships.
Low investment, great cash flow, minimal overheads, high returns – the Revive! franchise is a proven route to build a valuable asset, a business to sell in the future.
Operate with a 5-star reputation for excellence from day 1; award-winning marketing support; a bespoke app; business mentoring; and a close-knit network of like-minded peers.
Statements based on existing franchisee performance, but do not offer a guarantee of success.
As the business owner you won’t be painting cars, you will be managing your team of technicians, driving your marketing, and building relationships with local dealers to grow your body shop business.
Your role changes as your business grows – once established, you will be the leader, working on the business, setting your lifestyle & generating excellent income from a valuable asset.
Your Customers: Serve the domestic, dealership and trade markets in your local area – there is more work than Revive! can supply, from end of lease and general upkeep, to prepping for sale.
Your target customer split is 50% domestic / 50% commercial and Revive!’s processes are approved by all the major marques, are electric car-compliant and are insurance & lease company-approved.
Your Team: The business model is built around employing a small number of skilled technicians and some supporting admin and sales staff, as you grow from 2 vans to 5 and then on to 10 vans in your first territory. To be successful you must be an excellent leader for your team, adept at managing people and great at communication.
