The History Of Auto-Lab

Founded in 1989, Auto-Lab began as a single store auto repair facility located in Sturgis, MI. The company quickly grew to five independent facilities focusing on tune-up and diagnostic services. Due to the success and growth of these sites, the company made the strategic decision to begin offering franchise opportunities in 1992. Since that time, the Auto-Lab franchise system has grown to upwards of 30 locations located in Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, and Texas.

As the industry continued to evolve, the company changed its name from "Auto-Lab Diagnostic and Tune-Up Centers" to "Auto-Lab Complete Car Care Centers". The name change captures our razor focus on complete car repair, while still maintaining a specialty in the most technologically advanced diagnostic services.

I already own an auto repair shop, can I make it an Auto-Lab Complete Car Care Center?

Yes, you can convert your current auto repair shop to an Auto-Lab Complete Car Care Center. In fact, we have an Auto-Lab conversion program in place. Contact our sales consultant for more information on our conversion program.

Is financing available?

Third party financing is available and may be used for up to 80% of your start-up cost. Auto-Lab Franchising is an SBA approved franchise which helps you get approved for your loan faster.
