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.
Why Auto-Lab versus another auto repair franchise?

Is financing available?
