Auto-Lab Is Your Greatest Choice For Auto-Repair Franchising Opportunities in Illinois !
Do you dream of opening your own automotive repair and service business but are afraid to take the plunge? As a growing car servicing franchise system that offers a complete range of diagnostic services and repairs at competitive prices, Auto-Lab offers fantastic franchising opportunities for those who are interesting in joining the ranks of small business owners.
In general, the automotive industry offers many benefits for those seeking franchise opportunities. The industry is both large and able to withstand recessions well. Unlike other franchise types such as food or retail, automotive franchise services cannot be outsourced and do not face competition from online retailers. Furthermore, consumer demand for the services of automobile repair shops is high as the average age of cars in the U.S. increases and owners face a growing need to find affordable service for their out-of-warranty vehicles.
Auto-Lab's service focus is solely on automobile diagnostics and repairs; this specialization allows our franchises to offer an affordable alternative for their customers as compared to dealership service departments and other repair shops.

- To become your own boss.
- To own your own small business and build personal net worth.
- To minimize many of the small business start-up risks that exist by partnering with a franchise system with an established business model.
- To establish an attractive and reasonable transition of ownership or retirement in the future by being part of a business system and brand name that is more desirable to potential buyers.
The Benefits Of Franchising With Auto-Lab in Illinois
Many Americans dream of opening their own business, but often the risks of setting out on your own seem too great to overcome. Perhaps you've considered searching for an auto repair shop for sale, but you have concerns about your ability to start from scratch all on your own without support. For this type of would-be business owner, the benefits of franchising can be incredible.
Moreover, becoming part of a franchise system provides you with more options in the future if you ever decide to retire or sell as franchises that are part of respected and successful systems are much more attractive to potential buyers than small independent business would be. Lastly, even if you have no automotive background or mechanical experience, the franchise system can provide the training and support you need to get you started with an automotive franchise of your own.
About Auto-Lab And Our History Of Franchising
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.
