How We Will Support You
MARKETING
Unfortunately, not all of us are marketing professionals so our marketing team will manage this aspect of the business for each one of our Franchise Owners. There are very few, if any, other automotive franchise companies that offer this!
REAL ESTATE & CONSTRUCTION
Having built over 20+ locations corporately, we understand the ins and outs of the entire site selection and construction process so we’ve partnered with a couple of preferred vendors to oversee this process to find the best locations possible while keeping costs low.
TECHNOLOGY
We provide industry-leading and fully integrated technology into every aspect of the business: POS, a back-office system that’s linked to CARFAX, CRM, marketing, reviews, auto emails, reporting, and more.
TRAINING
We provide up to two weeks of extensive training held in Winston-Salem, NC and virtually through Strickland Brothers University.
