Providing car owners with a one-stop-shop for factory scheduled maintenance service and repairs for autos, SUVs and MiniVans.
Precision Tune Auto Care is the right franchising concept for the times.
Precision Tune Auto Care began as a small tune-up shop in Beaumont, TX and has grown to 380 service centers operating in 7 countries. We are a recognized world leader in the automotive service industry. Our service centers provide diagnostics, scheduled maintenance and auto repairs. Our brand proposition can best be described as a successful combination of "customer care" and "car care" services. On top of all that, higher gas prices work to our advantage as people are servicing and repairing their vehicles instead of purchasing new ones.
Of course, our franchisees have played a major role in the success of Precision Tune Auto Care. To help our franchisees operate successfully and to meet the challenges of today's marketplace, we provide them with proven operating systems giving them every opportunity to succeed. Our value proposition includes (but is not limited to) the following:
30+ Years of International Franchise Success
World Class Management, Sales & Technical Training
Turn-Key Marketing & Advertising Programs
National Vendor Partnerships
Proven Proprietary POS System
24/7 Intranet Community
