feature The automotive industry has been an important contributor to the US market and despite what the economy will do, it is predicted that the number of automotive franchises will climb due to developing countries and rising car ownership, maintenance and repairs of cars of owners who will prolong the life of their vehicles and for those who buy their first new car. According to the latest report by the International Franchise Association, the automotive industry is expected to grow 4.0% from 2012 to 2013 and automotive franchises contribute $25 billion annually to the economy and employ nearly 200,000 people. If you happen to find yourself in the garage most evenings and weekends working on that ’69 Dodge, or roaming the aisles of your local automotive parts store because you just want to see what they’ve got, you could say you have a passion for anything automotive. Now, what if you could turn that into a business? A profitable business? You would be doing what you love and making money at it. It is possible with franchising. The number of automotive franchisees is growing and there are many different kinds of automotive franchises to choose from. From auto body repair, to oil change and transmission services, to car rental franchises and windshield replacement, there is something for everyone.
