When you start a new business, one of your goals will be to rank well above your competitors. However, it can be difficult to do so in the automotive services industry. A top 10 automotive franchises rating is nearly impossible to attain unless you franchise with a brand that has already achieved that ranking.
Since our start in 1962, Big O Tires has firmly established itself as one of the best automotive franchises to open. Throughout our many years in business, we have demonstrated expert knowledge about far more than our superior selection of tires. The Big O team has been able to help prepare entrepreneurs of various backgrounds for their new life as versatile auto repair franchise owners.
Regardless of their level of experience with automotive services, Big O franchisees can feel confident knowing how best to operate their new business on a day-to-day basis. This is thanks to the strong training resources and guidance our team provides to set entrepreneurs like you up for success.
Estimates put the total number of small businesses in the US at over 30 million (1). As a result, plenty of small business owners find it difficult to stand out from the crowd and attract customers. By franchising with Big O Tires, you'll find you can rely on repeat business from area drivers with auto repair issues because they'll know they can depend on the expertise and extensive services your professional technicians can provide them.
Big O Tires has earned our place among the top 10 automotive franchises for various reasons. We’re a leading brand to invest in, not only for the auto services our locations offer car owners but also for the many ways we support our franchisees. The Big O team works tirelessly to position your franchise location(s) as the top option for local car owners. We do this by offering:
When a vehicle is brought in for repairs, multiple issues may require attention. In this case, car owners prefer to frequent an auto shop that can resolve all their needs in a one-stop visit rather than relying on various shops to fix their automotive repair problems.
Big O automotive franchises are well-known among drivers for the variety of services we can complete. While tires are a crucial part of what we do, they are not the only service we offer. Our franchises are equipped with the capability to provide:
Customers nationwide have grown to appreciate the value that our franchises present as we have added new locations throughout North America. They also know that we price our services at a fairer rate compared to most dealerships. This has helped our brand form a strong level of customer loyalty that franchisees can rely on to win more business.
Big O Tires requires each new franchisee to complete our four-week pre-opening training to fully prepare them for life as an automotive services franchise owner. This training provides valuable insights and best practices on several topics, such as:
Even after completing your initial training, you can still count on the full support of the Big O Tires brand. Our team can help your location(s) through local marketing assistance and shared purchasing power. These support efforts are designed to assist you in reaching local car owners and becoming their preferred auto shop.
With more than 460 locations in 24 states, Big O Tires is among North America's largest retail tire franchisors. As part of the TBC Corporation, our franchisees benefit from their independent ownership, with support from the largest marketers of automotive services.
The Big O brand name adds instant value to your auto shop, a key benefit that traditional small businesses are unable to take advantage of. Additionally, each franchisee is assigned a designated territory with no other Big O stores open within a two-mile radius. This ensures you’ll not have to compete with any members of our brand family.
It requires a significant amount of effort to reach the top of the automotive services industry. Fortunately for our franchisees, Big O Tires has already done the bulk of that work. You can realize this for yourself by choosing to franchise with a brand like Big O that sets you up for success!
