Welcome to Our City - The S.M.A.R.T Repair Franchise

Whether you are an existing SMART repairer looking to build on your current business or looking to start a new career in SMART repair then look no further! Here at OUR CITY our bolt on FRANCHISE PROGRAMME can help you set up on your own and become a successful and profitable franchisee. Alternatively, if you are already experienced in that field we can help enhance your current business.

SMART repair is big business both in terms of providing a service to your customers and in terms of the rewards it offers you as the franchisee. OUR CITY specialises in repairing cars with dents, scratches and scuffs. Our mobile units are able to visit customers when and where it is convenient for them - this could be at home or at the office. We also operate Alloy Repair franchising which repairs scuffs, bangs and scrapes to vehicle wheels. By repairing our valuable commodities, we can aim to recoup as much resale value as possible. Gone is our “throw away” society, with money tight, people are choosing to repair instead of replace. Something that appears pretty insignificant on first glance can easily lead to rust and corrosion and a far more costly problem.

You, as a franchisee, will already have a great start. We have a successful business model which means you don’t have to worry about starting from scratch yourself. We will provide you with training, resources, advertising and a sound customer base so that you don’t have the stress. You simply learn how to do the job and begin reaping the benefits of being your own boss. It’s a win-win situation – we take out all the headache of setting up your own business and you take the pride that goes with working for yourself. Working for yourself has a wide range of benefits – flexibility, pride and individual rewards. Setting up your own business brings with it the headache and stress of deciding on a name and logo, producing marketing material and advertising, getting your brand known and building up a customer base. This is why being a franchisee with OUR CITY is an excellent opportunity as you get all the benefits without the stresses – we have taken all the headaches away and left you with the simple task of making money!

There is no lump sum required up front. In the current financial climate how many people have got the industry norm amount of circa £15k to set up a franchise? This is why OUR CITY is the right choice for you. We offer a vehicle rental scheme which allows you to rent the vehicle complete with tax and MOT. We will then provide you with the resources to find the equipment needed to carry out the repairs. If you use the places we recommend, this should cost you in the region of £500. If you decide to stop your franchising opportunity, then give us four weeks’ notice and return the vehicle, to the rental company. It’s as simple as that.

So, where do my customers come from you may ask? Well, we have contacts with car dealerships, rental companies and the general public – all of which are in a similar situation when it comes to getting a good price for the car they are selling. Our roads are increasingly hazardous in terms of the damage they potentially do to our vehicles. Traffic on the roads increases and so the standards of the roads decline. Repair services whether it be to bodywork or wheels will always be needed.

We will keep you up to date with all the new techniques and provide training on those and any new products you may need. You’ll have your own mobile unit with sign, designated sales area, advertising and website optimisation – all for £60 a week (+ van rental)!

You will need to be committed, motivated and eager to achieve and in return we will work closely with you in order to provide a great service to your customers and to help make your franchise an enjoyable financial success.
