Introduction to Autosheen

Autosheen is one of the UK's leading mobile valeting franchises. With a proven track record spanning twenty five years and a reputation for service excellence, Autosheen has established a well respected, successful brand in a lucrative premium service marketplace.

Operating from distinctively liveried, fully equipped vehicles, our national network of franchise owners can earn up to £1,000 a week, providing professional, top quality valeting services to private and corporate customers in the automotive, marine and leisure sectors.

As part of the world renowned Farécla group, Autosheen franchise owners benefit from the parent company's substantial investment in the latest surface finishing technology, as well as its global network of industry contacts.

With access to an impressive portfolio of National Account customers, supplementing locally generated contracts, Autosheen franchise owners enjoy a strong, resilient business base, geared for growth through the generation of regular, repeat and referred prestige customers.

The Market

Automotive

Traditionally, Autosheen has operated within the massive and rapidly expanding automotive marketplace, which currently comprises around 32 million vehicles in the UK alone. Competition is extremely fragmented, with many untrained 'one man band' operators providing low quality service and a few larger companies offering a limited range of valets from static sites.

Autosheen, by contrast, has built its brand leading position in this sector by providing professional, premium services – including specialist 'high end' treatments, such as protective coatings and paint rectification - to customers who value quality and convenience over cost, and rely on our franchise owners to care for their cars properly. We even include a dry valeting system to maximise sales opportunities and increase customer choice.

All Autosheen franchise owners are trained to Institute of the Motoring Industry (IMI) quality assured standards. Our IMI accreditation is unique in the valeting industry, which creates a strong competitive edge for Autosheen franchise owners and reinforces our reputation amongst customers for delivering work of the very highest standard.

Marine

Being part of Farécla has enabled Autosheen to extend its potential marketplace into the specialist areas of marine and leisure, where Farécla has a strong presence. With over half a million boats in the UK requiring specialist maintenance, there is huge untapped potential and little or no effective competition.

Leisure

Similarly, Autosheen has identified a rich market opportunity for franchise owners to develop in the leisure vehicles sector. There are more than a million leisure vehicles in the UK, with often wealthy owners prepared to invest in keeping their caravans and motor homes pristine - turnover for the Caravan Club alone is in excess of £100m.

• 500,000 touring caravans
• 330,000 caravan holiday homes
• 135,000 motor homes
