Management and Owner Operator Franchises available with etyres - The UK's number 1 online tyre company

etyres provides a mobile tyre fitting service to both domestic and retail customers. They offer a van based franchise opportunity with the scope to develop the franchise into a substantial Management Franchise with the franchise owner focusing on business development and managing a team of tyre fitters.

First established in 1992 etyres has built an established network of franchise partners who provide a highly efficient and competitively priced service to tyre buying consumers.

Originally known as Fleet Mobile Tyres they first established themselves by offering a mobile service to the business-to-business sector. The company quickly established itself as a regular supplier to large fleet, lease and contract hire organisations.

These companies soon realised that a mobile tyre and battery service was much more convenient, and that lower prices could be achieved than by traditional tyre depots. Over the years the business has seen spectacular growth in the fleet tyre market.

The first etyres franchise was launched in 1996. Through a combination of on-line ordering and an established business with low overheads the etyres franchise has proved a winning formula.

The etyres business model operates profitably with gross margins that are a fraction of those required by traditional tyre depots. Our branch overheads are the running and replacement costs of the vans and some telephone charges. They avoid rent, rates, light, heat, insurance on a stock inventory of up to £½m, equipment, car ramps, waiting areas etc.

No wonder etyres is miles cheaper!

A Great Opportunity to Join an Established Team

How The Business Works

There are three key ways of generating business which are:

• Domestic car owners
• Fleet owners and leasing companies
• The motor trade

Customers are attracted to etyres through their website and franchise owners local advertising. The website displays costs etc and the customer is able to buy online or via the etyres national call centre.

Customer details are then transmitted to the franchise owner to order the tyres and make the final fitting arrangements.

etyres franchise owners also work with businesses that have a fleet of company cars to be the preferred supplier. Through working with Fleet Managers and the software application that etyres have franchise owners are able to accurately predict when tyres are due for changing and arrange a convenient time for fitting.

Franchise owners also work with the motor trade by being sub contracted to do any tyre fitting when a customer's car is in for a service or MOT and needs new tyres.

The etyres system has low overheads and much lower start up costs than a traditional tyre depot and is therefore ideal for franchising.

Experience isn't necessary as full training will be provided, etyres is looking to expand their network of franchise partners by awarding franchises to individuals who have the desire to run their own business and are able to demonstrate the motivation and drive to succeed.

Ideally etyres is looking for people who have the desire and capacity to grow the business having multiple vans operating within their territory.
