Glass & Trim Repair is opening the door to ambitious entrepreneurs with the launch of its new UK smart repair franchise opportunity, offering the chance to build a mobile automotive repair business backed by specialist training, professional equipment and an established support infrastructure.
Designed for people looking to take control of their future while building a scalable business, the franchise gives operators their own exclusive territory and a fully equipped mobile workshop. Franchisees can provide specialist repair services directly to dealerships, fleet operators, insurers and private vehicle owners.
The business addresses a growing need for convenient, cost-effective vehicle repairs, with services covering windscreen chip repair, leather and vinyl restoration, fabric and carpet repair, exterior plastic trim restoration, and professional vehicle deodorising and disinfecting.
Rather than requiring customers to visit a traditional bodyshop, the mobile model brings the repair service directly to where the vehicle is located. This creates opportunities to develop recurring relationships with local dealerships, fleets and other commercial customers, alongside work from private motorists.
A key attraction of the franchise is the comprehensive package provided to new franchisees. This includes specialist repair equipment and initial stock, a branded mobile workshop fit-out, practical technical training, business systems, CRM and reporting tools, marketing materials, branded workwear and ongoing business support.
The franchise has been developed by Glass & Trim Repair co-founders Paul Braithwaite and Josh Marshall, combining hands-on industry experience with a structured business model designed to help franchisees establish and grow their own operation.
The opportunity also provides scope for expansion. Franchisees can begin with a single mobile workshop and, subject to territory demand and business performance, potentially develop into a multi-van operation.
The initial franchise fee is £18,000 plus VAT, with government-backed finance potentially available subject to eligibility. The franchise model also includes an 8% royalty on sales and a £250 monthly ongoing support fee. Prospective franchisees are encouraged to review the full investment requirements and financial model as part of the discovery process.
Indicative projections supplied by Glass & Trim Repair show a potential progression from one van in the first year to two vans in year two and three vans in year three. These figures are projections rather than guaranteed earnings, with actual results dependent on territory, demand, operating costs and individual business performance.
For entrepreneurs seeking an opportunity within the UK’s automotive services sector, the franchise offers the combination of a mobile business model, specialist services and the backing of an experienced team.
Those interested in exploring the opportunity can find out more about the Smart Repair Franchise the free prospectus and arrange a conversation with the franchise recruitment team.
With exclusive territories, practical training, a complete mobile workshop and ongoing support, Glass & Trim Repair is positioning its franchise as an opportunity for ambitious individuals ready to build a business of their own within the specialist automotive repair market.
