I was a Meineke franchisee in Atlanta for 10 years. The Meineke franchise is overpriced and a broken business model. The fees are some of the highest in the franchise world. They have one of the highest SBA failure rates of any franchise.
There are a few shops that are the exception and perform very well. The bulk of the shops are run by owners that work 60-70 hours a week and make less than what they send Meineke each month. The rest of the shops fail with the owners losing their savings and sometimes their homes. Google search "Meineke shops for sale' and you will be amazed how many shops are for sale. Why would a good operator want to sell a very profitable cash flowing business? Google search "Meineke Car Care Center litigation/lawsuits" and see how many lawsuits Meineke brings against franchisees . If you want to go in the auto repair business do your research in your local marketplace-invest in a good location and a clean facility-then open an independent shop. Today's cost conscious consumer is tired of chain shops that have a revolving door and entice customers with low ball coupons then try to upsell them everything under the sun. Good, loyal customers want a shop where they know the owner by name and are treated with honesty.
Interested to hear more about your experience. I was considering a Meineke in Woodstock, GA but now considering other opportunities.
