Merlin’s Muffler & Brake: An upscale “under the car” service opportunity. There are new and existing shops available in IL, GA, MI, TX, and WI… in some cases you can be open and operating in 90 days.
Merlin is an upscale “under-the-car” automotive service business which specializes in exhaust, brakes, ride control, suspension and steering, oil/lubrication, and related services. Merlin’s provides a 90% turnkey state-of-the-art facility, comprehensive training, aggressive marketing programs, and ongoing support.
What is the Merlin Business Philosophy? Ironically, our business has very little to do with fixing cars.
It has more to do with fixing people’s problems. And treating customers like individuals–not transactions. Because we know when we make our customers happy, they come back again and again. Our business also has a lot to do with growing and developing our employees–knowing that when we give them our best, we get the best in return. It has to do with training and supporting our franchisees in any way we can so that they can take care of the customer. In the end, our business has more to do with long-term relationships than anything else. What we call “relationship marketing.” Because, you see, at Merlin’s we focus on people, not just dollars. And, not surprising to us, that’s what insures our success in the future. It’s a different approach, and it’s that difference that gives us an edge.
What tools has Merlin’s developed to help Merlin’s franchisees recruit and keep the best employees?
By name, they are known as People Power, Entrepreneur Development Program, Career Development Program, and FASTRAK. Properly implemented and executed at shop level, they are very effective in streamlining and simplifying the recruitment process and permitting Merlin’s franchisees to benefit from the best employees available.
Is there financing available?
Yes. Subject to individual qualifications, the Merlin franchise is readily financeable through third parties. Financial awards earned in Merlin’s Entrepreneur Development Program and FASTRAK program can be used as an equity investment in the financing process. A minimum investment of $20,000 to $45,000 is required.
Why wait until you are forty?
Learn about Merlin’s unique FASTRAK program. If you are a Senior Technician, Seasoned Installer, Shop Foreman, Service Manager, Assistant Manager, Shop Manager, or General Manager, then make your experience count. You could qualify for a minimum of $9,000 or more toward your own Merlin’s franchise. Now could be the right time to own your own business.
