Create a Tyre Business with a Franchise

According to the Department for Transport, there were 38.4 million vehicles licensed for use on the roads in the UK in September 2018. That’s 153.6 million tyres all rolling along our roads, potentially needing maintenance or replacement at any time. So, it’s easy to see why it’s estimated that the worth of the UK’s tyre industry will exceed a whopping $6 billion by 2021. And while many of us visit our local garage or tyre specialist when we need a replacement, there are lots of other ways to access new tyres that are more convenient and often a lot more affordable.

As our lives become increasingly busy, many of us struggle to find the time for essential tasks like maintaining our cars. Tyres are an incredibly important part of any vehicle, as if they aren’t changed regularly enough, their tread can wear dangerously thin. Thin tread can prove deadly as it reduces the grip your vehicle has on the road and, particularly in wet or icy conditions, puts you at risk of skidding or hyrdroplaning, which could lead to you getting into a serious accident.

So, many of us are seeking a more convenient alternative to traditional garages. That could be why mobile tyre fitting businesses are becoming increasingly popular. They’re able to come to wherever we are, be that our home, place of work or even at the shopping centre if we find we’re in dire need of a replacement tyre. Rather than having to find the time in our hectic schedules to drive all the way to a garage, mobile tyre companies offer a convenient service that can easily be slotted in to your lunch hour.

As these businesses expand, many are choosing to franchise in order to cover the maximum possible area across the UK. So, if you’d like to get involved with a tyre franchise and help people all across the UK access quick, easy and convenient tyre changing services, there are plenty of tyre franchise opportunities available.
