ChipsAway comes out on top

The specialist franchise was ranked the top car and auto repair franchise in Franchise’s Direct’s Top 100.
Assessment criteria for the honour included brand size, franchise turnover, stability, growth, social responsibility, awards and recognition. ChipsAway secured the top car and auto repair franchise ranking, and came 40th overall.
ChipsAway Marketing Manager, Rebecca de Chair, shared her delight, saying, “We are delighted to be recognised [...] and named the top car and auto repair franchise in the UK. Despite the challenges of recent lockdown restrictions, our ChipsAway specialists have continued to provide car owners nationwide with professional quality, cost-effective and convenient paintwork repairs.”
With over 200,000 franchisees, the van-based franchise is now considered the largest network of repair specialists in the UK. ChipsAway franchisees come from a huge variety of backgrounds, and over 90% start out with no industry experience, learning and growing on the job.
With a ChipsAway investment, new franchisees will receive extensive training, including a four week initial course, and will have access to a high level of continued franchisor support. All the knowledge and tools needed to run a successful ChipsAway franchise will be provided.
The job is varied, and easy to tailor to your individual needs. Many franchisees work alone from their van, and many more operate an expanded network of several franchises, employing multiple team members.
In the words of Rebecca, “We welcome anyone considering a new life in franchising to get in touch with us to find out more about how they could take control of their future and get the work/life balance they deserve.”
To join this thriving auto repair network, potential franchisees will need to make a minimum investment of £15,000, with total investment costs of £29,995. No ongoing franchise fees, operating fees, advertising fees or royalty fees are charged. For more information about starting a Chips Away franchise, visit the company’s profile page.
