Latest news...new franchises opened in Louth, Dublin (Dun Laoghaire Rathdown),

Offaly, Wicklow and Limerick. More to follow shortly...

Introduced to the Irish market in February, Car Medic has awarded its first eight franchises here and is well on the road to success. The business handles exterior and interior repairs to motor vehicles, claiming savings of up to 70% on body shop charges. The work is carried out in the customer’s own garage or driveway.

In spite of a rocky climate worldwide and a dreary outlook across many businesses, Car Medic has become the car industry’s fastest-growing franchise—with more than 350 franchisees across the UK. The innovative concept of SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) means that with the services of Car Medic, parts are repaired instead of being replaced, saving huge amounts of time, money, and materials.

The franchise is being rolled out here under a master license agreement by Paul Callan, a sales and marketing specialist.

What does Car Medic do?

What we can repair:

• Upholstery
• Leather Trim
• Windscreens
• Dashboards
• Bumpers
• Alloy Wheels
• Plastic & Vinyl
• Stone Chips & Scuffs
• Scratches

Until now, using conventional methods, even the smallest repair has been expensive and time-consuming – the whole panel had to be repainted in a specialist body repair shop, with the vehicle out of use for days.

With CAR MEDIC, we take the body shop to the customer, delivering high quality at a low price.

What we look for in a Car Medic franchisee

Our franchisees are important to us and so we need to be ensured that we recruit the best. Whilst no previous industry experience is necessary, you simply have to follow our proven winning formula, we look for the following in our franchisees:

• Energy – you need to have a strong desire to succeed
• Hard working - you have to put in a lot of effort at the beginning to build your business
• Can take responsibility for their own results - the opportunity is there but the level of success will be down to you.
• A “People’s person" – you need to be sociable and able to communicate at all levels
• Organised & efficient – you need to be well-organized and able to manage their time effectively and get the most out of their business without neglecting their family life.

Hear from some of our franchisees

Car Medic Ireland is looking for ambitious, practical people who can manage their time effectively and get the most out of their business. “The opportunity is there but the level of success will be down to you,” says Paul, who is also offering two other franchises from the Car Medic stable—Air Medic and Tyre Medic. They can be added to the Car Medic franchise or taken as separate franchises.

Andrew O’Toole was a Car Medic franchisee in England for five years before moving to Ireland to take up a franchise in Co.Wicklow. Says Andrew: “It’s easy to see why this franchise is so successful.

“Minor vehicle damage like dents, scuffs and scratches to panels, bumpers, wheel arches, mirrors and alloy wheels are inevitable in today’s driving conditions.

“Until now, using conventional methods, even the smallest repair has been expensive and time-consuming – the whole panel had to be repainted in a specialist body repair shop, with the vehicle out of use for several days. With Car Medic, we take the body shop to the customer, delivering high quality at a low price.”

Mark O’Grady took up the franchise for Offaly and part of Westmeath. Says Mark: “I am amazed at how quick business has taken off in my territory; since the day I got my van on the road my phone has not stopped ringing”
