Motorcycle Maintenance Shops

The Industry: Today's bikers are better educated and earn considerably more than the national average. They love to ride, they don't service their own bikes and these RUBs (Rich Urban Bikers) hate to miss a ride because they have to leave their bike several days at the dealer for simple oil changes and brake service.

This franchisor is poised to help you capitalize on these trends with only a small investment.

Highlights: Franchisees offer the first "Ride In–Ride Out" service for all types of bikes-Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki- and quads. Each unit is a one-stop shop for all basic maintenance needs; oil changes, tires, brakes, service intervals, ride apparel and, of course, those chrome "necessities."
Franchisees understand: "It's All About the Ride."

Buyer Profile: Understanding the "Biker Mentality" is important.

Job Description: Advertise to bikers, network with local clubs and promote charity rides explaining the benefits of a Ride In-Ride Out maintenance shop offering oil changes, tires and brake services. Manage a team of techs, oversee inventory, marketing and the company's finances.

Seeking Franchisees: Nationwide.

Investment Requirements: $100,000 to $215,000.
