Hear from Current Master Mechanic Franchisees
"I appreciate the direct support whenever it is requested from the head office team including The President and Vice President. Whatever issues or questions that need to be answered or resolved it is within a very reasonable time frame."
"When I first decided I wanted to be a part of the brand, it peaked my curiosity that there were no brands that had the word "Mechanic" in its name. I thought that would be a great way to drive in customers just from having that word incorporated in the brand's full name. Also I honestly really felt extremely comfortable with Todd as the leader of Master Mechanic and just how focused he was towards me in our meetings and it was just an instant connection with the team."
"I think this space is great due to the growing community and the caliber of people in the community. It has been a ongoing success up into now and hope it continues this way"
