You won't be surprised to hear that the automotive marketplace
is where Autosheen has traditionally operated and is therefore best
known. With 33 million vehicles currently registered in the UK,
that's a massive pool of potential customers, all of whom need to
have their cars cleaned regularly.
Autosheen targets the upper end of the quality market and should
not be confused with some of the road side operations you often
see. Our bespoke mobile service serves corporate and prestige
owners that want nothing but the best for their vehicles and
do not have the time or inclination to valet their own
cars.This level of quality service has made the Autosheen format
highly resistant to the economic slowdown….our customers are
sufficiently affluent not to be affected.
This has been proved in the last two years with new and established
franchisees continuing to show consistent growth.
Autosheen's professionalism creates extremely high levels of
customer loyalty. Typically a client returns every three
weeks. Our services go well beyond valeting, and include a
range of specialist services to care for cars and preserve their
showroom appearance, including full vehicle detailing, high
value specialist protection treatments and
specialised paintwork defect restoration. , Franchisees have
exclusive access to a range of re-finishing products manufactured
by our parent company Farecla (Queens Award for Enterprise
winner), enabling them to offer these market-leading services and
making Autosheen a genuinely unique proposition.
In simple terms, our business model is to provide a high value,
specialist service to a large potential marketplace on a regular
basis.
What sets us apart is both the quality of our work and the
convenience and professionalism of our service. Our customers,
whether individual car owners or businesses, trust us with their
cars and rely on us to deliver a consistently high standard of
customer service whoever, and wherever, they are.
Thanks to our easy to erect branded vehicle shelter our
operators suffer minimal disruption in poor weather, allowing them
to serve their clients at home, work or in leisure locations,
providing the ultimate in convenience.
Marine
You may be more surprised to learn that Autosheen also operates
in the lucrative marine marketplace. Boats as well as cars need
regular cleaning and maintenance. Most owners are passionate
about their sailing, so investing in the very best care for their
craft is second nature. Many of our valeting skills and much of our
experience is transferable to this marketplace, but being part of
world renowned surface finishing specialists, Farécla Group, has
given Autosheen a keen competitive edge and access to market
leading products that are already established in the sector and
which have been purpose designed for the challenging marine
environment..
With over half a million boats in the UK requiring specialist
maintenance, there is huge untapped business potential and
yet there is also little or no effective competition. Our
franchisees are the only marine valeters that are actually
qualified to a recognised standard, We work on boats of all
shapes and sizes, from canal boats through to luxury yachts.
Franchisees are able to operate in marinas and on trailered boats
at our customers' own locations.
Leisure
Similarly, Autosheen has identified a further rich seam of
opportunity for franchisees in the leisure vehicles sector.
There are more than a million leisure vehicles in the UK, and
as with the marine marketplace, owners are prepared to invest
in keeping their caravans and motorhomes in pristine condition
- interestingly, the turnover for the Caravan Club alone is
in excess of £100m.
For all these reasons we are are here again able to offer a
bespoke national service in this profitable, growing
market.
In short, as an Autosheen franchisee, you will have a
large, diverse marketplace. You will be expertly
trained and well supported in delivering top quality services
in all these sectors, enabling you to build a robust, highly
profitable and satisfying long-term business.
