Who we're looking for

NO AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

An ideal Meineke candidate would have business and sales experience. The owners are not often the ones working on vehicles in the shop. On a day-to-day basis, most owners are overseeing 4-5 employees per center, planning operational improvements, building local fleet accounts, and building a relationship with the local community. 85% of our franchisees are actually outside of the automotive industry. Many corporate executives like our model because of its recession resiliency and industry trends.

Training and Support

The collective power and support of the nation’s leading automotive aftermarket company create a secure and one-of-a-kind entrepreneurial opportunity. Meineke has one of the most comprehensive training programs in the industry, perhaps in all of franchising! All new franchisees must attend Meineke University, a two-week training program in Charlotte, NC, which teaches the necessary management and technical skills. Meineke’s initial license fee pays for the flights and hotel for up to two franchise agreement signees. Meineke Online also provides franchisees and their employees with over 70 online courses.

Additionally, Meineke Operations provides in-center training and training webinars on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, Meineke hosts yearly conventions/meetings for franchisees, each focusing on different aspects of the business. This is a fantastic training opportunity for those unfamiliar with the automotive industry's technical side. For those familiar, it is a terrific opportunity to learn about running a business.
