How Our Automotive Franchises Continue to Thrive into 2024

December 4, 2023

Big-name automotive franchises are well-positioned to achieve great results and capitalize on strong momentum into the new year. However, this positive outlook does not count for much if the franchising brand cannot support its franchise owners. Finding a tire and automotive brand that makes its franchisees a top priority should be a main focus for investors searching the market.

Big O Tires fits that description. Drawing on our brand’s multi-decade standing as a leader in automotive services, we have risen the ranks in today’s market. This is no easy feat given how much competition exists – a major reason why so many who start a small business auto shop find it difficult to succeed.

Our proven repair and maintenance services, support resources, and far-reaching brand network have given Big O franchisees a valuable competitive advantage. We’re excited to keep pushing forward with new franchisees as we enter 2024 and beyond! 

It's a Great Time to Enter the Tire and Automotive Services Game

Automotive franchises have been able to rely on consistent demand from vehicle owners for some time now. Thankfully, that trend shows little signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future. Recent forecasts project that the global automotive repair and maintenance market is anticipated to rise at a considerable rate between 2022 and 2031(1).

The Big O Tires team plans to help our franchisees make the most of this growth by leveraging our multiple revenue streams. Some auto shops prefer to focus on one or two specific auto repair services and establish themselves as experts in those areas. While this can be effective, it can also limit their earning potential and set a cap on the demand they can generate from drivers.

We prefer to structure our offerings so Big O franchisees can satisfy a wider range of auto repair and maintenance requests. This helps us earn and maintain a reputation as the go-to “one-stop shop” for drivers seeking efficient automotive maintenance and repair services. Big O Tires provides franchisees with several key solutions to address their customer's automotive needs, such as:

Tires for Every Ride

  • An extensive selection of tires from trusted brands like MICHELIN® and BFGOODRICH™, plus our own Big O® brand, ensures quality options for every budget.
  • Expert sales, service, and installation help make our locations the preferred choice for everything tire-related.

Keeping Engines Purring

  • Regular oil and filter changes help maintain optimal performance and longevity.
  • Air, cabin, and fuel filter replacements provide smoother operation and cleaner air within the vehicle.

Going Beyond the Basics

  • Routine fluid changes, system cleanings, and wiper blade replacements help provide consistent, reliable driving.
  • Headlight and taillight replacements, radiator checks, and hose repairs help achieve maximum safety and visibility for drivers.

Powering Every Journey

  • Battery installation, replacement, testing, and repairs keep your customers' vehicles charged and ready.
  • Brake inspections and repairs, wheel alignments, and suspension services can ensure the driver has confident control and comfortable rides.

An Automotive Ally for Surrounding Communities

Big O Tires empowers our franchisees to be more than just a standard tire store. We provide franchisees the training, resources, and support to become the trusted service provider their community relies on. We’ll provide you with the resources necessary to help you build on and reap the benefits of the strong customer demand that the auto services industry is witnessing overall.
