ETYRES

ETYRES

Starting your own business can be scary, but not if you chose a franchise with a winning formula that is enjoying spectacular growth - even during a tough economic climate.
etyres, the UKs leading online tyre company, is experiencing soaring demand and record-breaking sales because it gives customers what they want - cheap tyres combined with a convenient mobile fitting service.
We save our customers time, hassle and money and once customers have used our service they are so pleased they return to place repeat orders and recommend us to family, friends and colleagues - this cycle is driving sales even higher.
etyres has even been singled out by motoring and consumer experts, including Quentin Willson, for combining cheap prices for premium products with excellent service.
The advantage for etyres Franchise Owners is clear - they can run their own business under the umbrella of a successful company with a trusted name.

ABOUT US

 

etyres was established in 1998 as the UK’s first online tyre company.  It offers a mobile tyre fitting service to customers with prices for premium brand tyres up to 40% cheaper than the high street depots, such as Kwik Fit and ATS.  


etyres has achieved tremendous popularity with customers because it also operates a free nationwide mobile fitting service, which means we fit their tyres at a location of their choice - at home or the workplace.


The franchise operates as a sole trader or as a management opportunity.  Due to our impressive growth, we are proving to be much more than a "man in a van" business as many of our Franchise Owners are taking on extra territories, additional vans and employing fitters in order the maximise the potential the soaring demand brings.


The continuing success of etyres is down to several factors.  Low prices and mobile fitting are also backed up with a user-friendly website featuring TV presenters Eamonn Holmes and Vicki Butler-Henderson, who tell customers why etyres is cheaper than the traditional high street tyre depots and guide them through the ordering process.


As the UK's first online tyres company we set the standard for website development and moving forward, we are committed to building the etyres online brand and retaining our high ranking profile with Google, because the internet is unquestionably the key to continued success.


With 30 million cars on the road - all of which will need new tyres at some point - an etyres franchise can offer owners a successful and fulfilling business.   



  

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

 

All new Franchise Owners take part in our comprehensive training programme covering all aspects of the business from fitting tyres to managing their own website page.


Training takes place at Head Office and on-the-road with an experienced team run by two of our most successful Franchise Owner, who own three territories and also head up the etyres Operations Team.  Their years of experience ensure all our new Franchise Owners learn how to operate efficiently and effectively from their first day of trading.


The training is backed up with on-going support covering all aspects of the business, including operations, accounts and marketing.

OUR FRANCHISE PACKAGE

 

Start-up costs are £35,000 and the banks have a history of looking favourably on the etyres business model, even during recessionary times.  Some recent Franchise Owners have secured 100 per cent loans from banks to pay the franchise fee.


The franchise package includes an exclusive territory, extensive training and on-going support from Head Office.

WHO'S IDEAL FOR US

 

Our ideal Franchise Owner is someone who has good communications skills, is prepared to work hard and is extremely customer focused.  A practical background and experience within the motor trade would be beneficial, however, it is not essential as full training is provided.


Having a partner who can help is also a big advantage.  etyres first Franchise Owners, Pam and Stuart Cass, still based in Portsmouth, are perfect role models for the ideal set-up.  Pam has very good office stills and has been able to assist Stuart in building up the business and this is a formula that is working equally well for many of our other Franchise Owners.
