Auto Franchise Interest Shifts From Dealers to Maintenance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 10, 2009 -- Tampa, Florida (Web Distribution), December 10, 2009 – Auto franchises have both tanked and thrived in 2009. As auto dealership franchises tanked, auto franchises including auto maintenance have thrived.

"In 2009 there was a noticeable increase of interest in auto franchises focused on maintaining vehicles. From auto body shops, oil and lube job franchises and tire franchises, the industry has seen a noticeable increase in activity," Robert Melillo, president, White Hat Marketing, LLC, states. "Websites like TheFranchisePage.com has seen exponential growth in traffic for auto franchises," Melillo explains.

Consumers are holding onto their vehicles longer which means there is an increased need in routine care and maintenance. Many car owners trust names they know and have seen resulting in an increased interest in franchises.

"People are careful when it comes to their cars. They want to be able to trust the person they bring it to. That is probably one of the biggest advantages for franchises in the competition for that business," Melillo states.

With many entrepreneurs looking to start a business in 2010, auto franchises are seen as one of the most common to research and invest in. For more information on auto franchises visit TheFranchisePage.com
