Franchisor Directory

With over 20 years of successful operation Autobarn is acclaimed as one of the leading business identities in the Franchising Industry. There has never been a better time to join the group with opportunities for new franchisee’s across the country.
Substantial buying power generated from over $165m annual sales and access to preferential pricing arrangements with major suppliers.


How does the Autobarn franchise system work?

In simple terms, if a potential Franchisee wishes to become part of the Autobarn system and own and operate an Autobarn store, an initial franchise fee is paid to secure the right to operate a store for a period of seven years, with an option for a further seven.
Furthermore Autobarn will advise on the appropriate site for the store, train the new Franchisee, assist in personnel employment and prepare the store for opening.
Additionally assistance is provided during the initial trading phase and on-going support is maintained. For this, the approved Franchisee pays a monthly service fee. The Franchisee also contributes monthly to a group-advertising fund, which is used to provide the group with consistent advertising support.

By combining resources, a franchise system provides a franchisee with:

• Buying power and access to a wide product range and strong brand names
• Greater advertising frequency, and brand awareness
• Expanded marketing and promotional opportunities
• A forum for the exchange of ideas that assists in developing business strategies that can benefit the business.

Franchising the Autobarn concept and system makes good business sense. No one applies the same energy to their business as an owner-operator who has a personal investment in the business and a vested interest to make it succeed.
