Car-X Auto Service
Auto repair & maintenance services
Dedicated to serving you for almost 30 years, Car-X Auto Service is more than just a place that repairs your vehicle. In fact, Car-X prides itself on providing you with a commitment to our Five Star Service.
We began franchising in 1973 and have grown to become one of the dominant brands for undercar service in the midwestern U.S. Income opportunities are provided primarily by brakes, exhaust, road handling, steering systems, tune-ups, air conditioning, tires and oil changes for all makes of cars and light trucks.
A large percentage of vehicles that come to a shop for repair need additional work beyond the primary reason for their visit. If you properly inspect all cars, you will not only build your business, you will enjoy a base of satisfied customers whose loyalty will bring them back for other needed services. Your job is to manage and build the business, not be a mechanic.
But again, Car-X isn't only about car repair. Car-X is proud to be an integral part of your community. Car-X is a long time supporter of the Big Brother/Big Sister Organization in many markets, the Special Olympics, and recently, the Make-A-Wish Foundation. From providing tickets to local ballgames, scholarships and other donations, Car-X has always taken a proactive approach to its involvement in all of these organizations.
Car-X Auto Service has more than 185 locations system wide and has built a reputation on exceptional customer satisfaction. In fact, Car-X Auto Service was ranked the #1 automotive services franchise by Success Magazine.
