Number of units
Car Doctor Plus had 1 total units in 2025, of which 0 were franchised-owned and 1 company-owned.
Car Doctor Plus provides a structured and extensive training program to ensure that franchisees are well-prepared to operate their businesses efficiently. The training programs are as follows:
Initial Training Program: Before opening, up to two designated employees must attend and successfully complete an initial training program focused on business operations and administration. This training is provided by the franchisor at no additional cost, though the franchisee must cover all travel and living expenses.
Opening Assistance: The franchisor offers site selection guidance and comprehensive support in the setup and launch of the franchise. Additional operational assistance is available upon request, billed at the franchisor’s current rates.
Failure and Remedial Training: If a designated manager fails the training, a substitute may be appointed who must also complete the program. Additional training costs $500 per person per day, either at the franchisor’s location or on-site, plus travel expenses.
Ongoing Training: Car Doctor Plus may require franchisees to attend up to two additional training sessions annually. These may include seminars, webinars, or conventions, and attendance is mandatory at the franchisee’s expense.
Territory Protection
Car Doctor Plus provides its franchisees with a defined exclusive territory, ensuring that no other franchise—whether company-owned or franchised—will be established within that area under the same or similar trademarks.
The exclusive territory typically includes a geographic region defined by radius, zip codes, or natural boundaries, often extending to a 3-mile radius. Importantly, franchisees are not required to meet sales quotas or other conditions to retain this territorial protection, and the territory will not be adjusted even in the case of population growth.
However, this exclusivity is limited to the establishment of physical outlets. Car Doctor Plus and its affiliates retain the right to market, advertise, and sell products within any territory using other channels such as the internet, catalog sales, or telemarketing.
