Founded in 1976 in Beaumont, Texas, Precision Tune Auto Care has grown into a leading name in automotive maintenance and repair services. Just one year after its inception, the brand launched its franchising program in 1977, allowing it to expand its reach nationwide. Today, the company is headquartered in Leesburg, Virginia.

Precision Tune Auto Care provides a wide array of services, including vehicle diagnostics, scheduled maintenance, and comprehensive repairs ranging from simple oil changes to complex engine work.

This broad service menu makes the franchise a practical and efficient alternative to traditional dealership services, appealing to customers who value expertise, convenience, and attentive service.

What sets Precision Tune Auto Care apart is its unwavering commitment to supporting its franchise network. Franchisees gain access to high-quality management, sales, and technical training programs, alongside robust marketing and advertising support designed to drive business success.

Training

Precision Tune Auto Care provides a structured training program to prepare franchisees and their staff for operational success. The franchisor offers both initial and ongoing training with specialized content tailored to automotive service operations. The training is conducted primarily at the national training center in Leesburg, Virginia.

1. Initial Training Program
   This mandatory one-week course includes 46.5 hours of classroom instruction, typically scheduled Monday through Friday. The sessions are held at least twice per year and cover a comprehensive range of topics from leadership and profitability to staffing and retail operations.
2. Engine Performance (Level 1) Course
   In addition to the initial training, either the franchisee or an employee must complete a one-week engine performance training course before starting operations.
3. Ongoing and Advanced Training
   Precision Tune Auto Care provides continuous training after the franchise has opened, which may include advanced technical updates and management practices to keep franchisees current.
4. Area Developer-Led Training
   In regions where an Area Developer is present, additional localized training may be offered either onsite at the Center or nearby. These sessions may incur additional expenses for travel, materials, and lodging.

Territory Protection

Precision Tune Auto Care provides franchisees with an "Assigned Area," but this does not grant exclusive territorial rights. The franchisor may still operate or authorize other similar businesses nearby.

Franchisees are given the first right of refusal if the franchisor plans to open a new Center within a “Reserved Area” inside their Assigned Area. However, this is conditional on the franchisee meeting specific requirements and does not ensure complete territory protection.
