Ding King, Ethanol Systems and Glove Lady: Low-Investment Automotive Business Models

Owning your own automotive business can be a risky and expensive endeavor, but one way to improve your chance of success and limit upfront spending is to purchase a low-investment franchise or business model. These businesses are proven successful and as a part of your purchase you'll receive significant support and resources. This article highlights three automotive franchises or business models that can be purchased for $30,000 or less.

The Ding King

The Ding King focuses on automotive-appearance repair and offers many services including: paintless dent removal; paint repair for scuffed bumpers, chips, and scratches; interior repair for damaged vinyl, leather, plastic and velour; windshield repair for damaged glass; alloy-wheel refinishing for scuffed and scraped wheels; odor removal for cigarette and other odors; auto detailing for complete interior and exterior restoration; and window tinting. This automotive business opportunity is a "turnkey operation, not a franchise, so there are no franchise or royalty fees. By purchasing this automotive business model you'll receive a quality education covering all aspects of the business, cutting edge technology and comprehensive equipment packages, and ongoing technical and business support programs. This low-investment automotive business model can be purchased for $6,000 to $30,000 dollars.

Intelligent Ethanol Systems

Ethanol based fuel is either in your area now or will be soon. There are 240 million cars currently in the US -- 95% of which cannot run on ethanol without an ethanol injection system. Ethanol is much cleaner and better for the environment than petroleum based fuels, and is less expensive to produce and to purchase. Why not own a franchise that can expand ethanol use, helping the environment and saving your customers money in the process? Intelligent Ethanol Systems sells ethanol injection systems which can be added to cars customers already own. As the owner of an Intelligent Ethanol Systems franchise you will be given an exclusive territory, only pay for inventory, and also have the opportunity to sell related automotive products. This low-investment automotive franchise opportunity can be purchased for $10,000 to $30,000.

The Glove Lady

According to the latest statistics from the US Census Bureau, the safety glove and product market is over 3 billion dollars and growing, and businesses are increasing their spending on specialty gloves and safety products. Also, specialty gloves are not just for industrial use but for gardening, household chores, riding motorcycles, and more. Many people use gloves for a variety of activities, in fact the average American buys 3 pairs of specialty gloves each year. Owning a Glove Lady franchise is your chance to get in on the action. A Glove Lady franchise is a "catalog-on-wheels" (a pink van specifically) for work gloves, gear, and goggles. When you buy a Glove Lady franchise you receive comprehensive training at the Glove Lady Boot Camp and a customized marketing plan for your specific protected territory. You'll also be given a state-of-the-art electronic business management system and a personalized website enabled with ecommerce and inventory control. Ongoing training sessions, customized business management solutions, and toll-free ongoing telephone support ensure that you will have all you need to succeed. This low-investment automotive franchise opportunity can be purchased for less than $30,000.
