The road to success begins with a ValuePlus Auto Service Express (VPX) franchise

Apart from the metro’s perennial traffic, one of the biggest concerns many car owners have is finding the right auto service shop that perfectly suits their needs. Sure, there’s always the casa, but for some, that is not necessarily the best option. Good thing there’s ValuePlus Auto Service, your casa alternative. With equipment and expertise at par with the casa, ValuePlus uses modern diagnostic tools and computerized machines for wheel alignment, tire changing, and balancing. It also performs brakes, clutch, suspension, transmission, and engine repairs, as well as servicing of the car’s air-conditioning system. Car care, detailing, and undercoating services are also available. ValuePlus’ mechanics have honed their craft from various large dealerships here and abroad, but they are also trained to work on multiple brands. Thus, the shop can address servicing issues for the major car brands on the road today. Since it opened its first branch in 2013 at E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue, near Banawe, Quezon City, followed by another shop at Robinsons Place Las Piñas along Alabang-Zapote Road in Talon I, ValuePlus has continuously innovated and refined its systems. And now, it is ready to open ValuePlus for franchising, calling this new venture ValuePlus Auto Service Express, or VPX. There are several requirements for acquiring a VPX franchise. Mark Saberola, General Manager of ValuePlus, explains: “First, potential franchisees need to have the fundamental business acumen for this investment to work. Having a business background manages their expectations. And so, they are aware of the fact that any entrepreneurial venture does not become successful overnight. They would know how to nurture and grow the business, putting in much time and effort, along with effective planning, marketing, operations, and financial support. Remember, a VPX franchise is an independent business. We are a franchisor offering a business model and system that we have found to be effective. Together, we are in the position to succeed as partners in the expanding auto servicing industry.” “Second is definitely a good location. It should be accessible and easily reached. A VPX shop situated on a main road that is within the vicinity of a thriving community is also a plus. It must be a lot size of at least 250 sqm. This is space enough for a fourbay shop with three lifters,” Mark continues. “To date, we actually have several locations that we are offering to franchisees. These are readily available in Las Piñas, another one in Pasig and soon in Parañaque, Bulacan, Laguna, and Davao” “And third is the vision to see this business work for them in the long-term. We are building our family of franchisees, one shop at a time – we are after quality over quantity because we want to make sure we don’t shortchange our franchisees. Building a quality business takes time,” Mark adds. The franchise package includes the equipment, as well as support for staff recruitment and training – important elements that the franchisee will need to start up shop. It’s basically turn-key; all they need to do is turn on the lights. VPX is initially targeting five franchises for 2019. After which, exponential growth nationwide is definitely in the pipeline. Mark remarks: “Franchisees should also be able to commit wholeheartedly into this business. That’s why a VPX franchise is an ideal business venture for young entrepreneurs who want to chart their own course. It is also a good fit for retired professionals who want to get back into action, and OFWs who want to finally repatriate and have a business of their own.” Given the increasing demand for good auto shop services these days, having a VPX franchise clearly puts business owners on the right road to success.
