Start Your Future!
Be your own boss as a Cottman center owner Industry Leader With hundreds of
locations from coast to coast throughout the United States and Canada, Cottman
Transmission is North America's leading chain of transmission repair centers.
Cottman's service philosophy is the reason why millions of customers have
trusted us to repair their vehicles' transmissions over the past four decades.
It's also why Cottman is experiencing a record-setting growth rate. At Cottman,
we know our customers have more important things to worry about than their
transmissions.
Company Growth
For the past six years in a row, our system-wide sales have experienced double
digit increases, and each year our stores have set new sales records. As
Cottman sets new highs in both its number of centers and sales per center, the
company is well poised to continue its leadership role in the ever growing
transmission repair industry.
Industry Growth
There are over 200 million vehicles registered in the United States - compared
to only 152 million 15 years ago. The average age of a car is now nine years -
the oldest US fleet in history. The complexity of transmissions has resulted in
more expensive transmission repairs, with the average cost of repair having
increased from $750 just a few years ago to over $1,500 per unit today. You can
be a part of the explosive growth in this industry as a Cottman center owner.
No Experience Necessary
You do not need any prior experience in the automotive aftercare industry and
you do NOT need any mechanical ability. Owning and operating a successful
Cottman franchise does not require any type of automotive background. Cottman
owners are business people who have been extensively trained in the Cottman
system.
Be Your Own Boss
Cottman offers you a proven business ownership system and a 42-year track record
of success. If you want to be your own boss and take control of your own
destiny, Cottman offers you the opportunity to be in business FOR yourself, but
not BY yourself. We'll provide you with the procedures, service and support you
need. Your effort and dedication will determine your ultimate success.
Franchise Support
Cottman franchisees receive complete and total support. You will be assigned an
Operations Manager who will work with you regarding ALL phases of the Cottman
system. You will also be assigned your own advertising department
representative, who will assist you to develop advertising plans that will
focus solely on your market and the area surrounding your center.
Training Program
A comprehensive four-week training program will be provided, including three
weeks at the home office and a follow up on-site at your center. Every aspect
of your center's operation is covered in depth, from sales training, personnel
hiring and advertising, to balancing the books and trimming costs.
Additionally, throughout the year, ongoing in-field training sessions for both
owners and employees are conducted.
