DA Techs

MULTI-VAN MANAGEMENT FRANCHISE

DRIVING A REVOLUTION IN THE MARKETPLACE

HIGH-MARGIN | B2B/B2C | RECURING INCOME | AUTOMOTIVE | TECH & AI

Build your own large local business with DA Techs, a revolutionary management franchise created by founders Phil Barnard, Jamie Baxter and franchising expert, Jane Coleman. Jane launched and grew the UK’s Starbucks franchise model, then Pret-a-Manger and more recently Townhouse.

Together they have created the DA Tech franchise, an extremely lucrative management business model offering healthy margins with market demand growing faster than we can satisfy.

MOBILE = HIGHER MARGINS

Deliver mobile SMART alloy wheel repairs and professional diamond cutting at each client’s premises from your fleet of specialist vans. It only takes a few hours for each job, rather than the 3-5 days of a traditional full factory service.

Mobile SMART repairs are much higher margin too, but where a set of wheels are more seriously damaged you can still provide your client a convenient solution by shipping their wheels to the head office factory for a full service (strip, paint, machine and seal).

CONVENIENCE = HIGHER DEMAND

Diamond cut wheels have become standard fit across all levels of cars and many vans, with wheels from 14” – 23” and larger on some SUVs. The diverse mix of clients your business will serve all have one thing in common - they want a fast professional repair asap….

• Dealerships need their stream of stock readied to sell, week after week
• Corporates and rental networks want batch repairs, keeping vehicles on the road
• The private retail market is also massive, paying more for convenience

With the franchise, you will enjoy exclusive use of our leading-edge mobile lathes, unavailable to competitors. Uniquely able to handle all wheel sizes, this technology gives your business an additional competitive advantage with ongoing training and support for you and your team.

FRANCHISING = PROVEN MODEL

DA Techs were the first in the UK to fit out a van with a specialist mobile lathe back in 2016, disrupting the alloy wheel repair market in their local area. This new mobile offering quickly became the most profitable division of the Diverse Automotive Techs repair group portfolio.

Developed by the creator of the Starbucks and Pret-a-Manger franchises in the UK, the DA Techs business model offers world-class guidance, support and resources across every aspect of your business journey - from marketing and sales, to operations, HR and finance.

“I’ve worked with Phil and Jamie for a few years in one of their other businesses and when I saw the franchise and understood the potential of the business I jumped at the chance to invest. I have managed teams before and I have seen the massive demand for the mobile service first hand. Exciting times ahead...”
