“I thought, ‘Am I going to find enough work to keep my guys busy?’ That’s not even a thing—we have too much work. That’s a good problem to have!”
— Tom, Revive! Aberdeen
What Makes Revive! Stand Out?
Revive! is a leading name in minor vehicle repairs and alloy wheel refurbishment. Our technicians operate from fully equipped mobile workshops, delivering unmatched convenience and quality. As a management franchise, owners focus on growth, leadership, and customer relationships—while Head Office provides robust operational, marketing, and technical support.
Our franchisees benefit from national accounts with insurers, fleets, and dealerships, ensuring steady business opportunities from day one. Combined with a culture of collaboration, innovation, and collective success, Revive! is the go-to franchise for aspiring business leaders in the automotive space.

“The support and training I have received from everyone at Revive!—from the directors to Head Office—has been absolutely fantastic. It’s great knowing there’s always someone to pick you up.”
— Andrew, Southport
What Your Day Might Look Like
Forget the workshop—your focus is on growth and leadership. A typical day involves overseeing a team of technicians, managing customer quotes and relationships, and ensuring smooth operations using our proprietary app. You'll connect with local dealerships, guide local marketing (with Head Office help), and expand your business by adding vans and team members as demand grows.
