ABOUT PRO OIL CHANGE
Pro Oil Change is a Canadian owned and operated automotive retail organization that started in 1996. The PRO OIL
CHANGE team specializes in providing quick, professional,
convenient and value priced, warranty approved services
for all makes and models of vehicles. In addition to offering
franchises to interested stakeholders, we will continue to own
and operate very successful corporate stores.
Customers coming to PRO OIL CHANGE for automotive services
don’t usually expect much. We find the high level of attention
they receive from our staff pleasantly surprises them. We offer
our customers a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where they can
enjoy a beverage while watching one of their favourite television shows or reading from a current selection of magazines.
The PRO OIL CHANGE Group takes pride in their community
participation. All our locations will continue to be involved
in sponsorship of local sports teams, charities and schools
in their respective trading areas.
In 2001, the company partnered with *Valvoline, the second
largest lubricants company in North America. Valvoline has
made a tremendous difference in the way we oporate our
stores in Canada. Their vast experience has been an invaluable
resource as we’ve grown our company.
*VALVOLINE (www.valvoline.com) operates 2000 instant
oil change centres across the United States.

Ask yourself, has there ever been a better time? Active motorists need
automotive services, and their hectic lives mean traditional dealer
maintenance gets harder and harder to schedule. Do you remember
when an oil change was a “do-it yourself” project? Who has time for
that anymore? Even making an appointment with a car dealer to book a
service appointment has become a chore. This is where PRO OIL CHANGE
comes into the picture. If you are looking for a proven, recession resistant,
and supermanageable business, we want to hear from you.
Site Selection
Having a great site is crucial. Knowing where the great sites
are and having strong relations with the best landlords is
even more important. When you join the PRO OIL CHANGE
team the company principals (along with our site specialist)
review your location. A PRO OIL CHANGE site is chosen after
extensive research has taken place to ensure that it meets
our demanding standards. The best possible terms will be
negotiated with major landlords and developers to provide
your business with the edge that it needs. Before a site is
given the team’s stamp of approval it must pass our rigorous
profitability checklist.
Financing
The PRO OIL CHANGE development group has always
enjoyed excellent relations with our financing partners. As an
approved PRO OIL CHANGE franchise candidate, you will also
enjoy the attention of interested financiers. As an approved
candidate, we will help you prepare a financial package to be
sent out to a number of qualified lenders. Our past success will
help open the door for any financing you may require.
Building Layout & Design
Whether your new operation starts in an existing building,
is built on a new site, or is based on one of our custom
designed and supplied pre-fabricated structures, it will
meet the PRO OIL CHANGE turn key standards. Top service
industry building designers and fabricators were enlisted
to ensure that every PRO OIL CHANGE building would be
capable of handling a steady stream of business. Your PRO
OIL CHANGE store will not only be highly functional; it will
look great as well.
Equipment & Inventory Packages
A PRO OIL CHANGE professional oil change facility comes
complete with a pre-configured equipment package. Top
industry suppliers were recruited to provide a turnkey
equipment program that allows you to perform all of our
professional services just as soon as you new store opens.
You will be supplied with top quality products purchased at
the best possible prices. We consider our vendors partners
in not only our growth, but in your growth as well.
The Quick Oil Change Business
is one that has benefited immensely from systemization. We
have automated almost all aspects of our business, allowing you
to focus on the few areas that really allow your store to progress.
You are never alone. We are with you every step of the way in
helping you to operate and grow your business. A few of the
tools that will help in growing your business are listed below:
Point of Sale System
As a franchisee under our umbrella, you will have one of the
most user friendly and ‘information rich’ point-of sale terminals
in the industry. Our systems will not only keep track of your
customers, their spending habits and personal preferences,
it will also give you vital information on how to improve your
advertising and marketing. Our program is easy to use, and
you will soon become an expert at reading the many reports
available to the operator.
Advertising and Marketing
The PRO OIL CHANGE head office has invested considerable
dollars in developing methods for attracting customers to your
shop. We are committed to building a Brand that stands out in
the customer’s mind when they think of our type of services. In
addition to a complete Grand Opening package to launch your
facility, our marketing binder will supply you with numerous
methods to develop new business and raise your profile in the
community. Owning a PRO OIL CHANGE store allows you to be in
business by yourself, while benefiting from the support, marketing
and promotional expertise of the PRO OIL CHANGE team.
Operations Support
Our operations team is interested in helping you organize your
business from the ‘basement to the roof’. We say that, because
what goes on under a customer’s car is the backbone of our
system and critical to your success. Our operations team is
available to help you fine-tune your store operations when you
need it. A comprehensive Management/Employee operations
manual is always at your fingertips. The PRO OIL CHANGE
Operations Manual is provided to you in printed form and on
our secure franchisee website.
Community Marketing
A PRO OIL CHANGE store is not just a business dropped
into a community; we plan to become a member of that
community. In addition to supporting local charities, we
have devised ways for charities to actually raise funds. A
successful business is most always the result of recognizing
that success is a two way street. We subscribe to that
philosophy in dealing with our staff members, suppliers
and the community at large.
Training
If selected as a candidate for a franchise, you will train in
one of our successful corporate stores. The balance of your
training will be at head office where experienced trainers
(who can empathize with your new project) take over and
get you ready for your launch. By the time the opening
ribbon is cut, you will be confidently looking forward to
operating your business.
