Get SMART with Flying Colours
Demand for SMART repairs in the UK is high and growing rapidly as new techniques continually outperform traditional repair methods.
Flying Colours franchise owners are trained under our Levels of Achievement Programme to use our unique SMART repair processes providing cosmetic solutions to bumper scuffs, paint scratches, chipped bonnets, and interior damage.
By working at our clients’ sites and repairing rather than replacing damaged areas, Flying Colours’ processes limit vehicle downtime and offer significant savings to customers.
Our owners have a diverse customer base made up of motor dealers, fleet operators, vehicle rental companies and the public. In truth anyone who owns a vehicle and cares about its appearance is likely to need Flying Colours at some point in their life! From your launch onwards we’ll support you technically and professionally in your business and help you by constantly developing new repair techniques and innovative marketing programmes.

“I made the decision to become a Flying Colours franchisee around 7 years ago, the system training and support has been second to none. Initially I ran one vehicle myself and demand was so strong that I soon needed to look at a second vehicle. The business has gone from strength to strength I now operate five vans and have a fixed site providing body repairs and SMART repairs in Wrexham; One of the main benefits of the FC system is the ability to add on the additional brands, I have invested in the Dent Wizard franchise and will be launching this business in April 2007, I expect this to be an immediate success as I already have a strong customer base in place, if you are interested in Automotive franchise and have the ambition and determination to build a multi operator fixed site business I would personally recommend that you consider the Flying Colours franchise, the repair techniques, training, support and credit management service are second to none.”
