DA Techs

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.

REVOLUTIONISE A MARKET

Follow our proven model and you will drive a revolution in your local area, offering a new level of convenience for the repair of
alloy wheels that will set a new standard with dealerships, corporates and the retail/private markets in your territory.

BENEFIT FROM TECH & AI

Our technology utilises AI for machine operations, so you won’t need to attract and retain expensive highly-skilled technicians.

Instead, you can focus on recruiting for attitude and customer service skills from a far larger pool.

LARGE TERRITORIES

Create a business that delivers healthy ongoing earnings, while building an asset with the potential to grow to be worth £1.5m+. Each large territory starts with five exclusive areas, mapped for 2-3 vans per area. Don’t stop there, go multi-territory…


The typical stages in launching and growing your DA Techs business look something like this:

Launch

With your first liveried DA Techs van(s), we’ll show you how to start by building relationships with your local dealerships to create a regular workflow.

Scale

With demand growing in your first area, you’ll add technicians and vans. It’s important to follow the model, focus on standards and service to build reputation.

Expand

As you progress into your other five territories, you’ll follow the same process you learnt with the first – scaling up your business further.

Oversee

You’ll be working ‘on’ the business now, enjoying a great work/life balance. But you’ll still be keeping a close eye on your team, standards and financials.


Extend or Sell

Now is the time to consider your future - you may wish to assess and then build the business’s valuation ready to sell, or add further territory to grow an empire!

THE RIGHT STUFF

DA Techs’ culture is high-performance, ambition and professionalism. But while intense and fast-paced, a good sense of humour is mandatory and BS isn’t our style.
