You will have the freedom and flexibility to build your business to suit your aspirations and lifestyle with Optic-Kleer’s expert team behind you.

Optic-Kleer made a huge announcement at the beginning of 2025. One which is a total game-changer for the brand, as well as all their franchisees, present and future.

Optic-Kleer is now an official partner of Auto Windscreens!

Servicing 10s of thousands of customers every year, Auto Windscreens are one of the largest windscreen repair and replacement companies in the UK. They hold the prestigious ServiceMark accreditation from the Institute of Customer Service, and have more than 60,000 4 and 5-star reviews on Trustpilot.

Optic-Kleer has now positioned itself as one of the most recognised and high-profile names in the windscreen repair business, as a key partner for this national brand who are trusted by all the major motor insurance companies.

Optic-Kleer franchisees were already becoming a household name in their local areas, but now they can look forward to a hugely boosted profile on a national level too.

Optic-Kleer offers a convenient, easy-to-access service where customer's costs could be recouped later from the majority of insurance companies. Now, however, with Optic-Kleer as an approved repairer, all they need to do is pay the excess.

News round-up from Optic-Kleer’s most successful year to date… until the next one, that is!

September 25, 2025

Here’s a summary of everything that’s been happening at the Optic-Kleer franchise so you can see at a glance just what an outstanding year it has been for them, and everyone partnered with them.

It’s well worth a read, not only to catch up on all the developments, but also to help you if you’re thinking about changing up your working life for the better:

Big name partnership causes a huge splash

At the start of the year, Optic-Kleer announced that it is now an approved repairer for Auto Windscreens, one of the UK’s biggest names in windscreen services, with 60,000+ top-rated reviews and the coveted ServiceMark accreditation. This partnership is a huge deal as it means Optic-Kleer franchisees are now trusted as operators by pretty much every major motor insurance company in the UK, meaning more work, higher-value jobs, and greater brand recognition than ever before.

Even in the first few weeks alone, everyone noticed an instant improvement in their workload and income.

"The partnership with Auto Windscreens has put both companies in a leading and industry-changing position." – Chris, Optic-Kleer Franchisee.

Working smarter not harder with the right tech solution

If you don’t know the industry, windscreen repair might look like a pretty simple business on the surface, but there is actually an awful lot to manage behind the scenes - especially when you’re rapidly becoming a household name right across the UK. Which is why Optic-Kleer has invested heavily in building its own in-house software, designed to simplify every part of the business from job booking, through to invoicing and book-keeping.

That means less time spent on admin, and more time spent growing the business – and given just how much is pouring in after the new Auto Windscreens partnership was announced, it’s not a moment too soon!

Optic-Kleer shortlisted for top franchising award

All these developments haven’t gone unnoticed. Optic-Kleer has also been nominated for the British Franchise Association’s Research & Development Award, a much-coveted category which recognises franchises that empower their networks through meaningful innovation.

However, it’s not just the Optic-Kleer leadership who are celebrating – it’s their franchisees, too. The numbers speak for themselves:

Repair volume up 12%
Average job value up 24.5%
Network revenue up 39.5%
Franchisee payment time down 78%
Some franchisees hitting £10k+ a month for the first time

It really has been quite a year… and this is just the beginning. The rest of 2025, and into 2026, is going to be just as stellar, making this a better time than ever before to get involved. In fact, we've already had 4 new franchisees join the network in just the last few months, and 2 more getting ready to schedule their training.

Interest is growing, and territories are filling up fast. So, not get in touch by clicking the button below and scheduling a call; we can have a chat about what an Optic-Kleer franchise might mean for you?
