Founded in 1992, etyres is an online tyre retailer; it was the first of its kind in the UK. Due to the growing pace of e-commerce, online tyres sales and mobile tyre fitting has become very popular…and etyres franchise leads the way.

etyres franchise now has over 80 franchises in the UK, and is looking to build on this by appointing new franchises across the UK to help target the £1.2 billion tyre market.

Why etyres

Nobody wants to buy tyres but in order to drive safely and legally they have to. As tyres are not an attractive product, drivers do not enjoy buying them. So price is the dominant decision making factor and a mobile fitting service that saves a visit to a garage or tyre depot is highly desirable.

As etyres have secured a dominant position in the UK online tyre market, we generate huge sales volumes. This allows us to buy at prices that are much lower than our independent competitors and coupled with our greatly reduced operating overheads, we are able to offer our customers prices that are far lower than major chains of high street tyre depots such as Kwik-Fit, ATS and National Tyres.

Whilst other online retailers pad out their range of services with products such as wheel alignment in order to generate sufficient volume to remain efficient, we concentrate only on two basic products; tyres and batteries. And we excel in both. Our customers are delighted by huge cost savings and the first class fitting service that our franchise owners provide at local level

The etyres franchise opportunity

etyres franchise owners usually commence trading by doing the tyre fitting work themselves but on a longer term basis their time is far better spent running and developing the business than fitting tyres.

The objective is therefore to establish the branch and grow it as quickly as possible so that it can support additional staff. The head office team will work with you to achieve that rate of business development.

etyre customers can order online or via the national sales office with the orders being carried out by the franchise owner in the relevant area. We also have accounts established with the majority of the largest Contract Hire and Leasing Companies as well as dozens of smaller organisations in that field.

We have harnessed the huge potential of e-commerce and as online sales increase in almost every field of retailing our sales continue to advance at record levels. We have simplified our systems and processes so that our customers can buy from us without difficulty and our franchise owners operate a simple and efficient system.

The long term objective for etyres franchise owners is to develop a valuable multi-van business. Many have already reached that goal and others are well on their way to achieving the same level of success.

How much does an etyres franchise cost?

The total investment for an etyres franchise is £22,275.00 excluding VAT (funding is available).

How we train and support you

We will teach you how to operate a successful etyres franchise. This starts with your first day at our Cambridge head office when we will teach you how our computer systems work and what you will need to do to keep your records correctly. You will meet our sales office team, with whom you will later have a daily dialogue and you will learn exactly what is involved with customer service calls.

Your technical training will take place in Luton and will be conducted by our local franchise owners. You will see exactly what is involved in running a multi-van branch with an annual turnover of over £1m. Our franchise owners will explain to you how they did it and how they will work with you when your new branch is open to make you equally successful.

You will be thoroughly trained in every aspect of the job. A large proportion of which involves tyre fitting; but this is greatly simplified by the quality of the equipment that we use. You will also be introduced to our customer service methods and be shown how these will quickly establish a very high customer retention rate.

By the end of your basic training you will be able to competently operate your business but that is only part of the process. Over the following months we will work with you to make your branch really excel. It is our job to assist you in achieving your objective of becoming a successful franchise business owner.

Mike joined our team in November 2010. His previous experience in customer service was a perfect fit with etyres. Mike's business became profitable within four months.

Continuing growth and repeat business will soon require additional vans and more tyre fitters. Head office and field support will be there to assist with every stage.

Andi and Dave joined the etyres team in June 2009 and quickly grew their sales to a point where another van and a second fitter were needed.

The key to their success is the superb customer service that they provide. As their sales continue to grow additional vans will be added.
