Franchise
A mobile franchise built on
recurring revenue
No storefront. A branded van, a member base, and a team that fills your calendar.

Scale
The largest mobile detailing company in America
Most detailing franchises sell you a territory and a logo. ShowCar hands you a system that is already running in 40+ cities.
40+ cities, three states
Every one run by an owner-operator on the same system, with the same van and the same products.
Our own product line
ShowCar Care and ShowCar Ceramics, formulated for how we work, sold nationally. Owners buy at system pricing.
400,000 people watching
The brand has an audience before you open. Your grand opening lands on it.
An in-house agency
Social Refresh builds the demand and a sales team books your calendar. You run the route.
The pitch
Why a mobile franchise
Low overhead
No lease, no build-out, no shop. A van, a technician and a route. Technicians take the van home.
Recurring revenue
Members pay every month, booked or not. You start each month with a base instead of an empty calendar.
The nation's largest mobile detailing company
40+ cities across three states, our own product line, and 400,000 people following along. You open with a name people already know.
The model
Recurring revenue, one van at a time
Members pay monthly. That changes what a month looks like.
A member pays every month, whether or not they book that month. You start each month with a base instead of an empty calendar.
Members cluster by neighbourhood, so a technician's day is several cars within a few miles — not a city crossing between two jobs.
Members are the easiest audience for correction and coating work. That is where the margin sits, and they are already yours.
Keeping a member costs far less than finding one. The club is built to be kept, not sold twice.
Density first, then a second van. You add capacity against demand you can already see.
Unit economics, fees and royalties are set out in the Franchise Disclosure Document. Request the packet and we will walk you through them.
Investment
What you are buying
No lease, no shop, no build-out. A van, a stocked build, and the runway to fill a route.
Estimated ranges for every line above are in Item 7 of the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Financing
You do not have to fund it alone
Most owners finance the van and the build-out. We introduce you to the people who do it.
Third-party lenders
We introduce you to lenders who already know the model — van, build-out, equipment and working capital.
SBA-eligible
ShowCar is listed on the SBA Franchise Directory, which shortens the paperwork on an SBA loan.
Vehicle financing
Our Penske partnership means the van can be financed or leased rather than bought outright.
Talk it through
The franchise team will walk you through the options before you spend anything. Terms are in the FDD.
