- Franchise Developer Cape Town
New auto accessory franchise opens in Durban
Durban-based Autovest has announced the launch of a new concept in franchised automotive accessory fitment centres, branded as Auto Enhance. It opened two fitment centres last month, one in its new premises in Umhlanga and one in Pinetown, with more franchises due to roll-out nationally during the course of the year.
"Gone are the days when new and used vehicles have to visit multiple suppliers to get their accessories fitted. The franchise will be primarily focussed on providing a professional accessory fitment service to the motor dealerships for a range of top quality products, under one roof to minimise vehicle movement and consequent risk of damage," explains Autovest CEO Ted Waldburger.
"The group's recent acquisition of Auto Armor, with a national footprint of 32 fitment centres, takes the group to more than 150 franchised fitment, centres operating under the SA Canopy, Bucco Canopies, Rhino Linings or Auto Armor brands. This provides the group with a strong national footprint, which will support the rollout plans for the franchise."
Established in 2007, Autovest is a holding company of a group of automotive focused businesses, operating as an independent supplier and is one of South Africa's biggest suppliers of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) approved automotive accessories.
Its OEM-approved brands including Bucco Canopies, SA Canopy, Carryboy, Rhino Linings, Securi-Lids, Kilber bull bars and roll bars, StarTrek Towbars and Auto Armor vehicle protection products.
"The launch again emphasises our desire to invest in growth and though it will require a significant investment, we are extremely confident that this will be a successful venture," he concludes.
