Why Bournemouth?

Bournemouth sits on the South Coast, with a mix of private motorists, dealerships, independent garages, bodyshops and tyre centres.

As the Bournemouth franchisee you'd serve public customers, trade customers and National Account work, building on a business that's already known locally.

A specialist model with support behind it

Every Wheel Specialist franchise works from fixed premises: a showroom and workshop offering powder coating, diamond cutting, wheel straightening and related wheel services. We are not a mobile repair service.

As a franchisee you'd have The Hub, our Head Office team, behind you, with training, systems, marketing, the CRM, lead follow-up and ongoing business support.

The Wheel Specialist has been a family business since 1955 and has franchised since 2007. Today the network has 20+ branches, has refurbished over 1.5 million wheels and has over 25,000 five-star reviews.

Who we're looking for

You don't need wheel refurbishment experience. You do need:

  • a passion for great customer service and for doing the job properly
  • the ability to manage and motivate a team
  • a wish to understand every part of how the business works
  • the drive to grow a local business
