Take over the first Wheel Specialist franchise
The Wheel Specialist Manchester has been trading since 2007, and it's now available to take over.
The Wheel Specialist Manchester was the first franchise in our network when it opened in 2007. Nearly 20 years later, it's available as a resale as the current owner is planning to retire and take a step back.
For the right buyer, it's a chance to take the first Wheel Specialist franchise into its next chapter, with the local awareness built up over that time behind you.

Why Manchester?
Greater Manchester is one of the UK's largest urban areas, with a strong mix of private motorists, dealerships, independent garages, bodyshops and tyre centres.
As the Manchester franchisee you'd serve public customers, trade customers and National Account work, building on a business that's been known locally since 2007.
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
