Since the early 1900's, the auto industry has been driving North America.

Every year, record numbers of dollars are spent developing new vehicle designs and technologies. And every year, additional millions are spent encouraging consumers to "take the plunge" with a more advanced, more luxurious, more high-performance vehicle.

Through their very existence, automakers have created a vast aftermarket economy that supports and maintains consumer needs to have existing and new vehicles tweaked, repaired and enhanced. This aftermarket economy addresses needs that range from the replacement of an entire engine to the need for a tune-up to the purchase of a pine-scented air freshener to hang on the rear-view mirror.

Moran Industries, Inc. occupies a strategic position in the automotive aftermarket, providing entrepreneurs with the means to capture their share of the billions of dollars being spent annually.

With over 216 million vehicles on the road, and millions more filling the new vehicle sales pipeline, there will always be a need for the aftermarket products and services provided by Mr. Transmission franchises.

Look closely at exactly how much is being spent every year. Think about the opportunity that awaits businesses with the right combination of products, service and operational savvy.

Then remember this: every day, the number of vehicles on the road increases. And that means, every day, there's an even greater opportunity for you to build a successful automotive aftermarket business through Moran Industries.

Store Development: Training and Support Services

Even though we're focused on the automotive aftermarket, having an automotive background isn't required or necessary. The reason: our franchise system is built on proven principles that have been successfully implemented by people from all walks of life. This is possible because we have invested in one of the most comprehensive pre-opening training and assistance programs in the industry.

You will start with a full 3 weeks of on-site training in a real, operating Mr. Transmission business. During your hands-on training, you'll learn first hand about how the business works.

You will interface with employees and customers. You will watch the selling process in action. By the end of those 3 weeks, you'll be completely familiar with the business, inside and out. Next, you will spend 10 days in classroom training, where you will receive easy-to-understand management training and learn to implement and follow our proven philosophy of our business systems. The result? When your center is ready to open you will be ready and able to take charge.
