“Protecting your investment”

How would you like to be part of a business that has been established for over 20 years with proven systems and track record? A business with low overheads that can be operated from home and one that already has thousands of satisfied customers. What are your thoughts on being supplied hundreds of potential customers ready for your service on your launch day and ongoing monthly through your business term. Being trained and having day-to-day contact with the person who started the business in 1985 as apposed to a member of staff or support team. This is a small part of what a successful applicant receives from the Autovaletdirect Franchise.

About us

Autovaletdirect are not your ordinary mundane mobile valeting service, established in 1985 and franchised in 2006, Autovaletdirect offer a premier mobile car valeting / detailing / paint & fabric protection service to retail, commercial and trade customers.
An Autovaletdirect franchisee offers a wide range of products, which both protect a vehicle's paintwork and upholstery and keep it looking new and fresh. Fully trained and equipped to correct paintwork problems such as scratches, fading and oxidization.., remove odours and spillages which couldn't normally be removed with cleaning products and handle specialist jobs such as flood and fire damage. The difference between an Autovaletdirect valeter/detailer and a car cleaner/washer is that we set out to accomplish.  A car cleaner is going to get a car clean, while an Autovaletdirect franchisee sets out to raise and/or maintain the value of a vehicle. Our policy is to offer an unrivalled product and service range with excellent advice from knowledgeable staff.
