Next Steps
Starting any franchise or business is a big step, one you need to be sure about. And from our perspective, we’re very careful about who we award franchises to, ensuring The Wheel Specialist brand retains its reputation for excellence.
That’s why our process for becoming a Wheel Specialist franchisee is structured around an open and transparent sharing of information as we get to know each other and determine if we’re a good fit together.
