AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY UPDATE
Vehicle ownership could be called the backbone of economic development in India. Industrialization has
caused a migration from rural farming to city living and grown the GDP. Many people are adjusting to a
western standard of living and are purchasing personal vehicles.
India is the second largest growing automobile industry in the world. The first cars hit the streets of India in
1897. All vehicles were imported up until the 1930s. Now there are more than 20 million private vehicles
and over 3 million vehicles being produced domestically each year.
The popularity of car ownership and the growth of the automotive sector in India is alive. One Indian news
agency is quoted as saying “it is growing exponentially”. Some published reports show roughly 13 cars
per 1000 persons, while the Indian government reports nearly 20 million registered non transit 4 wheeled
vehicles such as cars and jeeps alone. The demand for increased capacity in public transport and the
growth of increased road infrastructure has led to the year over year growth in vehicle ownership.
The growth rate of personal vehicle ownership presents an exciting opportunity for business. There are
over 20 million cars and light trucks on the road. The demand for car maintenance and repair exceeds
8 Billion USD per year. The market is growing by 20 – 25% per year according to the Automotive
Aftermarket Industry Association. The continued industrialization and economic development of India
provides tremendous opportunity to develop the Precision Tune Auto Care brand throughout the country.
The car has become one of the first material items a person will buy with their new wealth, yet the car
maintenance industry has remained a very large and untapped market in India.

FRANCHISE UPDATE FOR INDIA
India is now the world’s largest franchise market after North America; it is growing at about 30% per
year. Franchising as a business model has been known in India for decades. There has clearly been an
unprecedented interest in adopting the franchising business model recently, as evidence from the growth
rate witnessed in the last five to ten years.
KPMG conducted a study on the franchising sector in India in 2013. It found that the sector had grown to
USD 13.4 Billion in 2012, and is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 30% over the next
five years. There are currently 1,200 franchisors in India, of which 25 percent are of international origin. U.S.
brands representing the lion’s share of international concepts. Ultimately, KMPG expects the franchising
industry will grow to exceed 20 Billion USD per year by 2020, at which time franchising will be contributing
roughly 4% of India’s GDP.
India is undergoing a huge demographic transformation thanks to industrialization and economic
development that will continue to fuel a consumption boom for products and services. The rapidly growing
economy has created a class of over 250 million middle-income Indians with high disposable incomes.
India’s greater demand for goods has generating a greater demand for franchises, especially U.S. franchises.
Franchising is ideally suited for Indian entrepreneurs as a business model. It is expected that the services
sector, such as the automotive aftermarket, financial services, logistics, health & wellness, and food service
will be a major contributor to the growth story of franchising in the next half decade. Precision Tune Auto
Care looks forward to the development of the brand in India. India, coupled with unprecedented car
ownership rates and a love for franchising, is a market that is hungry for Precision Tune Auto Care. Once
the brand enters the local economy, it will become a brand known for an exceptional service within the
automotive repair sector.

The statistics on the left represent only the non-transport registered cars and jeeps, it does not account for
taxis and other fleet vehicles used in transport and are otherwise classified by the government of India. The
development opportunity could be understated by as much as 30 – 50%. The primary customer profile will be
the upper middle class customer and companies with fleets interested in maintaining their cars and light trucks
in good working order outside of relying upon the dealership for service. The motorcycle and scooter market
will never disappear, but clearly, a migration is underway from 2 wheeled to the 4 wheeled vehicles.
Precision Tune Auto Care is willing to award the Master Franchise rights to the entire country of India for the
sum of $1,500,000 USD. Should your company only operate in ¼ of the country, a company can purchase the
master franchise rights for as little as $500,000 USD for each ¼ of the country awarded.
Based upon average US production, Precision Tune Auto Care seeks a car population of 20,000 – 40,000 vehicles
within a 5 – 15 minutes driving time. The total annual automotive aftermarket for maintenance and repair in
the largest 20 states of India is estimated to be in excess of 8 Billion USD per year. This illustration shows the
development potential not withstanding
20 – 25 percent annual growth to the car market for the top 20 states with a minimum potential today for more
than 200 locations.

Founded in 1976 and franchising since 1977, we are America’s largest engine performance car-care
company. We have over 280 centers operating in the U.S. and another 98 centers located internationally
including: Taiwan, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Oman. We have initiated an aggressive growth plan to open
more centers internationally, including countries in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
THE MARKET
The primary Precision Tune Auto Care customers are middle class families who are dependent on their
vehicle for transportation. With the complexity of today’s vehicles, the “do it yourselfers” find they
“cannot do it”. While they may have the necessary tools to change their oil, and maybe change their
spark plugs, they don’t have the resources to diagnose and repair today’s technologically advanced engines.
Although each international market is unique, the PTAC business model has proven successful in a variety
of very different environments, with minor modifications made as necessary.
THE COMPETITION
In the 1970s and early 1980s, our primary competition came from full-service gas stations. Today, our
primary competition comes from the dealership and we estimate that will probably be the case worldwide.
The dealerships are focusing more on after-sale service as a revenue generator. The problem with
the dealers’ strategy is that today’s automobile owners are not happy with the dealerships. High cost,
inconvenience and the quality of the work are most often cited. Tire dealers and maintenance garages form
the next level of competition. We are prepared to analyze market potential anywhere in the world.
Regardless of the competition, our model can work anywhere in the world. We are more convenient:
an average car is in our shop approximately an hour and a half, and most of the centers take appointments.
We beat the dealerships’ price, job for job, and warranty our work for 12 months or 12,000 miles
(or 12 months/20,000 kilometers). Internationally, Precision Tune Auto Care has positioned itself as the
alternative to the dealership while providing convenience, expertise and the best value for today’s consumer.

OUR SUPPORT SYSTEM
Precision Tune Auto Care is a business format franchise. Our business concept has not only been invented,
it has been successfully working since 1976 and internationally since1991. We continue to develop and
refine the systems and procedures, that when properly implemented, can lead to businesses with excellent
sales potential. Our support systems encompass the necessary disciplines for Master Franchisees to develop
and grow our brand within their country and include, but are not limited to: site selection, marketing,
advertising, technical and management training, operations, parts acquisition and much more. We are
prepared to provide support to international Master Franchisees both in our corporate offices in the
United States and throughout the world.
Site Selection — Franchisees lease or purchase their own location.
Training at Precision University — Precision Tune Auto Care offers one of the most advanced training
programs in the industry. We will teach you how to create and implement the needed infrastructure to
support your franchises, as well as how to profitably operate a PTAC center in our Franchise Management
course. We will cover all aspects of the business including: financial management, salesmanship, business
management, marketing and advertising, labor and purchasing, as well as an overview of our services.
In addition to the Franchise Management course, Precision University offers the following management
courses: Service Writer Training; Financial Modeling and Templating; and Softwrench (POS System) Training.
Our engine performance and automotive maintenance training program for technicians spans eight weeks
and entails 40% classroom time and 60% hands-on training. While it is an extensive course, when your
team has successfully completed the course, you will have the most qualified technicians in your country.
These technical classes include: Engine Performance; Automotive Electronics, Emissions and On-Board
Diagnostics; Brakes; Air Conditioning Service and Repair; Preventative Maintenance; Domestic and Asian
Fuel Injection; and Hybrids.
Operations — Master Franchisees provide the first echelon of support in any market. They provide routine
support in site identification, marketing and day-to-day operations, as well as periodic training, site visits and
offer constructive feedback of the center’s operation. Master Franchisees are normally located in the region.
Advertising — Each center is required to spend resources on advertising. The Master Franchisee may
elect to collect some or all of these funds for use in a cooperative advertising campaign. This strategy
provides for a much larger potential audience than possible to an individual center.
The corporate marketing and advertising department will provide the Master Franchisee with professional
advice on the selection and implementation of marketing plans and tools. They will also receive regular
updates on advertising materials and opportunities.

YOUR LOCATIONS
In our early years, many of our centers were converted service stations. By the 1980’s we began opening
in auto malls which are occupied exclusively by tenants in like industries. In the 1990s, we began operating
in state of the art professionally designed centers. Complete blueprint packages, equipment listings, parts
room deign, and graphic requirements are provided to each master franchisee. With over thirty years in the
automotive business, Precision Tune Auto Care has established a formula for success.
The site criteria and demographics we look for are:
• A population base of 50,000 (predominantly middle income) within three miles
for Metropolitan areas. However, this will vary from one country to another.
• Activity generators. We want to create a synergy and be surrounded by other
businesses which will also draw people into our location.
THE OPPORTUNITY
In developing international Master Franchise opportunities, Precision Tune Auto Care is looking to
establish long-term relationships with quality business professionals. Prior experience in the automotive
industry is not as critical to your success as is your ability to adapt and implement a proven business
system to your local conditions. Precision Tune Auto Care provides the system, superb training in the
specifics, continuous and ongoing support and the opportunity to capture a significant portion of the
growing automotive industry.
Master Franchise opportunities are available worldwide. The first step in developing a relationship is to
define the opportunity within the host country. Specifically, we need to determine the number of centers
the country can accommodate. Once you have reviewed the literature, we can discuss specific opportunities.
HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?
Simply call us at (800) 438-8863, option 3 (toll-free) or (703) 777-9095 x211
(outside of the United States), and we will discuss your interests. We will want
to get details about your plans and the resources available to you to bring
those plans into effect. We are also prepared to meet with you in our
corporate office in Leesburg, Virginia (a suburb of Washington, DC).
Our fax number is (703) 669-1539.
If there is a “meeting of the minds,” then the next step is to sign a letter of
intent after which we will send you a copy of the Master Franchise Agreement.
You and your attorneys will review it and we will negotiate the terms of the
Agreement. This negotiation process will typically take between 1–2 months as
details are worked out such as the Development and Training Schedules and country
specific considerations.

are very growth oriented, we stand ready to move out with qualified prospects at a moment’s notice.
