Established in 1990, the Brakes Plus franchise quickly gained popularity for its excellent workmanship and attention to detail. The automotive services franchise was able to expand at a brisk pace to establish 12 outlets throughout the Melbourne and Brisbane area, with 10 outlets in the Melbourne region and two in the Brisbane region. The car maintenance franchise also won the Premier Regional Business Award and the Employment Award in 1998 and was nominated in another six categories the same year.
Although Brakes Plus was primarily a brake repair and brake pad installation service, its rapid growth allowed the car maintenance franchise to expand its services beyond brake maintenance and to offer full car servicing options to its clients.
However, Brakes Plus was focussed on providing the full car servicing operations to its clients with the same attention to detail and quality of workmanship that has characterised the automotive service franchise’s brake maintenance and repair services.
Another similarity between Brakes Plus’ brake repair and car servicing operations is the discounted cost of both the services. The car maintenance franchise offers the full car servicing option at $79 for most cars, excluding imported vehicles and four wheel drives. Brakes Plus provides its clients with a detailed service inspection report even after service.
