Touch Up Guys is Australasia's market leader in mobile paint and bumper repairs with more than 130 successful business operations in Australia and New Zealand and more recently in the USA. Our Franchise has grown in both good and bad economic times because sooner or later everyone needs the services we offer and because we have a proven business model that works.
Founded by savvy businessman Fred Hawken 20 years ago and still a family owned and run franchise, Touch Up Guys offers customers a high quality alternative to traditional panel and paint shops. Customers no longer have to face the expense and inconvenience of losing their vehicles to a panel shop for days at a time. Touch Up Guys come to their home or workplace and complete most repairs in a matter of hours. Car dealers love us because their vehicles never have to leave their dealerships and are always available for inspection by potential buyers.
As highly trained technicians using the most advanced techniques available today, our Franchisees provide high quality repairs to bumper bars, paintwork, spoilers, body kits and kerb damaged alloy wheels. Other specialties include buffing and polishing, colour coding and installing and colour coding reversing sensors.
With the lower costs of running a mobile business, savings are passed on to the customer with less time, money and stress spent on completing the job. Most jobs cost less than the insurance excess, saving customers from losing their insurance no-claim bonus. Our customers are always amazed at quality, cost effectiveness and convenience of our work.
With more than 100,000 repairs completed every year and demand for our services growing exponentially, Touch Up Guys need more Touch Up Guys all over Australia now.

Greg Mitchell - Touch Up Guys Launceston
"What drew me to Touch Up Guys besides their strong business ethics, the excellent R & D and backup support, was that it didn't matter how many Touch Up Guys Franchisees I spoke to (about 12 in all) they all said pretty much the same thing. It was a solid business with solid back up and honest down to earth people around you."
Craig Myers - Touch Up Guys Rode Road
