The Automotive Success Story of the Fluidrive Powertrain Partners Franchise

The Fluidrive Powertrain Partners franchise specialises in repair services of automatic transmissions, across Australia. The automotive services franchise was set up in 1963 by Joe Shneider, who recognised the importance of automatic transmissions early on, to take specialised training in automatic transmission repair and service from Richmond Technical College. Gradual and continuous growth was witnessed by the car servicing business, since with the opening of its first franchised workshop opening in 1976 at Geelong.

Fluidrive Powertrain Partners credits its popularity and success to its customer service, as referrals contribute to over 50 per cent of its retail business. With increasing electronic controls and gears, automatic transmissions are getting complicated and sophisticated. The car servicing business makes works to keep itself abreast of all the technological developments and train its staff accordingly, to better their services as well as to stay ahead of competition.

The car servicing business is well known in the transmission industry and is considered the best even among the senior representative bodies. The ‘Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce’ considers Fluidrive Powertrain Partners to be an accredited specialist.

Starting with a single outlet in Victoria, the car servicing business has expanded across Victoria and Albury. Currently, all the Fluidrive Powertrain Partners workshops are owned and operated franchises.
