Automotive, Maintenance & Repair
A Founder’s Story
After a distinguished career as a Senior Product Engineer with Ford, Chrysler, Navistar Defense, and BFGoodrich Aerospace, I sought something that combined creativity, problem-solving, and flexibility. Fibrenew became that next chapter—allowing me to transition from managing large-scale engineering projects to working hands-on with leather, vinyl, and plastics. From restoring classic car interiors to repairing marine seating at marinas and breathing new life into cherished heirloom furniture, every project has been a chance to create value for customers while keeping my creative side engaged.
Why This Business Stands Out
- Diverse Opportunities: From automotive and marine to residential, commercial, and healthcare industries, the territory offers a wide and varied customer base with untapped growth potential.
- Proven Support System: Fibrenew’s training, products, and supportive franchise network give new owners confidence to take on any challenge.
- Creative & Fulfilling Work: No two jobs are the same, and every repair brings the satisfaction of helping customers save money and preserve what matters to them.
- Lifestyle Flexibility: The business has offered me a balanced schedule—time to care for family while still running a profitable and engaging enterprise.
Opportunities for Growth
While the business is established, there are still many directions a new owner could explore further, including:
- Expanding into construction vinyl and window repairs.
- Growing partnerships with medical facilities, restaurants, and RV dealerships.
- Strengthening commercial accounts with offices and other high-traffic environments.
Why Buyers Will Love This Territory
The territory offers a wide variety of prospects across multiple industries, with significant untapped potential in nearby markets. For a new owner with fresh energy and focused marketing efforts, this area provides a solid foundation today and an excellent springboard for long-term growth.
Looking Ahead
For me, Fibrenew has been the perfect bridge into retirement. For you, it could be a launchpad into entrepreneurship, financial independence, and a business you can shape your way.
This is your chance to step into an established Fibrenew franchise with strong foundations, proven operations, and endless room for growth.
