Honest-1 Auto Care Named 2013 Military Friendly Franchise ®


Honest-1 Auto Care was ranked in the top 10 percent of all franchises nationwide and named a 2013 Military Friendly Franchise® by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs.

Honest-1 Auto Care the only national full-service auto repair and maintenance franchise that is 100 percent ESA® Certified Eco-Friendly, honors military veterans by offering service members a discount of more than 15 percent off the franchise fee for qualified military veterans from any branch of the military service. This program helps military veterans make an easier transition to civilian life by using their background and training to launch a new civilian career. With a dedication to servicemen and servicewomen, Honest-1 Auto Care looks to our nation’s heroes to help grow their business.

“There should be much gratitude given to our veterans and current men and women in the armed forces,” said Chip Baranowski, Vice President of Franchise Development for Honest-1 Auto Care. “For the sacrifices they make and dedication they show on a daily basis, Honest-1 offers incentive initiatives to give back to servicemen and servicewomen. Their willingness to learn, honor and exceptional work-ethic makes them ideal candidates for any franchise system, and especially for Honest-1.”

Being selected as a Military Friendly Franchise® places Honest-1Auto Care in an elite group and is testimony to Honest-1’s commitment to supporting military veterans interested in franchise opportunities.

“One in four returning service members indicate interest in owning their own business,” said Sean Collins, director for G.I. Jobs.  “Franchises are a perfect fit for service members, who bring unparalleled operational skill sets and work ethic but are often unclear how to start a business.” 

The 2013 Military Friendly Franchises® list was compiled via a data-driven survey overseen by an advisory board of industry experts. The survey results list were independently tested by Ernst & Young based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media.

Aiming to fix the auto care customer experience, Honest-1 took the time to re-define how the entire experience should look and feel, from the customer service members at the front desk to the waiting areas and top-quality amenities available while customers wait. Honest-1 is not only the best option for all consumer bases, who need all scopes of service work, from basic oil changes to full transmission diagnostics and complete auto repair services, but one that any car owner would feel comfortable spending time in. Plus, Honest-1 utilizes technology to review repairs with their customers by showing the customer their vehicle and service issue in 3D interface to visually see their vehicle needs, and not just hear it from their customer service manager.

Honest-1 Auto Care plans to expand into markets around the country including, Phoenix, Atlanta, Nashville, Indianapolis, Miami, Orlando, Raleigh, Charlotte, Michigan, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Denver, and many others.
