Company Overviews
About Fabrion
In 1988, we began franchising Fabrion's exclusive repair and restoration systems. Today there are 118 Fabrion franchisees operating mobile repair and restoration units in major U.S. markets. The Fabrion franchise network is now servicing over 4,000 new car dealers at their used car facilities and achieves millions in annual sales.
YOUR SUCCESS RIGHT NOW IS SITTING ON THE LOTS OF NEW CAR DEALERS WITH USED CAR FACILITIES, RENTAL CAR AGENCIES, TAXICAB AND BUS FLEETS, AND AUTOMOBILE AUCTION LOTS!
With Fabrion's revolutionary restoration products and methods, you will have the confidence to sell our services to any business that sells, rents and maintains automobiles, buses and trucks. These businesses demand our high level of service because they know that the first impressions sell or rent a car, or whether a passenger will use their service again.
For example in the U.S., in recent years, new car dealers have become increasingly aware that the sale of good clean used cars adds substantial profits to the bottom line. As a result, they are dependent upon selling used cars, and new car dealers are investing more money in reconditioning these automobiles. Car dealers realize they need their used car inventory looking and smelling almost new...because they know first impressions sell a car.
Fabrion franchisees offer the car dealer the industry restoration standards for velour, fabric, carpet, leather, vinyl, and plastic to repair damage done by cigarette burns, cuts, tears, faded areas, stains and holes in all substrates, expertly. Franchisees also deodorize automobiles that smell of tobacco, mold or mildew, pet or other odor.
A typical mobile service unit will establish repeat sales and service 15 to 25 accounts about four times per month. Repeat business is established and ALL WORK IS GUARANTEED IN WRITING!
