Amigo Auto Spa has made its debut in the Franchise 100 list 2020 recently published by The Franchising World magazine. The brands scored impressively on over 45 parameters to identify the high growth and franchise-friendly opportunities across the sectors; it is featured in the debutant list of Franchise 100.
In a market with scores of international brands offering exclusive car detailing services at exorbitant prices, Hyderabad-based Amigo Auto Spa has carved a niche for itself.
Launched in 2015, the company offers quality services – clean, shine and protect – at affordable prices targeted at the average Indian consumer. The brand offers many services seen for the first time in India, including laparoscopic AC condenser cleaning without opening the dashboard of a vehicle.
The brand is also the first in India to use nano-technology in their polymer-based ceramic coating and offers anti-germ protective coating to vehicles. With its unique offerings and business model, the company has aggressive plans to expand pan-India. “We started franchising in 2018 to expand our operations and currently have four franchised outlets in Hyderabad. We now intend to establish our brand across all the cities and provide quality services at affordable prices,” says MS Dhheeraj, CEO, Amigo Auto Spa.
