Future Plans:


We will continue to look to expand our operations throughout Australia. The current demand for our services suggests that we have some way to go before we reach anywhere near saturation point. We see this growth coming from both organic growth and possible acquisitions. With a more difficult job market we envisage an increase in enquiries as people look to take control of their own destiny.

Our China operation has reached a stage where the initial groundwork has been completed and we feel we have a model that can expand throughout that country.

Testimonials:


I joined Car Care about eight years ago having been involved in sales within the automotive market. We were planning to move from SA to Qld with our young family and it was important for me to do something where my hours were flexible so that I could spend time with them. I was also attracted by the idea of being able to determine my own income by being rewarded by my own efforts. Like most people I was a little apprehensive about how it might turn out but now, some eight years on, I can honestly say everything I was looking for I have received - and some. I have been busy from day one and am now booked well in advance. The support I get from Car Care in Qld is great, and although I don't need the help I needed in the early days it is still nice to know I can pick up the phone at any time and there is someone that understands the business. This business is easy to learn and as long as you are prepared to work hard and provide great service to your customers you will never look back.
