How much does a Fix Auto franchise make?

Fix Auto is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every automotive brand that discloses earnings in the Automotive franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Fix Auto franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Fix Auto franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Fix Auto franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Fix Auto lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Fix Auto's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Fix Auto itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Fix Auto closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Fix Auto will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Fix Auto's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a automotive of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Fix Auto's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.

Who owns Fix Auto?

Fix Auto's franchise is offered by FUSA Franchisor SPV LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Fix Auto franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Fix Auto — who is the franchisor?

Fix Auto's most recently filed FDD (2025) names FUSA Franchisor SPV LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.

How much does a Fix Auto franchise cost?

Fix Auto's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $55,100 – $850,000, with an initial franchise fee of $10,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against automotive peers it sits in the lower quartile (median $432,600).

How much profit does a Fix Auto franchise make?

Fix Auto discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties, the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Fix Auto franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.

Does Fix Auto disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Fix Auto reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.

Are there lawsuits against Fix Auto?

Fix Auto's most recently filed FDD (2025) discloses legal proceedings in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Fix Auto itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Is Fix Auto a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Fix Auto's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against automotive peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
