How much does a Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change franchise make?
Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change 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.
Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change 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 Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change 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 Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change'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. Strickland Brothers 10 Minute Oil Change's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
