Founded in 2018, this is a specialist 12V vehicle-battery business built on doing one thing exceptionally well: testing, supplying and fitting car batteries while the customer waits. The company trades from its established branch in Gauteng, and forms part of a larger automotive group.
The business is owned and directed by a respected name in South Africa's automotive world, who also founded a celebrated custom-car workshop known nationally for its world-class vehicle restorations and conversions. That same engineering pedigree and brand discipline underpins the franchise offering.
Each franchise outlet is a modern, expertise-led store focused exclusively on 12V vehicle batteries — passenger, AGM/EFB stop-start, light-commercial, motorcycle and marine — anchored by a proprietary premium range, which carries a 26-month warranty, the longest standard car-battery warranty in South Africa. Stores also stock smart chargers, jump-starters and accessories. Every battery is professionally tested and fitted by a trained technician, with free, responsible recycling of the old unit.
The franchise is available in three turnkey tiers to suit different locations, footprints and investment appetites, with total investment from R2.4 million. Each is supplied as a complete, ready-to-trade package covering shopfitting, equipment, opening stock, training and launch marketing. Franchisees receive a 10-year agreement, comprehensive initial and ongoing operational support, national and regional marketing, and access to an end-to-end battery supply chain.
With a proven flagship store, a clear hero product and a focused, scalable model, this franchise offers a compelling opportunity for owner-operators entering South Africa's multi-billion-rand vehicle-battery aftermarket.
