You don’t need to be a mechanic to succeed with a Wheel Change U franchise – you just need drive.
If you’ve ever dreamed of running your own business but assumed you needed years of tyre experience or an automotive background to make it work, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common objections we hear from potential franchisees.
But here’s the truth: many of our most successful franchise owners had zero tyre experience before joining us. What they did have was the right attitude and the willingness to learn.
Let’s Bust the Biggest Myth in Mobile Tyre Franchising
You don’t need a trade certificate. You don’t need to have worked in a garage. And you definitely don’t need to know how to strip a tyre before breakfast.
Wheel Change U is not your typical tyre shop. We’re a mobile service, designed to deliver convenience to customers right where they are – at home, at work, or anywhere in between. That means no workshop, no pressure to upsell, and no complex systems.
In fact, we’ve specifically designed our onboarding process so that people without tyre experience can step into a fully supported business model and thrive.
We Train You From Day One – No Experience Needed
If you’re thinking, “But I’ve never even changed a tyre,” that’s exactly why we’ve created such a detailed training system.
When you become a WCU franchisee, you’ll receive hands-on, practical training that covers:
- Safe and efficient tyre changing
- Mobile van operation
- Customer service and communication
- Booking systems and mobile invoicing
- Daily routines and time management
And it doesn’t stop there. Post-launch, you’ll get:
- Access to ongoing business coaching
- Support with marketing, advertising and social media
- Advice on growing a local customer base
- A responsive head office team that’s with you every step of the way
You don’t need tyre experience. You just need the right mindset and we’ll teach you the rest.
From Admin Desk to Driver’s Seat: Imagine This
Picture someone like Sarah. She’s worked in admin for over a decade – highly organised, great with people, and ready for something more flexible and rewarding. The catch? She’s never touched a tyre.
But with the right support, Sarah could be exactly the kind of person who thrives in a Wheel Change U franchise. With full training, a supportive team behind her, and a mobile setup designed for simplicity, she could transition smoothly into running her own business – learning everything she needs on the job.
It’s stories like Sarah’s we see time and again: people with no tyre experience stepping confidently into business ownership and building something they’re proud of.
What Skills Actually Matter?
We’re not looking for mechanics. We’re looking for motivated people with real-world experience in other industries who want to take control of their future.
These are the qualities we value most:
- Strong customer service skills
- Practical, hands-on mindset
- Basic tech confidence (our systems are simple)
- Good time management
- Self-motivation and discipline
- A willingness to learn and grow
If you’ve worked in trades, delivery, retail, admin, logistics – or you just want a change – this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
