Our franchisees feedback gained us a 5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction rating and we were awarded Platinum status at our Investors in People reaccreditation so you can be assured that our franchise support is best in class.

Enjoy your dream lifestyle working from home, interspersed with getting out to manage your team of technicians and build dealer and trade relationships.

Your target customer split is 50% domestic / 50% commercial and Revive!’s processes are approved by all the major marques, are electric car-compliant, and are insurance & lease company-approved.
The business model is built around employing a small number of skilled technicians and some supporting admin and sales staff, as you grow from 2 vans to 5 and then on to 10 vans in your first territory. To be successful you must be an excellent leader for your team, adept at managing people and great at communication.
