Sam Meineke began with a single store in Houston in 1972. The company has since become a subsidiary of Part Industry Corp. and part of a British-owned, multifaceted group that supplies automotive and agricultural components and systems.
The initial concept of providing quality exhaust service at discount prices has expanded to include complete brake service, oil and lube service, front-end alignment, shock and strut service and Catalytic converters.
No automotive or mechanical background required
Meineke has in-house and field based operational and training employees and vendor resources at it's disposal. These resources are used to provide regular visits and communications to ensure that new franchisee is adequately prepared to achieve success.
In addition, Meineke continues to invest in technology to provide Business Tools on-line. Meineke has an extensive "Dealer Access" web-site that provides operations manuals, on-line training modules, an interactive forum for franchisees to discuss common issues and publications. Meineke has recently added an on-line Business Planning tool that will help to understand any weaknesses in financial or operational performance (through benchmarking) and will provide specific action plans to remedy those weaknesses.
