Hello,
I went to a franchise show recently and snap on were there. I didn't know much about them before that; I had heard the name and knew they were expensive but high quality tools and that's about as much as I knew.
Do they just turn up on garage forecourts once a week to sell tools to mechanics? Do mechanics have to buy their own tools; I always assumed the garage would buy them for their employees?
Is there a problem that if the tools are too expensive, mechanics will not be able to afford to buy them and will buy cheaper ones from elsewhere?
Or is there an issue that the tools are such good quality, they will never break and need replacing so you will never make repeat sales?
I was looking for a change of career and so I was half interested in a franchise of some sort.
Thanks, Stephen.
