Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Meineke Car Care Centers's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Meineke Car Care Centers franchise cost?
Meineke Car Care Centers' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $207K–$562K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $45,000, and is included in that range.
What royalty does Meineke Car Care Centers charge?
Meineke Car Care Centers charges a continuing royalty of 5% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 8% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
Does Meineke Car Care Centers disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. Meineke Car Care Centers makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. The filing reports average annual gross revenue of $853,000. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
Does Meineke Car Care Centers give a protected territory?
Meineke Car Care Centers' FDD describes a protected territory in Item 12. Protection varies in what it actually excludes — franchisors commonly reserve online sales and alternative channels inside it — so the wording in the filing matters more than the yes.
