What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 360 Painting's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for maintaining the vehicles used in the business. Specifically, the franchisee must, at their own expense, keep the vehicles in good condition and repair.
This means that as a 360 Painting franchisee, you will bear the financial burden of all vehicle maintenance, including routine servicing, repairs, and replacements. This responsibility extends to ensuring the vehicles are safe and presentable, aligning with 360 Painting's brand standards.
Furthermore, the franchisee must make the vehicles available for inspection by 360 Painting at a mutually agreed-upon location within the protected territory. This allows 360 Painting to ensure that the vehicles meet their standards and are being properly maintained. Failing to maintain the vehicles adequately could lead to a breach of the franchise agreement and potential penalties.
