What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is generally restricted to providing repair services only for vehicles purchased from Byrider-branded businesses. This is because each Byrider business includes a service center that is intended to service Byrider vehicles.
However, there is an exception to this rule. A Byrider franchisee can provide repair services to the general public if Byrider Franchising Partners provides written approval. This approval would allow a franchisee to expand their service offerings beyond the Byrider customer base.
This written approval from Byrider Franchising Partners is essential for any franchisee looking to diversify their service center's revenue stream by servicing vehicles not originally sold through Byrider. Without this approval, the franchisee is in violation of the franchise agreement.
