What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Precision Door Service Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with acquiring and maintaining vehicles used in the operation of their Precision Door Service business. The franchisee must maintain and periodically refresh the vehicles used in the operation of their business in accordance with the requirements established periodically.
Precision Door Service also requires franchisees to modernize and/or replace vehicles from time to time as necessary for the business to conform to the standards for similarly situated new Precision Garage Door Service businesses. Compliance with these modernization or replacement requirements is a condition of any transfer of interest in the Franchise Agreement or the business, as well as any renewal of the agreement.
This means that a Precision Door Service franchisee should anticipate ongoing expenses related to their vehicles, not only for routine maintenance but also for periodic upgrades or replacements to meet the franchisor's standards. These costs can impact the overall profitability of the franchise and should be carefully considered when evaluating the investment.
