What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Precision Door Service FDD, franchisees must maintain the vehicles used in the operation of their business in accordance with the franchisor's requirements. This includes periodically refreshing the vehicles to meet the standards established by Precision Door Service.
Precision Door Service can require franchisees to modernize or replace their vehicles to conform to the standards of 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 for any renewal of the agreement.
Upon termination of the franchise agreement, franchisees must promptly remove or obliterate all Precision Garage Door Service signage, displays, or other materials bearing any of the Marks or names, including all such signage and displays on any vehicles. Franchisees must also alter the appearance of the business premises, vehicles, and trailers to differentiate the business unmistakably from duly licensed Precision Garage Door Service businesses identified by the Marks. If a franchisee fails to immediately de-identify their business, they must pay all expenses Precision Door Service incurs to de-identify the business.
