About Us
Fresh Car started in 2015 as a university project. Sam, the founder, had a passion for car care and an inner entrepreneur he couldn’t keep contained. Studying business, it was clear to him he’d rather build his own venture than work for a big company, and the only way to learn was to get his hands dirty and take a risk. Fresh Car was created out of the back of a beat-up old 2007 Citroen Berlingo that squeaked every time the brakes were pressed.
After building the business to 15 employees, it became clear that the team was looking for more. Holding true to our value of being entrepreneurial, we designed a system that gave everybody the opportunity to run their own business with their own customers, managing their own hours and reaping more rewards for their effort.
Although our system is far more sophisticated now, the values that made the business work then are still the same today- obsessing over a great customer experience, being entrepreneurial, making things happen, and having fun on the job.
Now, we’ve become experts in supporting ambitious individuals in building high-performing mobile car care businesses. We achieve this through a combination of digital marketing, market-leading technology, and business and technical support. This allows us to deliver our vision of enabling great people to be at their best.

David Clarke
Franchise Owner: York
" I have always loved fixing things and helping people. It is really great meeting customers and helping them with their vehicle repairs. I think what helps me to be successful is when, on a job, I focus on what I am doing in the present, take the time to do the work well, and learn every day. Almost treating the money as an inevitable byproduct of delivering quality work and great customer service."
Mike Griffin
Franchise Owner: Edinburgh
" The SMART onboarding has been very supportive with great advice and training, helping me move forward with my SMART Repair business in Edinburgh. As a beginner, the training has been excellent. The week training taught me spray gun techniques and the instructor was very good. Two weeks with a skilled technician on real customer cars were fantastic—his clear explanations and patience helped improve my skills and ease my nerves. Training with the Head of SMART Repairs on systems was also very helpful. The office team has been supportive in managing jobs and sorting queries. Overall, a great experience! "
