RepairOne(R) Expands Headquarters

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 28, 2005; RepairOneŽ Automotive Concepts LLC has completed an expansion of its Daytona Beach, Fla. headquarters. Including the addition of a national training facility, the expansion was initiated in anticipation of increased franchise demand, as RepairOneŽ continues to expand throughout Florida.

"The RepairOneŽ concept has been extremely successful, with market- leading revenue increases since we launched the company in October of 2002," said Todd Hayes, founding partner of RepairOneŽ. "We're the fastest-growing automotive repair and service provider in Volusia County, Florida, and are confident that we will become a major national competitor in the industry's franchise environment."

RepairOneŽ offers complete automotive repair and service, as noted by its AddyŽ Award-winning advertising campaign, "Car Trouble? RepairOneŽ We Fix Everything(TM)." As an example, the company provides extended store hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, free customer shuttle, emergency road-side rescue, nationwide warranty, and friendly, well-dressed store associates. Most of the vehicles brought to RepairOneŽ units are repaired and serviced the same day by certified technicians, most of whom are "ASEŽ Master Certified Technicians." According to Hayes, the use of certified technicians at this level is virtually unheard of in the industry, and just one reason RepairOneŽ currently operates at unit revenue levels significantly higher than industry averages.

"We're in the process of the statewide launch that will begin in 2006, and are positioned for controlled growth in the years ahead," said Hayes. "We'll be adding several new facilities across the state this year, a process made easier by the addition of the new training center. Over the past three years, we've enhanced the RepairOneŽ Method and Model with the integration of a significant amount of automated training, thus allowing faster ramp-up for future franchisees. Our commitment to training is a vital component of our success," added Hayes.

RepairOneŽ is a privately held company based in Daytona Beach, Florida. RepairOneŽ was formed to create and grant the Master Franchise Rights and Area Development Rights of automotive repair and service center stores franchised under the "RepairOneŽ" brand.
