Training: CAR time has 2 training centres—one in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal, and one in Edenvale, Gauteng. We provide ongoing, year-round training and strongly encourage franchisees and their teams to attend, ensuring they stay ahead of industry trends and continually sharpen their skills. Every new franchisee completes our comprehensive 3-week training programme before opening their store, giving them the knowledge, confidence, and capabilities needed to hit the ground running from day one.
Eligibility: We select our applicants carefully —only those who truly embody the CAR time ethos. While mechanical training isn’t required, strong business acumen and a genuine commitment to customer service are essential. Our turnkey model sets each workshop up to perform at its peak—but true profitability comes when franchisees follow the proven CAR time business system. CAR time prides itself on a unified, growth-driven culture that keeps our nationwide network strong and our customers’ vehicles running safely and reliably. The sense of unity within the franchise group is powerful—with ongoing support from Head Office and a collaborative community of fellow franchisees.
