Invest in Your Future with This Low-Cost, High-Demand Mobile Business in a £Multi-Million Industry!
Optic-Kleer offers a proven, low-investment route into business ownership within the UK’s automotive services sector. Specialising in windscreen chip repair, the brand has built a strong national reputation for convenience, quality and customer satisfaction, delivering repairs while customers shop at supermarkets and retail parks.
Optic-Kleer is an official partner of Auto Windscreens who are one of the largest windscreen repair and replacement companies in the UK, servicing 10s of thousands of customers every year. They hold the prestigious ServiceMark accreditation from the Institute of Customer Service, and have more than 60,000 4 and 5-star reviews on Trustpilot.
As a key partner for this national brand, Optic-Kleer has positioned itself as one of the most recognised and high-profile names in the windscreen repair business. Their franchisees were already well on their way to becoming household names in their local areas, but now they can look forward to a hugely boosted profile on a national level as well.
About the Franchise
With Optic-Kleer you have no need for premises, staff or large stock holdings, as you will operate a mobile service from high-footfall locations via your direct access to the car parks of some of the UK's biggest retail names: Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Asda, B&Q, and Homebase. You will benefit from strong brand recognition and established partnerships with these major retailers and insurers.
Customers are drawn to us in supermarket car parks as they can have their windscreen repaired whilst they shop,” Mike Cruz, Lincolnshire franchisee
Demand for the service Optic-Kleer supplies is consistent and growing with the need for fast, affordable repair services ongoing. Many repairs are covered by insurance, making the service an easy decision for customers.
As of early 2026, UK government data* and industry reports confirm that the number of licensed vehicles on UK roads has continued to rise, exceeding 42 million and industry research indicates that around one in three (33%) drivers have experienced windscreen damage in the past year, with many incidents caused by the poor state of British roads.
