Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centres - Who We Are
Budget Brake & Muffler began in 1972 as a specialty brake & muffler repair franchise with only a few locations in Vancouver. Over the years we have listened carefully to our customers and evolved our offerings to meet their changing needs, transforming Budget Brake & Muffler Automotive Centres into the full service automotive repair franchise that it is today.
Budget began with a simple promise: to remain a “locally owned and operated business that repairs vehicles in a professional and economical way.” And we stay true to our promise today. All our franchises are locally owned and operated. Customers appreciate dealing directly with the owner of the business. This relationship dynamic assures a personal level of service from invested owners who want to do the best job they can for their customers and their business.
Many of our franchise owners have been with us for more than 30 years. In fact, many of those owners are planning for family succession, bringing in the next generation of sons and daughters to drive their businesses forward.
We take pride in the loyalty of our owners, making our business successful and stable. We have built a franchise model with a highly regarded and trusted brand that delivers outcomes that speak for themselves.
When you become a Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centres franchise owner our experienced and dynamic team will be there to support you. We’ll help you define your goals and execute your business plan.
