BUMPER MAN
Bumper Man franchises provide mobile automotive bumper repair services performed on-site at the customer's location using proprietary tools and methods to repair dents, bends, and damage on plastic and metal bumpers, fenders, and other vehicle exterior surfaces. The business model involves franchisees operating independently from an approved vehicle within a designated territory, with optional certified technicians for larger areas, and franchisor support including tools, training, and invoicing services. They target vehicle owners, automobile dealerships, rental car facilities, fleet operators, and other businesses needing quick, on-site repairs without carrying parts or full body shop services.
