SPEEDEE OIL CHANGE & AUTO SERVICE
SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service franchises operate quick-service centers providing oil changes, preventive maintenance services like fluid checks and fills, brake services, and other approved automotive repairs to the general public, primarily car and truck owners, without requiring appointments. Centers follow a proprietary system with guaranteed service times, typically in freestanding buildings with drive-through bays located in urban, suburban, or high-traffic areas. The business model involves initial franchise fees, multi-unit development options, royalties, and strict adherence to brand standards for fast, reliable automotive care.

Calculated weighted average gross profit from Chart I (Page 2): (2 units * $410,693 + 6 units * $510,159 + 4 units * $648,275 + 24 units * $1,268,128) / 36 total units = $1,025,292.00. Calculated weighted average EBITDAR from Chart I (Page 2): (2 units * $108,454 + 6 units * $96,330 + 4 units * $83,848 + 24 units * $356,782) / 36 total units = $269,251.33. Median gross revenue for all centers determined by finding the sales category containing the median center (18th-19th out of 36 total centers) and using its Median Net Sales from Chart II (Page 3), which is $1,616,546 (Category E). Revenue top quartile taken from 'Average Net Sales' for the 'TOP QUARTILE' in Chart II (Page 3). Revenue bottom quartile taken from 'Average Net Sales' for the 'BOTTOM QUARTILE' in Chart II (Page 4). EBITDA margin percentage calculated as weighted average EBITDAR / weighted average gross revenue = $269,251.33 / $1,420,159.11 = 0.1896. Best guess profit low/high estimated using the overall weighted average gross revenue ($1,420,159.11) and the minimum (8.8% from Category D) and maximum (20.4% from Category E) EBITDAR percentages from Chart I (Page 2) respectively. Low = $1,420,159.11 * 0.088 = $124,974.00. High = $1,420,159.11 * 0.204 = $289,712.46.
