Certigard Announces Expansion Plans

Certigard, Petro-Canada’s automotive repair franchise, has announced plans to expand it’s network through selective solicitation of independent repair shops.

“The opportunity to grow our network through existing independent repair shops (without gasoline) is a new phase in our development. this is the logical evolution for the success of the Certigard franchise” says Certigard’s John Watt.

Certigard plans to build on the current 125-plus franchise base with a free evaluation of interested independent shops. Certigard franchise benefits include site specific customer attraction research and customer retention techniques, qualified field personnel who provide on-going support for business enhancement and access to Certigard’s technician and service advisor recruiting program. Certigard also offers an equipment needs assessment and participation by Petro-Canada in shop equipment purchase as well as automated systems including bay management.
