Own the most accredited European workshop in your suburb.
StarTech Prestige is a proven, RACV-Approved & VACC A-Grade European car workshop — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi & VW done at dealer level, without dealer pricing. Now opening to franchise partners across Victoria.
Why a StarTech Prestige franchise makes sense
European cars are everywhere — and their owners want specialist care they can trust. This is a business with built-in, repeat demand.
A growing European car parc
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and VW numbers keep climbing on Australian roads — every one needs specialist servicing for years.
Dealer-level, not dealer pricing
Owners are tired of dealer wait times and prices. An independent specialist that does it properly wins them for life.
Recurring servicing revenue
Logbook servicing, roadworthies, brakes and repairs are scheduled, repeat work — predictable revenue, not one-off jobs.
An accreditation moat
RACV Approved + VACC A-Grade + ARCtick is a trust stack most local rivals simply can’t match.
A model that already works
Accredited European specialist
RACV + VACC A-Grade + ARCtick, with dealer-level STAR / ISTA / VAG diagnostics — the credibility customers look for.
Systemised online bookings
A native booking system that takes bookings 24/7 straight into the workshop diary — no phone tag, no lost jobs.
CRM & automation
Customer records, reminders and follow-ups handled automatically, so cars come back when they are due.
A local-marketing engine
Local SEO, Google Ads and SMS that already rank and convert in Cranbourne West — replicated for your territory.
