1-800-Radiator Franchise Opportunity Review
How is the Industry? NOT BAD
-Franchise category: Auto Products / Services
-Franchising since: 1986
-Franchised units: 60
-Provides financing: Yes
-Investment: $50,000 - $100,000
The 1-800-radiator Franchise Opportunity is met with little direct competition. Of course, the big auto parts chains (including Walmart) are considered competition, but they do not specialize.
1-800-radiator is a specialization franchise.
One thing I really like about the 1-800-radiator franchise opportunity is that they will buy back your inventory if you are unsuccessful after the first year. This is a rare thing indeed. Additionally, many of the current locations are doing $1 Million in gross revenues per year, and newbies are making upwards of $50K per month.
1-800-radiator: Inside
As a specialization franchise, 1-800-radiator is able to focus on support a lot more than companies that offer general products and services.
They have an excellent support team, with "techies" that know the industry, have marketing down to a science, and know how to use the internet and other technology to your advantage and success.

- 800-RADIATOR Franchising Fails to Renew Its Franchise Registrations
Posted Thu, 2010/06/03 - 16:25 by RichardSolomon
1-800-RADIATOR FRANCHISING, following the recent establishment of a hotly resisted independent franchisee association, has failed to renew its franchise registrations in the registration states. Its registrations have all lapsed. The company is on a December 31st accounting year, and will not likely be able to renew based upon its year end financial statements.
Footnotes in its previous financial statements indicate that its parent company, RADIATOR EXPRESS, takes out a fee in the amount of between $ 11 and $ 12 Million a year to compensate itself for providing the support for all franchise operations.
Counsel for the RADIATOR FRANCHISEE ASSOCIATION, INC., questions whether this indicates that the franchise company is being used as a front for the parent company and that it is the parent company that is the real franchisor. If that is the case, the parent company's certified financial statements may have been improperly excluded from all the franchise disclosure filings made by this franchise organization to date.
Reasons given by the company, per Joe Rippey, its president, having to do with inconvenience are being challenged by the franchisee association's Counsel and Managing Director, Richard A Solomon

- Based upon reports from the Radiator Franchisee Association by RichardSolomon
Submitted by RichardSolomon on Wed, 2010/06/09 - 05:35. Membership, the next Association Bulletin is likely to be about wire fraud and how to deal with it, including something I almost never suggest - involving the FBI.
The arrogance of this franchisor's agenda regarding the withdrawal of funds from the bank accounts of franchisees and refusing to credit back when more money is taken out than the franchisor could ever be entitled to take leaves no room for doubt what needs to be done.
This is the kind of stuff the RICO statute was enacted for.
The litany of aggressive and arbitrary predations, when coupled with the attrition rate of franchisees and the financial condition of so many of those who are still standing fit perfectly into the end stage pattern of the dying franchisor.
Their claim to be about to renew their franchise registrations is eagerly awaited. Will the parent company keep using the subsidiary as the "front" frachisor to conceal its own financials from disclosure, even though the footnotes to the financial statement clearly show who the real franchisor is? And if they did put the parent's financials into the FDD, how could they get a CPA firm to certify it as a going concern?
This would be a good soap box TV series with some sex and drugs thrown into the mix.
