Auto Select franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
We do not publish an earnings answer for Auto Select. Item 19 — the section where a franchisor may disclose unit revenue — could not be read reliably out of this particular filing, and "this brand publishes no earnings figures" is a claim about the franchisor that we are not willing to make on a failed parse. Item 19 of the source FDD is the place to check. Either way, no FDD discloses profit: any "Auto Select franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere is someone's estimate. The fees, litigation and outlet churn Auto Select's FDD does contain are on this page, and the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Auto Select lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Auto Select's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 1 legal proceeding in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Auto Select itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 1 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Auto Select closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Auto Select will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Auto Select's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a automotive of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Auto Select's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Auto Select?
Auto Select's franchise is offered by Auto Select, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Anyone weighing Auto Select is really weighing it against the other brands their money could go into. These are the closest by total initial investment (FDD Item 7), each with its own FDD-based page.
Auto Select franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Auto Select — who is the franchisor?
Auto Select's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Auto Select, Inc. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Auto Select franchise cost?
Auto Select's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $117,900 – $174,200, with an initial franchise fee of $2,500 and a 5% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against automotive peers it sits in the top quartile (median $432,600).
How much profit does a Auto Select franchise make?
No FDD discloses profit — it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate, so any Auto Select profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate. On revenue we do not have an answer for Auto Select: Item 19 could not be read reliably from this filing, so we do not publish one either way. Item 19 of the source FDD is the place to check.
Does Auto Select disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
We do not publish an answer for Auto Select. Item 19 could not be read reliably out of this particular filing, and we would rather say so than assert that a franchisor publishes no earnings figures when we have not verified it. Item 19 of the source FDD is the place to check.
Are there lawsuits against Auto Select?
Auto Select's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses 1 legal proceeding in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Auto Select itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing. 1 of the disclosed proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor.
Is Auto Select a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Auto Select's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against automotive peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
