Franchise Spotlight: Bumper Man

Bumper Man is a mobile automotive bumper repair franchise serving dealerships, rental car companies, and fleet operators across the country. Operating since 1993, the brand specializes in on-site repair of dents and damage to bumpers and exterior surfaces, using proprietary tools and techniques. Franchisees work directly from an equipped service vehicle, delivering convenient, cost-effective repairs without the overhead of a traditional storefront.

Company Profile

Founded
Mesquite, Texas, USA
Franchise Launched
2000
Concept
Mobile B2B and B2C automotive franchise focused on on-site bumper and exterior repair, serving dealerships, rental fleets, and individual vehicle owners within an exclusive territory.
Service Model
On-site repair service conducted from an equipped pickup truck. Franchisees travel directly to the customer's location, dealerships, rental car facilities, and fleet operators, within an exclusive designated territory.

What They Do:

Bumper Man repairs bent, twisted, and dented plastic and metal bumpers on cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs, performed on-site rather than at a fixed shop. The franchise doesn't stock new bumpers or do re-chroming. It specializes in cosmetic dent and damage repair using proprietary tools and techniques.

Why we like it:

Bumper Man has been in business since 1993, one of the longer-running names in the mobile auto repair space. The model carries no retail buildout cost since the entire business runs out of a truck, and the franchisor handles invoicing and collections on the franchisee's behalf. The tradeoff is a 25% continuing service fee, notably higher than the 5-8% royalty typical of most service franchises, but it reflects that added back-office support.

Behind the numbers:

  • No Closures Outpacing Growth Since 2023: Bumper Man grew from 132 total outlets in 2023 to 141 by end of 2025, a net gain of 8 units in 2025 alone, with terminations and non-renewals staying minimal across the three-year window.
  • Nearly All Franchisee-Owned, One Company Location: Of the 141 total outlets at the end of 2025, 140 are franchisee-owned and just 1 is company-owned, in Dallas, Texas, indicating a franchise model the company itself trusts operators to run independently.
  • No Item 19 Earnings Disclosure: Bumper Man does not provide any financial performance representations in Item 19 of its FDD, leaving prospective franchisees to rely on Item 7 investment figures and their own due diligence rather than disclosed unit revenue data.

Support Structure

Before opening, Bumper Man provides a designated protected territory, loaned tools and equipment including an iPad and printer for invoicing, hands-on training in proprietary bumper repair techniques, and three days of on-site help marketing to local dealerships. Once open, franchisees get ongoing training as needed, operational guidance, optional seminars, performance evaluations, and invoice processing, billing, and collections handled directly by the franchisor. There is currently no advertising fund requirement, though the franchisor reserves the right to establish one in the future.
