Autoshine: from chef to car wash franchisee

Brisbane CBD has a new waterless car detailing service, thanks to local businessman, Antony Bolton. In his Autoshine franchise Bolton will be offering a car detailing service and distributing waterless car wash products.

Bolton is excited about the opportunity to run his own business with the support of the Autoshine franchise team.

“As a chef, I was working 70 hours a week and not getting rewarded,” he explained. “After seeing the results for myself, I couldn’t believe how quickly the job can be done, especially on black cars.”

Bolton left school at 16 and became an apprentice chef in the UK. Since moving to Australia in 2005 he continued his apprenticeship but felt unrewarded in the career.

He began car detailing on his own but felt the power of a national brand was what he needed to move his business further. His partner Sarah will assist him in the business looking after basic business management and later the franchise expansion.
