0800 2 FIX IT is a unique branded trade services franchise that offers both businesses an householders a range of trade services to meet their needs.

0800 2 Fix It was formed in 1999 by the then franchisor Ben & Nicki Ridler as a result of restructuring of a company called Resin Bond Limited. The core business of Resin Bond Limited was the repair of motor vehicle windscreens.

The restructuring of the company included several key changes;

This change to a franchise system has proved to be a winner, with franchisees of a high calibre buying franchise territories and good projected growth in turnover being exceeded.

In January 2010 Grant Allan and Brent Tinsley bought the business. A new company 0800 2 Fix It (2010) Limited was formed. With more than twenty years combined experience as either business owners or managers, our objectives are to expand the franchisee network further in New Zealand and refine the franchise system further to include other complementary products and services to increase both franchisee and franchisor sales and profit.

The 0800 2 Fix It franchise system has been developed using considerable research, trial and error and the implementation of specially devised methods.

The real success of 0800 2 Fix It is primarily due to its commitment to outstanding service to its customers. The exclusive and unique franchise system, developed by 0800 2 Fix It, caters for the needs of these people and provides an exciting business opportunity for franchisees wishing to succeed and achieve financial independence.

0800 2 FIX IT is well positioned to take advantage of future business trends. Added to this we are continually evaluating new and complementary services we can add to the existing services. This provides considerable opportunities for our franchisees.

0800 2 Fix It has expanded to other franchised services such as automotive mobile mechanic, plumbing and electrical and are looking to add others over time.

This provides an opportunity for customers to contact one number for a range of trade services and our franchisees can help be part of a total trade service package
