The Theatre of Detailing Has Arrived: A South African First.
SafeTouch is a high-performance automotive detailing franchise built for serious entrepreneurs ready to dominate a booming market. We deliver a complete business-in-a-box anchored by our signature, fully equipped road-ready trailer capsule and backed by exclusive protected territories. Powered by an advanced proprietary booking platform and a clinically documented, FASA-compliant operating blueprint, SafeTouch provides the ultimate foundation for immediate scale and rapid profitability.
The consumables, chemistry and equipment that produce a SafeTouch finish are proprietary and supplied through us. A competitor can watch you work all day and still not buy what you use. You're not reselling products available at any retailer, you're using exclusive tailor-made products delivering a result that cannot be sourced elsewhere.
The Operations & Procedures Manual turns "how a good detailer works on a good day" into a fixed, repeatable standard. The proprietary Clinical Protocols run exactly the same nationally, and protect you the day your best staff member doesn't show up.
Every job is captured: a series of pre-inspection photographs, a full video audit, and a digital sign-off for you to keep.
All franchisees are trained to the highest industry standards via a strategic association with Auto Stylers Academy, under the watchful eye of Mitch Voges. “Knowledge Builds Confidence.”
The SafeTouch brand is built on excellence. Every aspect of the SafeTouch business is tried and tested: systems, staffing, training, execution, equipment and of course franchisee selection. Not just anyone can become a SafeTouch franchisee.
The proprietary SafeTouch app forms the essential link in all aspects of bookings, operations and payments. This is designed to enhance the customer experience and declutter all processes.
And just as importantly, an unforgettable customer experience

Every franchise operates inside a Demarcated Area of Work (DAW), an exclusive territory designed for high client density and minimal travel time, so your working hours go into billable details, not driving. Inside your DAW, you are the only SafeTouch.
There is no ceiling on what you build. Start as a single owner-operator unit, then add vehicles and teams as demand grows. The territory protects you; your ambition decides how far it scales.
A franchise lives or dies on credibility. We've structured SafeTouch to be transparent from the first conversation.
Honesty cuts both ways. SafeTouch is not passive income, and it is not for everyone. Before you go further, read this plainly.
We look forward to hearing from you.
You will require at least R350,000 start-up capital. In addition to this, you will need another 3 months' survival buffer while your business establishes itself.
No. You will be required to possess certain attributes in respect of work ethic, punctuality and the ability to absorb and apply the training received. This is compulsory. The training will equip you in every respect.
Absolutely yes. Each franchise operates inside a Demarcated Area of Work (DAW) where you are the only SafeTouch. Territories are designed for client density and minimal travel time.
You will require a vehicle with a towbar. Your vehicle will have to be presentable, roadworthy and in good running order. You will not require a specific purpose vehicle.
Returns are never guaranteed, but we will remove every obstacle to your success and will be actively involved in the marketing of your business. You will, however, be required to participate in the success of your business through local marketing initiatives.
Like any business, we strive to protect our intellectual property. To that end, you will be required to sign a non-disclosure and non-circumvention agreement before we enter into any meaningful discussions.
