How we computed this
Every number above is extracted from the franchisor's own FDD: investment from Item 7, franchise fee from Item 5, royalty and ad fund from Item 6, units from Item 20, financial performance from Item 19. The industry median is the 50th percentile across all other Automotive franchises in the database — outliers don't distort it. The "vs Industry" delta uses lower-is-better for fees and investment (less you pay, better for you) and higher-is-better for unit count (larger network = more brand-recognition leverage).
