Frequently Asked Questions
Is Carquest growing or shrinking?
Carquest doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2023 and FY2024 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #50 of 125 Automotive Services brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Carquest franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $692K (53% above the typical Automotive Services brand's $453K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Carquest?
Carquest only has 6 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Automotive Services brands overall see a 1.5% charge-off rate across 1,424 loans.
