How the Journey Began...
In 1998, Ryan Elliott, an automotive entrepreneur, recognized a major problem that used car dealers and car rental agencies were having: After paying significant amounts of money to have a car detailed, the vehicle was test driven and within a week, all the benefits of the detailing had diminished. Mr. Elliott developed a series of proprietary processes and services that not only made a car look and smell fresh but maintained that factory-new experience until the car was sold. The business quickly evolved into the successful and unique franchise that it is today. Between 1998 and 2003, AutoQual grew from a local Colorado-based company to a nationally recognized franchise with locations in 23 states across the country.

Today, AutoQual is a Leader. In December 2003, Ryan Elliot sold the company to Automotive Franchise Systems, who developed AutoQual franchises across the US and Canada. In February of 2008 Driven Brands announced the acquisition of AutoQual, along with Drive N Style. Today, the future of AutoQual looks brighter than ever.
