Industry:         automotive clutch repair

    Company description: Mr. Clutch USA Inc., a nationwide licensor of clutch repair services, was founded in May 1991 by George and Norma Earl. The company licenses its trademark name and logos to existing "mom and pop" auto repair shops for an annual licensee fee of $1,175 and weekly fee of $275.
    In exchange, the company provides Yellow Page ads, plus billboard, radio and television advertising. The licensing arrangement lends the company's nationally known image to its dealers, so the small shops can compete with large franchised chains in the auto repair business.
    Currently, Mr. Clutch has 55 licensee service dealers in 19 major cities in 11 states. They include Portland, Ore.; Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma, Wash.; Las Vegas; Boise, Idaho; Denver; Albuquerque, N.M.; Salt Lake City; El Paso, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Ft. Worth, Texas; Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Omaha, Neb.; Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn.
    Over the next four years, the rapidly growing company plans to expand to as many as 1,300 service dealerships. Mr. Clutch USA is headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz. For more information call George Earl at 480/563-7970, or visit the Web site at www.mrclutchusa.com.
