All Tune and Lube franchise in South Carolina: what the public record shows
Franchisees of All Tune and Lube in South Carolina have taken 10 SBA loans since 1991 (average $140,370)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 42.3% is the better guide.
