Speedee Oil Change & Tune-Up franchise in North Carolina: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Speedee Oil Change & Tune-Up in North Carolina have taken 10 SBA loans since 1991 (average $350,300)— 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 21.8% is the better guide.
