Business within a business

[David Henson]

Has anyone heard of or had experience with TransDrive Dealer Transmission Centers, Inc. out of Indiana? They are selling franchises to dealerships and tout $30,000+ profit centers. All work is to be done with existing facilities but you have to purchase tools and parts through them. As I understand, the dealership also has to administer any part warranty coverage. I am curious as to how the manufacturers might view this business within a business.
