Garage franchise in Asturias
Opening a franchised garage in Asturias? Look at the market before the fee: 523,414 registered cars and 1,703 sales and repair businesses, or 307 cars per business (the Spanish average is 285).
Which garage franchise to open in Asturias?
Asturias sits at the Spanish average for cars per workshop, so the decision depends more on location than on the province. With a running workshop in or around Gijón, conversion is cheapest; starting from scratch, prioritise customer acquisition over the entry fee. An older-than-average fleet guarantees maintenance and repair work.
Investment, entry fee and royalty for the eleven brands are the same across Spain, so we do not repeat them for every province: they are in the full garage franchise comparison. What changes from Asturias to another province is the market, and that is what we analyse here.
The garage market in Asturias, in figures
Asturias revolves around the central triangle of Gijón, Oviedo and Avilés, linked by a motorway network that carries much of the population every day. The mining valleys and the rural west complete a steep, damp territory, two factors that show in the wear of brakes, suspensions and underbodies.
The province has 78 municipalities, and its main town, Gijón, accounts for 27% of residents. Among the 50 provinces, Asturias ranks 35 for cars per inhabitant, 11 for cars per sector business and 24 for the share of cars with no environmental label.
Each sales and repair business in Asturias has on average 307 cars around it, 8% more than the national average: the market is not saturated. The fleet is old: 26.9% of cars carry no environmental label (Spanish average: 22.7%), and older cars visit the workshop more often. Electrification is slower than in the rest of the country (5.9% ZERO or ECO cars versus 8.4%): most work will remain combustion for years, though early hybrid specialists will face little competition. Diesel is heavily represented (57.2% of cars versus 51.1% nationally): injection, particulate filters and EGR will remain routine work.

The Dasercars territory in Asturias: exclusivity for 1-2 workshops
Dasercars, this site's featured brand, caps its network at one or two workshops per province with contractual exclusivity, so Asturias has room for one or two at most.
In Asturias, 5.9% of cars carry a ZERO or ECO label (Spanish average: 8.4%) and 0.9% are electric or plug-in hybrids with a ZERO label, according to the DGT. High-voltage demand will arrive later than elsewhere, and whoever trains first will have it almost to themselves.
