Lafayette, Louisiana
YOUR NEXT CHAPTER COULD BEGIN IN LAFAYETTE.
More than a decade of Lafayette history. An existing franchise presence. A second location ready for its next owner.
This isn't a market we're just discovering. We've been part of Lafayette for more than 12 years.
Chapter 1 — Where It Started
BEFORE THERE WERE TWO LAFAYETTE LOCATIONS, THERE WAS A BEGINNING.
Louisiana became the first state in our franchise expansion story. Lafayette developed into an important BFL market — one we've served for more than 12 years. The Pinhook Road location was where that story took root.
The Lafayette Story
SIX CHAPTERS. ONE MARKET.
Brakes For Less establishes roots in Lafayette
Louisiana becomes the first state in our franchise expansion story. Lafayette is where it begins.
More than 12 years serving the market
Over a decade of building trust, reputation, and relationships in the Lafayette community.
Pinhook becomes a franchise
An entrepreneur joins the BFL family and takes ownership of the Pinhook Road location — proof that franchising in Lafayette works.
The Lafayette footprint expands
Confident in the market, BFL opens a second Lafayette location on Guilbeau Road.
Guilbeau becomes part of the community
Community events. Food Truck Fridays. Hundreds of ordinary days of cars in bays and customers through the door.
The next owner enters the story
Guilbeau Road is the current franchise opportunity. The next chapter hasn't been written yet.

MAYBE YOU'RE IN IT.
Two Lafayette Locations
ONE MARKET. AN EXISTING FRANCHISE. A NEW OPPORTUNITY.
One entrepreneur already made Lafayette part of his story. Now another has the opportunity to do the same.
1351 W. PINHOOK ROAD
AN ESTABLISHED FRANCHISE ALREADY CALLS LAFAYETTE HOME.
1351 W. Pinhook Road represents an established chapter of our Lafayette story. After years of Brakes For Less serving the market, Pinhook became an independently operated franchise and continues operating today.

AND THEN WE EXPANDED.
Our belief in the Lafayette market led us to grow beyond one location. That expansion brought us to Guilbeau Road — the location now available to our next franchise owner.

Chapter 5 — Part of the Community
SOMETIMES THE BAYS HOLD CARS.
SOMETIMES THEY HOLD A COMMUNITY.
In October 2025, the Guilbeau Road location hosted a Trunk or Treat event that drew nearly 1,000 people from the Lafayette community. The team later thanked Lafayette for showing up and showing out.

LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESS.
The Guilbeau team partnered with a local food truck to bring activity to the property every Friday — the kind of grassroots community marketing an owner can build around the business.

THIS IS THE BUSINESS YOU'RE STEPPING INTO.
A real location. A real history. A real connection to Lafayette. And an opportunity to decide what comes next.
The Operating Model
MORE THAN BRAKES.
Brakes built the name. Complete automotive care expanded what the business could become.
Chapter 6 — Built for Lafayette
THERE'S ONLY ONE LAFAYETTE.
Lafayette isn't New Orleans. It's the capital of Acadiana — a region with its own language, its own food, its own music, and its own identity. The city of more than 270,000 people sits at the crossroads of I-10 and US-90, anchored by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a thriving healthcare sector, and one of the most distinctive cultural identities in the American South. People here are proud of where they live. And they support local businesses that become part of the community.
