Abstract:

Robert B. Albert worked twenty-five years with J.C. Penney, then decided he wanted to be his own boss. Precision Tune, founded in 1975, seemed the right fit for him. He opened his first center in Raleigh in 1979 and is the sub-franchisor for all of North Carolina east of Asheville. He and his son-in-law currently own sixteen centers with combined sales of over $11 million.
