The nationwide car service chain plans to open 14 more Supercentres during the next two years having launched three in the past ten months
in Hemel Hempstead, in Hertfordshire, Acton in west London and Canterbury in Kent.
The Supercentres offer a wider range of services than the other branches in its 40-strong network.
Mr Clutch founder Joseph Yussuf, who is chairman and chief executive of the business's holding company CI Holdings, said: “We have extended our offering to include MoTs, vehicle servicing, batteries and exhausts.
“This complements our specialist clutch, brake and gearbox repair and replacement services and will enable us to more effectively meet customer demands.”
He added that the Supercentre model would increase the volume of vehicles being handled by the sites, thus “increasing profitability for franchisees”.
As part of the expansion programme Mr Clutch Autocentres in Reading, Southend, Norwich, Portsmouth and Swindon have moved to bigger sites – increasing capacity to accommodate the new services.
The Croydon, Maidstone and Strood branches have been refurbished to carry out MoTs and also now operate as Supercentres.
Mr Clutch claimed that since being converted, each Supercentre had grown bottom line profitability by 30 per cent on average.
Yussuf said he was currently interviewing potential new franchisees, who would be “integral” to the success of the business, and was searching for prospective sites across the UK.
“The new model is designed to be flexible and automotive experience is not a pre-requisite,” he said.
“We're more interested in people with good organisational, management and people skills.”
Yussuf claimed expertise provided by Mr Clutch would enable franchisees to build strong customer relations and “make a healthy profit within six to nine months”.
Yussuf set up Mr Clutch in 1979 with the first site opening in Bow, east London.
There are now 18 centres managed centrally by Mr Clutch and a further 22 branches which operate as franchises.
The group employs 400 staff and has an annual turnover of £18m.
