What Autolevy does

Autolevy (legal entity: AUTO LEVY GmbH) is a privately held, family-managed authorized Toyota and Lexus car dealership group headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany. Founded in 1972 and led by three managing directors (Frank Levy, Patric Levy, and Ralf Bohne), the company operates nine physical dealership locations across the greater Düsseldorf/Cologne metropolitan region in North Rhine-Westphalia, including Düsseldorf (two sites), Köln, Frechen, Euskirchen, Neuss, Mönchengladbach, Aachen, and Dormagen. Its inventory exceeds 978 vehicles spanning new, used, and short-term registered cars (Tageszulassung/Kurzzulassung) across Toyota, Lexus, and approximately 26 additional used vehicle brands.

The company's product portfolio spans the full Toyota powertrain range (gasoline, hybrid, and battery-electric models including bZ4X, bZ4X Touring, Urban Cruiser, C-HR+, Proace Verso Electric) and the full Lexus luxury lineup (NX, RX, UX, LBX, ES, LS, RZ). Supporting this vehicle sales core are in-house and partner-bank financing arrangements (3.92%–7.71% APR), the KINTO Auto Abo subscription service via KINTO Europe, and three proprietary extended warranty programs (Levy New Deal, Levy Mega Deal, Levy Big Deal) offering up to 15 years of coverage plus complimentary inspections. Workshop operations cover scheduled maintenance, repairs, parts, accessories, and emergency roadside service.

Revenue is generated through one-time vehicle sales, financing commissions, warranty/subscription programs, and service contracts, distributed across private retail customers (primary) and corporate/fleet customers (secondary). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via physical showrooms, phone sales, and a website (autolevy.de) built on the third-party DealerK/MotorK platform that provides vehicle configurator, inventory search, financing calculator, and online service booking. There is no proprietary technology, no disclosed app, no API, and no online-direct vehicle sales model. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
