Autoscope

What Autoscope does

Autoscope is a family-owned independent European auto repair and service business founded in 1983, operating two physical service centers in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (White Rock/Dallas at 9796 Ferguson Rd and Plano at 601 Coit Rd). The company specializes in dealer-alternative maintenance, diagnostics, and repair for luxury European vehicles across nine marques: Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Mini Cooper, and Rolls-Royce. Service offerings span core maintenance (oil changes, brakes, transmission, A/C, cooling, electrical, suspension), brand-specific specialty service pages, a BMW Performance Shop with G.I.A.C. and Dinan tuning, 125-point pre-purchase inspections, and tire sales/installations via a Tire Rack authorized dealer relationship. All labor carries a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

The underlying technical platform is built around factory-grade European diagnostic equipment, in-house True-Software-Upgrade ECU programming capability, and Hunter alignment systems that the company states match dealer-level tooling. Technicians are factory-trained and certified across European marques, and the business has been passed through two generations of the founding family. Autoscope operates a transaction-based revenue model with quote-based pricing, online appointment scheduling, and 1,500+ verified Google reviews across both locations as the primary reputation asset. Distribution is purely direct-to-consumer through the two physical bays plus phone/online booking, with marketing concentrated in local SEO, Google reviews, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X), and an educational blog covering European vehicle maintenance topics.

The business has no institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public listing. President Nerces Mavelian leads a stated team of approximately 17 named staff. The company has earned regional recognition including Google Top Rated 2024 (Plano) and Carfax Top Rated Shop (White Rock). Revenue, financials, and detailed headcount are not publicly disclosed.
