Speedy Auto-Service

What Speedy Auto-Service does

Speedy Auto-Service is a privately held German automotive repair and maintenance chain founded in 1976 in Hamburg by three Hamburg merchants. Operating as Speedy Auto-Service GmbH & Co KG under Geschäftsführer Axel Eggert, the company runs 8 directly-owned workshops across Northern Germany — 6 in Hamburg, 1 in Bad-Schwartau, and 1 in Kiel — with an additional 33 franchise locations in Sweden operating under the Speedy Bil Service brand in Stockholm, Malmö, Helsingborg, Lund, Västerås, and Örebro. The service portfolio spans the full lifecycle of passenger-vehicle maintenance: manufacturer-spec inspections (Inspektionen), official roadworthiness and emissions tests (HU/AU on behalf of DEKRA, TÜV-NORD, TÜV-HANSE, and GTÜ), brake service (including free brake checks), oil changes across multiple viscosity grades, 3D wheel alignment, engine diagnostics (ECU readout), AC service, tire service (partly via Quick-Reifendiscount/Goodyear partnership), auto glass repair and replacement, exhaust and catalytic converter work, clutch replacement (including DSG dual-clutch), shock absorbers, timing belt/chain replacement, and vehicle electrical diagnostics.

The technology stack is built around conventional automotive diagnostic hardware: computer-aided OBD fault-finding, Bosch diagnostic testers, Visualiner 3D axle-measurement cameras, and infrared cooling-performance testing. The firm employs first-equipment-quality (OEM) replacement parts and offers a 2-year warranty on parts. Revenue is generated entirely through transaction-based service fees with publicly disclosed per-ticket pricing (e.g., €99–€169 for oil changes, €169 for HU/AU, €49 for spring check, €49+ for ECU readout), with no subscription or contracted-revenue streams. Free services such as brake checks and AC function tests serve as customer-acquisition tools. Customers are individual private car owners (B2C), with no disclosed enterprise or fleet accounts. Customer retention is supported by the mySpeedy portal, which provides HU reminders, service records, and special offers to registered customers.
