Autohaus Senker

What Autohaus Senker does

Autohaus Senker GmbH is a family-owned Austrian automotive retail group operating under the Senker Group umbrella, which comprises Autohaus Senker GmbH and the 2019-acquired Autohaus Pruckner GmbH. Founded in 1950 as a general KFZ repair workshop in Amstetten and incorporated as a GmbH in 1991, the company operates seven physical locations across the Mostviertel region of western Lower Austria — Amstetten-Neufurth (headquarters), Ybbs, Melk, Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Haag, Wieselburg, and Scheibbs — supported by 390 employees. It represents the full Volkswagen Group brand portfolio (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Škoda, CUPRA, Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge) plus the Das WeltAuto certified pre-owned program, and serves both individual consumers and business/fleet customers ranging from small tradespeople to large corporations.

The group's offering combines new and used vehicle sales, integrated financing via Porsche Bank, insurance via Volkswagen Versicherungsdienst, full workshop and accident-repair services, an annual TopCard prepaid service subscription (€125/year), a 1,200+-set tire hotel, in-house vehicle registration at multiple locations, 24/7 roadside assistance, and a flexible Auto-Abo car-subscription product. Underlying technology is anchored in the Porsche Informatik digital ecosystem: the carlog customer portal (mobile app and web), online Werkstatt Termin booking with preferred-advisor and loaner-vehicle selection, brand configurators, and the Das WeltAuto marketplace. Distribution is exclusively physical retail complemented by these digital self-serve tools; no third-party resellers or external marketplaces are used for new-vehicle transactions.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across one-time new/used vehicle sales, financing and insurance commissions, recurring workshop and TopCard service revenue, parts and accessories, and the newer Auto-Abo subscription stream. Go-to-market is sales-led through brand-certified showroom consultants and dedicated enterprise/fleet account managers, with the carlog portal and online booking driving post-sale retention. Ownership remains with the founding Senker family (Mag. Dr Gertraud Senker and KR Ilse Senker as owners), with Ing. Harald Heiss, MBA as Managing Director, and the company has been recognized as Audi Top Service Betrieb 2026 by Audi AG and Porsche Austria.
