What Auto Singer does

Auto Singer GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned, multi-brand automotive dealership and service provider founded in 1948, headquartered in Marktoberdorf, Germany, with two additional locations in Kaufbeuren and Buchloe serving the Allgäu region of Bavaria. The company operates as an authorized dealer for the full Volkswagen Group brand portfolio — Volkswagen, Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge, Audi, ŠKODA, SEAT, and CUPRA — and runs a fleet business program through a dedicated Großkunden Leistungszentrum (Key Customer Performance Center) serving commercial buyers. Core offerings span new, used, demo, and certified pre-owned vehicle sales; workshop services including maintenance, repairs, tire service, and specialized EV charging cable safety inspections (UVV-Prüfung); original parts supply via the NORA-Leistungszentrum to both retail and trade customers; and integrated financial services including financing, leasing, warranty insurance, and maintenance packages through Volkswagen Bank and Volkswagen Financial Services.

The revenue model is multi-stream and largely transactional: one-time vehicle sales form the core, supplemented by workshop transaction fees, parts transaction revenue (including B2B wholesale to independent repair shops), finance and insurance commissions, and a small but diversifying set of specialty services such as camper rental (from €66/night via myvanture.com), vintage T1 Bulli wedding bus hire, and bouncy castle rentals. Distribution is hybrid: physical dealership storefronts serve as the primary sales and service channel, complemented by an online vehicle search platform, digital service appointment booking, a fleet customer portal, and an e-commerce accessory shop (Zubehörshop). Marketing is multi-channel across the company website, Google Search/Ads, Google Business Profile reviews (583 reviews, 4.8/5 rating), Facebook plugins, and email newsletters.

The company holds the Audi Top Service Partner 2026 certification — awarded to only 100 of Audi's authorized service operations in Germany — and California Profi Partner specialization for VW California camper vans. The 101-250 employee family business is managed by Carl Clemens Singer, Carl Hans-Jörg Singer, and Bernhard Mayr, with the Singer family retaining ownership through Singer Verwaltungs GmbH as the general partner. No external investment, M&A, or funding events are disclosed.
