Sjekkpunkt

What Sjekkpunkt does

SjekkPunkt Norge AS, founded in 2014 and headquartered at Rødmyrlia 10, 3735 Skien, Norway, operates Norway's largest Norwegian-owned car workshop chain through approximately 260 independently-owned member workshops distributed across all major counties. The chain's core offering consists of three regulated and standardized services delivered at every member location: EU-kontroll (periodic vehicle inspection performed under Statens vegvesen approval), bilservice (manufacturer-compliant maintenance using original or equivalent-quality parts to preserve new-vehicle warranty), and dekkskift (tire change with included tire inspection). Member workshops are independent businesses that voluntarily adopt the SjekkPunkt brand in exchange for centralized support (training, technical expertise, marketing, and shared digital systems).

The chain operates three notable digital and financial product layers on top of the workshop network. The Digital Servicebook is a white-labeled mobile app (iOS/Android) that consolidates complete vehicle service history across all workshops, free to consumers and positioning SjekkPunkt as the system of record for the vehicle lifecycle. The SjekkPunkt-konto is a branded consumer credit product offered in partnership with Resurs Bank, providing up to 40,000 NOK with 30-60 days interest-free or installment plans up to 60 months, enabling higher ticket sizes at member workshops. A member portal (medlem.sjekkpunkt.no) handles appointment booking and EU-control reminder workflows. Technology assets are modest: there are no proprietary automotive technologies, APIs, or AI capabilities described; the chain functions as a service-brand/franchise network rather than a technology company.

The business model rests on a hybrid structure. The central HQ entity (1-10 employees) collects brand/membership contributions from the 260 member workshops, earns referral economics from the Resurs Bank credit partnership, and provides marketing and training services. End-customer revenue (per-service fees for EU inspections, oil changes, brake repairs, AC service, bodywork, diagnostics) is collected at the individual workshop level rather than consolidated into the parent. The customer base is almost exclusively B2C (individual Norwegian car owners), with limited exposure to fleet/leasing channels (one observed Ayvens-approved member workshop). Pricing is per job and not publicly disclosed; the credit facility adds a deferred-payment option that nudges higher-ticket service utilization. Geographic reach is Norway-only with no evidence of cross-border expansion, and no external investors, parent entities, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Vehicle repair and maintenance services: Each SjekkPunkt workshop generates revenue through service and repair fees for vehicles including EU inspections, oil changes, tire changes, brake repairs, AC service, and general maintenance. Fees are charged per service/job, typical of independent auto repair shops.
2. SjekkPunkt Account (credit/financing): SjekkPunkt offers a credit account in partnership with Resurs Bank. Customers can pay for services over time (30-60 days interest-free, or installment plans 4-60 months). The chain earns from the financing arrangement and potentially referral fees.
