What CarXpert does

CarXpert operates a franchise network of more than 60 independent automotive garage businesses across the Netherlands, delivering brand-agnostic maintenance, repair, and inspection services for all vehicle makes and models. The network is governed by Nexus Garage Nederland B.V., which sits within AllParts Nederland and the broader Nexus Automotive Nederland B.V. cooperative. Workshops use modern multi-brand diagnostic equipment covering EOBD, Motormanagement, ABS, and airbag systems, with select locations additionally certified under NEN 9140 for high-voltage EV and hybrid service work. The service portfolio spans APK periodic vehicle inspections, mechanical and electrical repairs, diagnostics, tire and brake service, air conditioning, wheel alignment, glass and collision repair, transmission flushing, seasonal checks, battery service, and pre-purchase inspections, all performed under conditions that preserve the vehicle's factory warranty.

The business model combines independent entrepreneurship with central brand, training, parts procurement, and marketing support. Franchisees earn revenue from transaction-based labour and parts markup on workshop services, while CarXpert itself monetizes the network through franchise relationships and ecosystem partnerships. Three specialized sub-brands extend the offering: ev-pro (EV and hybrid service), lease-pro (Keurmerk Private Lease in partnership with Santander Leasing B.V.), and MobiliteitService (a 24/7 roadside assistance subscription covering 44 European countries). Customers reach the network through a website store locator, online appointment booking, walk-in visits, and an online used-car showroom with vehicles priced from under €1,000 to over €37,000.

Primary customers are Dutch private car owners (B2C) seeking trustworthy, geographically convenient automotive service, with a secondary segment of business and fleet operators requiring multi-location maintenance support. Pricing is quote-based and communicated in advance to avoid surprises; APK inspection pricing varies by fuel type, with diesel inspections higher than petrol/electric and bundled service-and-APK packages common. The company holds no patents, runs no disclosed app, and operates with no public revenue, headcount, or funding data, leaving the financial profile of both the central organization and the franchise network largely opaque to external observers.
