What Durlacher does

Durlacher, trading as Carstop Durlacher, is an Austrian sole proprietorship operated by founder Peter Durlacher from a single site at Pischelsdorf 55 in Styria. The business operates an integrated multi-service automotive and lifestyle station combining a 24/7 automated fuel dispenser (with key-card cashless payment), a full-service automotive workshop offering repairs and the mandatory §57a vehicle inspection (Pickerl), a self-service car wash with osmosis water technology, a bicycle and moped shop with e-bike rental and free safety checks, a small café serving snacks and coffee, an automated farm shop vending regional produce, and a retail shop selling car care products, tools, and lubricants.

The technical footprint is modest and operationally focused rather than technology-led: it centers on shared site infrastructure (key-card payment terminals, osmosis-based wash bays, vacuum cleaners, vending-style farm shop), basic e-commerce via a webshop with payment processing outsourced to HOBEX, and a marketing website built by external IT partner eWay. Personal data handling is GDPR-compliant, with no in-house storage of credit card data.

Revenue is generated transactionally across each sub-unit: fuel margins, workshop labor and parts, car wash cycles, bicycle/moped sales and service, café items, farm shop vending, and accessory retail. The customer base consists of local motorists, cyclists, and community members in the Pischelsdorf catchment, served almost entirely through physical walk-in traffic during operating hours supplemented by 24/7 automated fuel access.
