Speedy Lube Automotive Service & Tune-Up

What Speedy Lube Automotive Service & Tune-Up does

Speedy Lube Automotive Service & Tune-Up is a family-owned independent automotive service centre established in April 1987 and operating a single workshop at 25 Park Avenue in the Coffs Harbour CBD, New South Wales. The business serves individual vehicle owners, fleet operators, and new-car warranty customers across the Mid North Coast, providing scheduled servicing (Major Service, Minor Service, oil change), mechanical repairs, accredited air conditioning service, registration E-Safety checks, new vehicle log book servicing, written pre-purchase inspections, and preventative maintenance for cars, SUVs, AWDs, 4WDs, and light commercial vehicles. Operations run Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, with 6 employees and no disclosed headcount growth, multi-site footprint, or institutional capital.

The service platform is built around modern diagnostic equipment — engine analysers, exhaust gas analysers, computer scan tools, automotive software, and technical manuals — operated by licensed, accredited technicians with air conditioning licence AU50535. Differentiated offerings include ACCC-approved independent servicing that preserves new-car warranties without dealer pricing, a stated no-upselling policy, a 12-month/20,000 km written warranty on work and parts, and complimentary six-month 24/7 roadside assistance bundled through a Club Evolution partnership. Fleet customers additionally receive vehicle history records, service and registration reminders, and 7-/30-day account billing.

Revenue is generated entirely through transactional service fees, fixed-price registration inspections set by Roads & Maritime Services, and quote-based mechanical work authorised by customers. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-ins, phone (02 6651 2683), and a 24/7 online booking form, supplemented by local SEO, Facebook presence, and word-of-mouth referrals. There is no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or expansion history beyond the 2000 relocation to the current purpose-built facility, and QBE Insurance green slip processing is integrated into the registration workflow as a value-add rather than a paid channel.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Club Evolution Roadside: Australian roadside assistance provider that Speedy Lube partners with to offer complimentary 6-month breakdown cover. Relevant as an ecosystem partner and competitive channel for breakdown-related service revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Ultra Tune Australia: Australian franchise network of automotive service centres offering log book servicing, mechanical repairs, and fleet maintenance. Operates as a multi-location brand, while Speedy Lube is a single independent site; comparable on services and target customer.
• Repco Authorised Service: Network of independent Australian mechanics authorised under the Repco brand, providing log book servicing, mechanical repairs, and diagnostics. Direct competitor model for independent workshops that Speedy Lube also operates.
• Bridgestone Select: National Australian service network offering tyres, alignments, log book servicing, and mechanical repairs. Overlaps with Speedy Lube on general servicing and preventative maintenance.
• Midas Australia: Australian franchise chain focused on brakes, suspension, and exhaust services. Comparable target customer and service mix to Speedy Lube's brakes/suspension offering, though narrower product scope.
• Kmart Tyre & Auto (mycar): National Australian automotive service chain offering servicing, brakes, suspension, and registration inspections. Comparable to Speedy Lube across the same core service categories but operates at much larger scale with national footprint.

Regional players

• JAX Tyres & Auto: Australian franchise network with outlets on the NSW Mid North Coast offering tyres, servicing, and mechanical repairs. Direct competitor in Speedy Lube's geographic catchment for general servicing and tyre work.
• Bob Jane T-Marts: Australian tyre and auto service retailer with locations across NSW. Comparable servicing offerings (tyres, brakes, alignment) and customer base to Speedy Lube; competes in regional catchment areas.

Emerging players

• NRMA Blue Mechanics: NRMA-affiliated mobile and workshop mechanical service operating across NSW, including regional areas. Comparable offering on log book servicing and repairs, with a stronger brand association through NRMA membership.
• AutoGuru: Australian online marketplace connecting vehicle owners with local mechanics for servicing and repairs. Not a direct competitor but a channel that influences how customers in Coffs Harbour discover and book service providers like Speedy Lube.
