What AS Aasta Auto does

Aasta Auto AS is a privately held, multi-brand automobile dealership headquartered in Tartu, Estonia, operating as the sole authorized representative for Audi, Škoda, and Porsche in Southern Estonia. The group operates co-located physical showrooms at Sepa 24A–B in Tartu covering Audi Tartu, Škoda Tartu, and the Porsche Tartu Gallery, alongside the Aasta Auto Approved certified pre-owned vehicle program (110-point inspection, factory warranty), the Ufo Garage service workshop, and dedicated business/fleet sales with credit and leasing arrangements. The company serves individual retail consumers and corporate/fleet clients across the Lõuna-Eesti catchment, offering new vehicles, certified used vehicles, authorized maintenance and repair, genuine parts and accessories (via dedicated e-shops for Audi and Škoda), accident management and insurance coordination, and a multi-bank financing partner stack comprising SEB, LHV, Swedbank, Luminor, and Coop.

The company's core technology is a conventional multi-brand dealership operations platform — separate websites for Audi Tartu, Škoda Tartu, and Aasta Auto Approved, integrated quote/test-drive/service booking forms, parts e-commerce stores, and a content/blog site. There is no proprietary product or platform IP; AI/ML capability is limited to OEM-provided connected-car features (myAudi, Škoda Connect) and vehicle telematics integrated into the Audi and Škoda product lines.

Aasta Auto generates revenue through four streams: (1) new vehicle sales of Audi, Škoda, and Porsche models as authorized dealer; (2) certified pre-owned vehicle sales via the Approved program; (3) workshop services for maintenance, repairs, and accident management with seasonal service campaigns; and (4) original parts and accessories through dedicated e-shops and walk-in orders. Vehicle pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted on request; financing and leasing are routed through five banking partners. The company is management-controlled, led by Chairman of the Board Tarmo Uffert and CEO Andrias Tammistu, with no disclosed external private equity or strategic investor.
