What c t a m p controle technique automobile de midi-pyrenees does

CTAMP / DSM SARL (Contrôle Technique Automobile de Midi-Pyrénées) is a French private limited company (SARL) incorporated on October 4, 2001, operating a network of 19 authorized vehicle technical inspection centers across the Midi-Pyrénées region in southern France. Sixteen centers are located in Haute Garonne (concentrated around Toulouse), two in Tarn (Mazamet, Valdurenque), and one in Ariège (Tarascon-sur-Ariège). The company self-identifies as the leading technical inspection network in the region and operates under six recognized franchise brands—Autovision, Autosur, Autosécurité, Sécuritest, Vérif-Auto, and Diagnosur—maximizing consumer-facing brand coverage from a single operational backbone.

The core service is the regulated French technical inspection (contrôle technique), a 124-point standardized check covering engine, braking, lighting, steering, suspension, structure, and emissions (CO, lambda, smoke opacity), with 72 points subject to mandatory correction if defects are detected. The network supports petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid, and electric vehicles, and additionally offers motorcycle/L-category inspections, classic/collection vehicle inspections, and counter-visite (re-inspection) services for failed vehicles. Pricing is per-inspection and ranges from €34 for utility vehicles to €110 for premium passenger/EV inspections, with counter-visite fees set between €15 and €42 depending on re-test scope.

The business model is a high-volume, low-ticket transactional service monetized through individual consumer visits and modest fleet/business utility vehicle demand. Customer acquisition combines direct walk-in, telephone booking, and online scheduling through third-party platforms (rdv-online.fr, automsa.fr, securitest.org, autosur.fr), supported by a central website (ctamp.fr) and a Facebook brand presence. There is no disclosed external investment, parent company, or active M&A activity; the company is managed by Patricia Muller as the responsible person (gérant). Revenue and headcount figures are not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Dekra Automotive: Dekra is one of the largest global TIC firms and a leading operator of vehicle technical inspection networks across Europe including France. It directly competes with CTAMP for the same consumer inspection demand but with national scale, proprietary digital platforms, and B2B fleet contracts CTAMP lacks.
• Norisko (SGS): Norisko is a major French vehicle inspection network now owned by SGS, offering the same mandatory contrôle technique service plus broader TIC capabilities. Comparable to CTAMP in core service but operates at national scale with stronger enterprise/government relationships.

Direct peers

• Autovision: Autovision is one of the franchise brands under which CTAMP itself operates several centers. As a national franchise network, it competes with and complements CTAMP — peer operators run Autovision centers in other regions with the same 124-point inspection methodology.
• Autosur: Autosur is a vehicle technical inspection franchise network in France and the brand under which CTAMP operates its largest number of centers (9). Other Autosur franchisees in adjacent regions are direct competitors for cross-border customer flow.
• Sécuritest: Sécuritest is a French vehicle technical inspection franchise network and one of the brand families CTAMP operates under. Franchisees in neighboring departments offer the identical standardized service with comparable pricing structures.
• Autosécurité: Autosécurité is a national vehicle technical inspection franchise network; CTAMP operates two centers under this brand. It is a directly comparable regional franchise competitor with the same regulatory inspection methodology and pricing.
• Diagnosur: Diagnosur is a French contrôle technique franchise network under which CTAMP operates the Ramassier and Valdurenque centers. Other Diagnosur franchisees in adjacent departments compete for the same customer base with equivalent service offerings.
• Vérif'Auto: Vérif'Auto is a vehicle technical inspection brand under which CTAMP runs the Aucamville center. It is a smaller but directly comparable franchise competitor with the same standardized inspection scope.
• Autocontrol: Autocontrol is an independent French vehicle technical inspection network operating multiple centers nationwide. It is a directly comparable peer competing for the same regulatory inspection demand with similar regional rollup characteristics.
• CTB Contrôle Technique: CTB is a French regional vehicle inspection network operating under the same regulatory framework as CTAMP. It is a directly comparable regional peer with a multi-center, multi-brand franchise model.
