Why SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service^® is a Top-Rated Automotive Franchise

We make vehicle maintenance convenient

SpeeDee's success is built upon the SpeeDee Performance Certified Program that requires our teams to deliver speed, quality, and a remarkable experience to every customer, at every service visit.

Customers choose us because our SpeeDee Performance Certified technicians act as advisors, not salesmen. During each oil change, we conduct a 17-point inspection of the vehicle: checking air filters, brake fluid, power steering fluid, battery fluid, coolant, tires, windshield wiper fluid, and more. We even vacuum the interior. If we find issues, or if mileage indicates that it’s time for manufacturer-recommended services, we let the customer know the issue and give them the option of having the service performed. From a business perspective, it’s an opportunity to sell additional services and increase the average ticket and profitability. But we don’t take a sales-driven approach. We simply let customers know what we advise to help them keep their vehicle tip-top.

We build teams through respect, empowerment, and drive

SpeeDee believes that the best way to build a successful business is to instill a strong culture within the organization. We all rely on one another for the brand to be successful. We work hard every day to earn the trust of franchisees, just as you work to earn the trust of your customers and employees.

We look for people who have the drive to constantly improve, and the willingness to share ideas and ask questions. We look for people who treat others with respect, honesty, and consideration. We look for leaders who will empower their employees and who enjoy watching them develop new skills and advance their careers. And we value commitments — the willingness to do what’s needed to fulfill promises.

More than anything, we value teamwork.

Matthew Kirby, who owns three locations in Texas and is planning to open more, says the business model has helped both his family and his employees thrive. His three children run day-to-day operations. One of the things he loves about the business is that he's not the only one making good money. "One of my managers came in with a big smile on his face and gave me a hug. 'What's that for?,' I asked. He told me that his dad about had a cow when he saw his 1040 form laying around. He couldn't believe it. His son was making more than both his parents put together."

FullSpeed Automotive is unique in several ways

• FullSpeed Automotive^® is a leading automotive aftermarket services platform offering oil changes, tire sales and rotations, brake services, car washes, and other ancillary services through multiple brands. Altogether, FullSpeed Automotive represents more than 700 service centers. Its two biggest brands are SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service and Grease Monkey.
• FullSpeed Automotive owns and operates over 200 locations of SpeeDee, Grease Monkey, and other smaller oil change brands. While some franchisors don’t own any units, we have significant skin in the game. That helps us stay focused on operations and bottom line results — and it also gives us tremendous expertise that helps us support franchisees.
• Since it is not owned by an oil company, FullSpeed Automotive is free to negotiate with several suppliers, which helps improve quality and lower prices.
• FullSpeed shares knowledge between its brands, which allows it to gather more data and make stronger recommendations.

We buy independent oil change shops

In addition to helping new business owners open SpeeDee and Grease Monkey locations, FullSpeed Automotive also purchases independent oil change centers.

“We welcome the opportunity to speak with other independent shop owners who are considering a sale, as FullSpeed Automotive has the resources and expertise to move quickly to close transactions,” said Rob Lynch, CEO of FullSpeed Automotive.

FullSpeed Automotive can also help independent business owners convert their existing locations to either the SpeeDee or Grease Monkey brand, which allows them to tap into our franchise support. Converting is a great option for owners who want to pass their business to the next generation in their family and want strong systems and support in place. It can also be a great option for people who are a few years away from retirement and want to build the value of their business before selling.
