About SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service
We’re Not Owned by Our Suppliers
- We’re one of the largest and fastest-growing quick lube organizations not owned by an oil company. Our independence gives us the freedom to negotiate with several suppliers, which helps improve quality and lower prices for our franchisees and their customers.
Flexible Development Options
- Our construction and design plans are flexible, which allows you to take advantage of far more real estate opportunities (and potentially save time and money).
Happy Repeat Customers
- We enjoy high customer service ratings and a stellar repeat customer percentage. That creates a strong platform for the growth of your business.
Multi-Unit Opportunities Available Nationwide
- While most large oil change chains have stagnated, we expect to open hundreds of locations in the coming years. If you’re looking to take on a swath of territory, we should talk.

Why SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service?
The auto repair industry is massive, steadily growing, and resistant to downturns. SpeeDee is a great business opportunity because more than 99% of the vehicles on U.S. roads need regular oil changes. While EVs are slowly gaining market share, it will be decades before they are the majority of cars on the road.
The auto aftermarket industry is strong because almost everyone in America drives. Americans cumulatively drive about 3.3 trillion miles per year, and are keeping their vehicles longer than ever before. According to research, the average vehicle in operation in 2023 was 12.5 years old; 25% of cars are 16 years old or older. Drivers understand that to extend the life of their vehicles, routine maintenance is a must.
Of the 297 million vehicles projected to be on American roads in 2024, 99% require oil changes. Despite the attention EVs receive, it’s expected to take several decades for them to outnumber gas-powered vehicles. According to the New York Times, analysts expect EVs to make up a quarter of new car sales in the U.S. by 2035, but only 13% of the vehicles on the road, because of older vehicles still in operation.
If and when EVs become the majority of vehicles on the road, we’ll be ready. EVs may not need engine oil, but they still need brake fluid, coolant, brakes pads, cabin air filters, batteries, and other routine maintenance items. SpeeDee is already studying the market for EV maintenance and developing plans for this eventual transition.
Ideal Candidate
SpeeDee offers tremendous franchise support to help you get started and grow your business. Even if you don’t have automotive repair experience and are simply exploring the industry because of its stability and strong margins, you can be assured that you will be backed by a large franchise support team dedicated to your success. We provide training, marketing support, and a wide range of tools to help you find customers and serve them well.
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.
Each candidate must complete the path to ownership process. The process is designed to evaluate a potential partnership by helping you gain a deep understanding of the brand and culture and by helping us understand more about you. Part of that process includes your franchise sales representative pitching your skills, experience, and financials to our executive team. This team will determine if you are right for the brand and if you qualify. We don’t sell franchises — we award them to the right people who we feel would make a great SpeeDee franchisee.

Testimonials
Mark Freeman, Louisiana
This [SpeeDee] will give me an opportunity to live my life the way I want. I was managing properties for an oil company in the Gulf of Mexico. I have had people call me to ask, ”Do you miss it?” I don't miss it. I don’t miss any of that. I love getting up, going to my shop, opening it up. And I like talking to people.
Matthew Kirby, Texas
The marketing has probably been the best experience I've ever had. The SpeeDee marketing team is and always has been hands-down in control and has always done a great job on every level. I attribute a lot of the success to marketing efforts. They really care about the franchisees' commitments to their investments and ongoing franchise agreements.
Garland Moore, North Carolina
The SpeeDee leadership team is very professional. In old jobs, I’ve always had leadership that was very brash and ruled with an iron fist and used fear as a tool to get you to do what they wanted you to do. I didn’t get that feeling at all with SpeeDee. They’ve always been very helpful and answered all of my questions. Sometimes things go wrong and customers have issues, and when that happens, I can reach out to one of my fellow franchisees or to a member of the SpeeDee leadership team. There is always someone I can text or call who can help me.

SpeeDee’s business model is really second to none. It’s as honest as it gets — it really just goes back to that same family-oriented atmosphere. SpeeDee doesn’t take advantage of people and try to milk them for every penny. Customers bring their cars to our shops and trust us to do the best work we can for a fair price.
