The first SpeeDee opened in December, 1980 in Metairie, Louisiana. Back then, automotive service stations were on the decline, but drivers' need for oil change service was on the rise. That's where SpeeDee came in. SpeeDee quickly grew into a quick lube and automotive tune-up service business. By the mid-90s, SpeeDee had added complete brake service and other auto maintenance and repair services.With decades in the automotive service and repair industry, SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® is proud to stand out as a leader. SpeeDee has built trusted customer relationships based on reliability and professional service, and has grown from a single store to a nationwide chain. The brand has flourished, thanks to a commitment to customer service, innovation, and driving strong ROI for franchisees. SpeeDee is committed to earning trust by providing customers with the expertise, value, and responsiveness they expect every time they visit.SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® is part of FullSpeed Automotive®, one of the largest and fastest-growing quick lube organizations not owned by an oil company and therefore not tied to a specific brand of products. FullSpeed is focused on helping franchisees open new businesses while also acquiring auto service centers from independent operators who are ready to sell. The goal is to use economies of scale to boost purchasing power and support for every location, whether owned by a franchisee or by FullSpeed Automotive itself.Refer to the Franchise Disclosure Document for the historical record of SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service®.
