The SpeeDee story begins in December 1980 when the first SpeeDee Oil Change location was opened in Metairie, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. At that time, the number of Automotive Service Centers was declining as more and more "corner gas stations" went the way of self-serve mini-marts. SpeeDee's goal was to answer the increasing need for oil change services during a decline in service locations.

For the next two years the SpeeDee concept was refined and developed by its founders, Gary Copp and Kevin Bennett. In 1982, more services were added and the Company became SpeeDee Oil Change & Tune-Up.

Shortly thereafter, they began offering franchises. In 1994, SpeeDee added complete brake repair to round out its service menu. Now, each SpeeDee center can truly be called a full Automotive Service Center offering a full range of preventive and corrective maintenance services including 17 point oil changes, fluid service, tune-ups and engine maintenance, air conditioning service, and complete brake service are also available at most locations. State inspection service as applicable. Over the next 23 years the SpeeDee concept of offering great customer service and a full range of services has grown to our 160+ centers in the U.S. and Mexico.
