A.T.U Auto-Teile-Unger is Germany's largest automotive service and retail chain, operating over 500 branches across Germany and Austria with approximately 10,000 employees. Founded in 1985 in Weiden, Germany, the company has been part of the Mobivia group since 2016.
ATU's model combines professional workshops with integrated retail shops under one roof. Each branch offers both hands-on vehicle services - from routine oil changes and inspections to complex repairs - and a retail offer covering tires, auto parts, and related products. This physical network is complemented by an online shop, enabling customers to purchase products and access services digitally. The company serves millions of customers annually across its locations.
The business spans several operational domains:
- Automotive maintenance and repair - routine servicing, vehicle inspections, and complex mechanical work carried out in on-site workshops
- Automotive retail - tires, parts, and accessories sold through branch-level stores
- E-commerce - an online channel running alongside the branch network
ATU operates at the intersection of traditional skilled trades and retail operations, with a workforce that spans automotive technicians, customer-facing retail staff, and the functions needed to run a national multi-channel operation.
