AutoCap Group acquires Skanstulls Bil & Däck – one of Stockholm's most respected tire workshops
AutoCap Group today announces the acquisition of Skanstulls Bil & Däck Aktiebolag in Skarpnäck – a tire workshop whose reputation reaches well beyond Stockholm. Since its founding in 1990, Johan Forslund and his team have built a tire specialist that has become a natural choice among the country's most demanding drivers.
This is the kind of trust that cannot be built quickly. Among Sweden's car enthusiasts and car communities, Skanstull is one of the workshops people recommend onward – and name with pride. That position is the result of decades of craftsmanship, quality and personal service, and it is precisely the kind of business AutoCap Group seeks out.
Skanstulls Bil & Däck continues under its own name and with the same team, while the business now gains access to the group's shared resources in purchasing, logistics and digital systems. The acquisition strengthens AutoCap Group's position in Greater Stockholm and is one of the most recent steps in an expansion that, in less than a year, encompasses more than thirteen acquired workshops.
“Skanstulls Bil & Däck is exactly the kind of workshop we want in the group. Johan and his team have built a reputation that extends far beyond Stockholm, and that says everything about the quality of what they deliver. Becoming a natural choice for the country's most discerning drivers is a seal of approval you cannot buy. We are proud to welcome them, and together we will build on what they have created.”
David Knape
CEO, AutoCap Group
For Johan Forslund, choosing a partner was about finding someone who understands what the workshop stands for.
“We have built this over many years, and our name means something to our customers. In AutoCap Group we found a partner that sees the value in that and wants to reinforce it, not change it. With the group's resources behind us, we can do even more for our customers, while they still meet the same workshop, the same team and the same quality as always. For my own part, I look forward to staying on and continuing to develop the business.”
