What counts as Motor trade and garages

The industry corresponds to ÖNACE division 45 (wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles). It covers trade and workshop, even when both happen in the same business.

Petrol stations are not included: they are in ÖNACE 47.30 and therefore in the industry Retail and online retail.

Motor vehicle trades in GISA, franchised dealers on manufacturer sites

Repair garages need a trade licence. There is no specific motor trade register with contact details.

GISA
Garages’ trade licences are recorded in GISA and can be viewed individually via the GISA search. The register contains no phone numbers.
Franchised dealers
Car manufacturers publish their authorised dealers and workshops on their websites. These lists are the manufacturer’s marketing, not a public register.
Firmenbuch
Larger dealers are usually companies and registered in the companies register; many independent garages are sole proprietorships.

Trade or workshop: what the main activity tells you

A car dealer with a workshop is usually listed under 45.11 (sale), an independent garage under 45.20. If you sell garage equipment, ask for both classes.

Tyre dealers that fit tyres can be in 45.20 or 45.32. For tyre and parts wholesalers, combining both classes makes sense.

Sales calls and marketing emails to motor businesses require prior consent (§ 174 TKG 2021). A letter is suitable for a first approach.
