The road where safety begins

Start

What is BestDrive?

BestDrive is a network of premium franchise car service centers, as well as a leading tire retail brand in Europe and Asia. The network already brings together over 2,200 service centers across five continents. It is a carefully crafted ecosystem of service centers where local expertise meets the global resources of one of the world’s strongest automotive brands.

The model is simple yet effective: independent business owners retain their identity and customer relationships while gaining access to technology, knowledge, and tools developed globally.

30 years of experience. 15 years on the road together.

A road is more than just the distance between point A and point B. It’s part of drivers’ daily lives – thousands of kilometers a year, hundreds of decisions, and one common denominator: safety. Behind it all are technology, experience, and people you can trust. It is on this foundation that Continental has been developing its expertise in the Polish market for 30 years and has been building the BestDrive network for 15 years – a project that combines global know-how with the strength of local service centers.

The anniversary of both brands is not only a symbol of time but also proof of consistency in action – a shared journey where standards, partnership, and quality tangibly translate into the safety of millions of drivers.

Watch the video to learn how BestDrive partners view road safety, business innovations, and the impact of standards on their daily work.

We present selected BestDrive service centers, showing how modern workshops operate on a daily basisand how their role in the mobility ecosystem is evolving. Service centers that once focused mainly on tire replacement now offer comprehensive services: mechanical repairs, diagnostics, fleet services, and customer mobility management. This is a natural evolution – driven by technological advances, rising driver expectations, and the support of Continental as a technology partner.

„Continental is an international company. It has also been our long-standing business partner for many years. For us, safety means fostering the right conditions for cooperation and building strong relationships with people. Given the shared values and trust we have in one another, I believe that together we can achieve more and go further.”

„As a major and influential player in the tire market, Continental provides us with stability, expertise, and tangible support in our day-to-day work. It’s a partnership with people we can count on, and that’s truly very important to us.”

„The BestDrive network gave us the opportunity to grow. It allowed us to take off – to transform from a service center that used to be exclusively a tire shop. We started offering full-service car maintenance, not just tire sales and installation. We were motivated to start paying more attention to the details. I think that’s when we started to enjoy mechanics and take a greater interest in each customer. And that customer started coming back to us.”

“A turning point in the company’s history was joining the BestDrive network. That’s when we began offering not only tire services but also auto repair. Tires are, of course, our core business, but thanks to our expansion into auto repair, we’re now a strong player in that field as well.”

What happens at our service centers has a direct impact on road safety. That’s why BestDrive applies the same quality and service standards across all regions. For drivers, this means one thing: no matter where you go, you can count on the same level of safety and reliability.

Daniel Kociubiński, manager BestDrive  Why are we expanding our network?

„From the very beginning, it was clear to us that the quality of our advice and our commitment to safety are paramount. Despite widespread access to information, a well-trained advisor remains essential – their decisions have a real impact on safety and operating costs.

Within the Retail Continental structure, we are consistently developing BestDrive as a professional business environment – for both workshops and fleet customers. Today, both end users and fleet managers expect not only service, but above all predictability, standardization, and operational peace of mind – and that is exactly what we deliver.”

BestDrive in Poland is promoting road safety

Today, BestDrive in Poland comprises over 60 service centers and boasts 15 years of steady growth. From the first location in 2011 to a nationwide network that serves thousands of drivers every day – this growth was no accident. It was the result of consistently building partnerships and investing in people. It is precisely these people – service center owners and their teams – who form the foundation of this network. Continental provides the tools, standards, and support that make Polish roads safer with each passing year.

Network partners benefit from support in key areas: from business development and technical training, through marketing, to the optimization of customer service processes. At the same time, each service center retains its independence – these are still local businesses, often built up over the years, that know their customers and their needs.

„BestDrive’s 15th anniversary in Poland confirms the effectiveness of our efforts. In our model, we provide partners with comprehensive support – from skills development and knowledge transfer, through consistent branding, to product support. Our goal is to enable service centers to run a profitable, stable business and build a strong, recognizable position in the local market” – adds Daniel Kociubiński.

Drivers’ trust is the best measure of service quality

BestDrive is more than just procedures and guidelines. It’s about relationships built over years. Constant communication, support from network managers, and access to expertise create an environment where partners can grow their businesses in a stable and predictable way – and drivers can be confident that safety isn’t a coincidence here, but a standard.
