FullSpeed Automotive has announced the promotion of Scott Accardo to vice president of operations for SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service, according to a press release.

Accardo brings over three decades of experience in the automotive industry, starting as a 7-year-old vacuuming in his father’s SpeeDee store. His father joined the company in 1982 as the first SpeeDee franchisee, and as Accardo grew up helping throughout his three locations, he eventually became manager of the Covington, Louisiana store for 12 years.

He then went on to become a franchise support director for SpeeDee Worldwide before working as an integration shop operations manager for SpeeDee/Midas/TBC. Following that, he was given the title of operations manager and oversaw over 65 locations in the central U.S. for SpeeDee and Midas.

As vice president of operations, Accardo will now supervise franchise operations and work to maintain the company’s relationship with franchisees.

“Scott’s leadership role within SpeeDee is vast, and his decades of knowledge and understanding of the SpeeDee brand is well known within the franchise community,” said FullSpeed Automotive’s President of Franchising, Ron Stilwell.
