Franchised Garage Dealers Investing In Modern Workshop Products To Compete with Independent Outlets

New information implies that franchised garage dealers have concerns about independent and fast-fit outlets and for that reason they are now buying newer workshop equipment. Results from the Castrol Professional Car Service and Repair Trend Tracker survey reveal that garages that have chains are losing out to local garages. The research indicates that in all servicing work carried out in the united kingdom, 45.7% of this happens in independent shops which is a rise from 42.1% compared to 2010. And this is a large surge from 10 years ago when independent repair work was just 30.2%.

The National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) says that franchised dealers are alert about the issue and are operating on a variety of proactive competition. New approaches they are taking on to hold on to customers include enhanced workstations, facilities and staff training. Additional tactics are made up of offering specialist in-depth details and up-to-date brand understanding.

The NFDA dispute that in such a difficult economic climate, consumers are reducing their spending and are more than ever seeking value for money and the best prices. The Independent Garage Associate alternatively is delighted at the new
findings for the independent sector and to see that they are considered favourably shows the garages are in tune with consumer demand.

All dealers can increase the level of quality labour produced in the vehicle working environment by working from well-designed sturdy BOTT workstations and benches. Staff production can be enhanced by getting them to use the best apparatus in order to provide top manufactured work- basically with excellent workshop equipment.
