Insurance companies and car dealerships are making more use of SMART repair technicians as they try to keep costs down and profit margins up as paint , material and labour costs rise
Recent DVLA statistics show that there are nearly 33 million vehicles registered on the UK roads.
New registrations are still creeping up, meaning that the amount of vehicles is constantly growing.
Industry statistics show that only around 3% of these 33 million cars are currently being repaired which leaves a large gap in this market.
Locally our franchise network is seeing a shift in the type of repairs and damage required.
Previously our network would be repairing newer cars prior to trade in, now customers are looking to save money in the current climate and are therefore looking, and shopping around for the ” best” price for general vehicle repairs.
More and more owners are opting to either keep hold of their vehicle and so spend money on the small areas that need improving or swapping for a smaller more economical car resulting in larger “petrol guzzling” cars needing attention prior to sale.
As such the network is constantly requested to perform repairs, normally only associated with conventional body shops as our repair costs are generally 50% cheaper.
Conventional body shops are fighting an increasing battle with insurance companies squeezing the profit margins to a lower and lower point. Our SMART repair technicians are able to undercut the body shop with both price and fixed repair costs, and as such, we are seeing our repair network now performing work for insurance companies, which would otherwise have gone to the body shop, due to our lower costs.
