Mega Trends impacting Service Bays:
Market Size of Vehicle Servicing in the UAE:
Competitive Landscape:
27% of vehicle servicing revenue comes from Collision repair, majorly governed by Insurance companies in the UAE
OEM ASC customer retention is 80-90% for the first two years, especially for vehicles that undergo collision repair
OEM authorised workshops must reduce labour costs by reducing standard replacement time in total invoice value of repairs
Third party workshops take half the time for repairs as against AW: therefore vehicle owners prefer not to use the AW
OEM workshops mostly use new & genuine parts for collision repair regardless of vehicle age leading to increase in invoice value vs. third party workshops
Third party workshops opt for counterfeit or used body parts to reduce the overall invoice value: affecting the sales of original OE parts
Insurance companies assign collision repair job to workshops: Important for OEMS to have strategic tie-ups with Insurance companies
Insurance companies insist on using original used parts for vehicles above 2 years of ownership. This hampers sales of original parts
Key Success factors for Multi-brand workshop
Regulation & aggregation of independent/3rd-party workshops imperative; technician qualifications to be enhanced, strategic insurance tie-ups required
