Eurorepar Car Service is now offering its EV label, highlighting the ability to serve hybrid and electric vehicles, to its members across Europe.
Following a successful launch in the Netherlands during 2023, where 50% of the Eurorepar Car Service network joined the EV Label program within only six months, the multi-brand repair and maintenance network is extending the EV Label to its members in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom in the coming months.
EV servicing a step foward
With the number of electric vehicles in the UK rising, especially in the fleet market, garages that can service the technology will find their businesses increasingly called upon in the coming years. Fleet sales are important to the aftermarket, with these cars likely to enter the independent sector once de-fleeted after three years. This means the number of used-EVs will only increase, following the technology’s upward trajectory that began in 2021.
“The EV Label is already a reality in the Netherlands and will continue to be deployed throughout the year 2024,” stated Luca Parasacco, SVP Stellantis Global Head of P&S Distribution & Service Networks and CEO of Eurorepar Car Service. “This new service is an important step forward for the Eurorepar Car Service network which enriches its offer with a professional service, while maintaining the ‘fair price’ positioning since its beginnings.
“Our offer seduces many customers wishing to have their vehicle maintained in a nearby garage, at competitive prices, and without compromise on the quality of the services. The fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles will continue to grow, in this context, we felt it was essential to make the maintenance of electrified vehicles more accessible to final and professional customers within our multi-brand maintenance and repair network.”
Support with EV Label
With the deployment of this new EV Label for the maintenance of hybrid and electric vehicles, Eurorepar Car Service gives the means to support its network in the electromobility revolution and the challenges it faces regarding training, technical data and repair methods, diagnostic tool, tooling solution and garage equipment.
“Eurorepar Car Service is now prepared for the electrification growth of the European car park by guaranteeing its customers the assurance of trained and qualified teams owning the necessary equipment to service electrified vehicles in safety and in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s maintenance plans to preserve the warranty of the vehicle and its traction battery,” The network said in a statement.
Every workshop member of the EV label will have at least a 22kWh charging station, in order to ensure that vehicles can be charged for customer collection, and to benefit those customers visiting the repair workshops.
