Repairs, maintenance, tooling and diagnostics

The activity of each of the players in the automotive after-sales sector varies depending on the age of the vehicles but also according to the needs of motorists.

Key figures*

______

Millions of private vehicles (PCs)
6.2
Millions of light commercial vehicles (LCVs)
11.3
Average age of a vehicle's lifespan

Maintenance breaks down into three main sectors of activity:

Regular services:
  • Servicing /  vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations
  • Oil changes.
  • Seasonal services

 All these visits represent approximately 50% of all visits to workshops 
Tyre changes:
While they could be compared with a servicing operation and are often carried out at the same time as an oil change, they are considered to be a separate segment due to their importance. 
Other repairs:
  • Specific non-immobilising problems
  • Post vehicle inspection repairs which require the vehicle to undergo a second roadworthiness inspection
  • Breakdowns
  • Road accidents.
It should be noted that all of these segments together represent approximately one in three workshop visits.
