A garage network prepared for the future

Are you embracing the future of the industry? A message from Louise Davies, Head of Concepts at LKQ Euro Car Parts. It’s been an exciting first year since the launch of our new concept garage network - 1TEC Auto Hub. With over 200 quality workshops now on board as part of the community we’re looking forward to the year ahead and would love for you to join our growing network too.

For anyone who’s unfamiliar with how a garage concept can help their workshop, consider this an introduction! As a business, LKQ Euro Car Parts is on a mission to help the independent aftermarket compete on a more level playing field with the dealerships. Perhaps the biggest single reason a motorist might choose to use a dealership’s workshop or bodyshop is because of the OEM logo. But garages that belong to a recognised, successful network, with its logo above the door, can provide that same level of reassurance. independent workshops access to exclusive benefits designed to help them not just meet, but exceed the level of service the dealerships can offer, locally and at a better price. Concepts have a big part to play by giving quality

Being a concept garage sets an expectation that customers will receive a high standard of service, that the workshop will use quality products and that the team working there will be supported with all the tools, training and expertise to deliver great service. We believe that concept garages have a key role to play in supporting the sector’s future, and that’s why we’ve created 1TEC Auto Hub. What separates 1TEC Auto Hub is the unique roster of partners behind it – MPM, Pagid, Schaeffler, Shell, VARTA, Valeo, ZF Aftermarket and us – all of who are supplying their support and access to the latest technical data, tools and products. In this sense, 1TEC Auto Hub is very much focused on the future and helping garages to adapt

to rapidly developing trends in automotive world.

Why not join us and harness the power of a collaborative partnership that looks to overcome industry challenges and accelerate success together. If you’re interested in joining our community, or simply want to find out more then please don’t hesitate to contact a us at concepts@LKQEurocarparts.com Thank you Louise Davies The response to the 1TEC Auto Hub launch has been hugely positive, and the garages that have already joined our ever growing community have felt the benefits from day one.
