Garage recruitment underway at Epyx, as average age of 1link Service Network parc increases.
In order to handle an increase in the average age of vehicles on the e-commerce platform, Epyx are aiming to recruit more garages.
There are currently 18,000 garages of different types providing service and maintenance providers through the platform, including franchise dealers, fast fits and independents of all kinds.
David Goodyear at Epyx, explained: “The fleet car and van parcs are gradually ageing and have been doing so since around the time of the financial crisis. 1Link Service Network reflects this.
“Having an older average vehicle profile changes the demands that fleets make in terms of our network. Essentially, we need more of them, with a wider range of services and a wider choice.
“This means that we are keen to hear from any garage who is not already a member of our service provider community and is interested in joining – whether franchise, fast-fit or independent.”
David Goodyear added: “We will be undertaking both direct marketing and various kinds of advertising to reach garages with our message over the next few months.”
