“The closing of approximately 50,000 Dealer bays since 2008 has created an unprecedented opportunity for Independent (non-Dealer) repair outlets to fill this high-tech vehicle repair gap.”
“The technical complexity of vehicles is increasing exponentially with each model year. Combined with the loss of Dealer bays, this has created a high-tech repair gap. The ability of Independent (non-Dealer) outlets to fill this growing repair market need will depend on their receiving technical training and acquiring sophisticated diagnostic and repair tools and equipment.”
