The Independent Garage Association (IGA) has announced a partnership between its subsidiary, the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Repair Alliance (HEVRA), and Solera Autodata. The collaboration is designed to provide independent garages with a comprehensive support package for servicing hybrid and electric vehicles, launching this October.

The new service will combine HEVRA’s EV expertise with Solera Autodata’s technical data. Garages will gain access to specialised EV repair guides and direct assistance from HEVRA’s team of experts. Additionally, the platform will allow technicians to upload and verify their qualifications, giving them recognition as EV-ready professionals.

Stuart James, CEO of the IGA, stated: “This launch represents a vital step in ensuring our members remain at the forefront of an industry undergoing rapid change. By combining Autodata’s trusted, comprehensive technical information with HEVRA’s specialist expertise, we are equipping independent garages with the confidence, skills, and recognition they need to not only adapt but excel in the electric vehicle era.”

Mark Tiana, Solera Business Development VP, commented on the partnership, highlighting the importance of having the right data and expertise to service EVs. He added that the collaboration is “creating a model that starts in the UK and will scale across Europe and beyond, empowering the industry to service EVs safely, competitively and profitably in the years ahead.”

The IGA states that this initiative will help independent garages keep pace with the growing electrified vehicle market, ensuring they are equipped to service these vehicles safely and profitably.
