1TEC Auto Hub is celebrating its first year in operation with the launch of a new remote diagnostic service from LKQ Euro Car Parts.
The LKQ Remote service provides garages with on-demand access to tools for complex coding and programming jobs, preventing the need to send cars back to manufacturers.
This addition comes alongside the network’s continued growth, with over 275 garages already signed up and a target of exceeding 300 members by the end of 2024.
LKQ Euro Car Parts launched 1TEC Auto Hub alongside major brands like MPM Oil, Pagid, and Schaeffler. The network offers members various benefits, including access to technical data, tools, marketing support, training, and exclusive events.
Louise Davies, Head of Concepts at LKQ Euro Car Parts said: “Offering our 1TEC Auto Hub members exclusive access to remote diagnostic tools through LKQ Remote Support will ensure they never have to turn away a job. Completing complex jobs that would normally have to be sent back to the manufacturer also means customers can get their vehicles back faster, helping build loyalty and repeat business.
“The 1TEC Auto Hub workshop concept was created to help the industry’s professionals navigate the everchanging automotive landscape and deliver a best-in-class service. We’re proud to have a host of award-winning members join our network over the past 12 months, including IAAF Garage of the Year winners, Shaikly Motor Company, Best Multi-Site Garage winners, CCM Garages, and Best Single-Site Garage winners, DC Lomas Limited – to name a few. Having these impressive workshops on board all helps to build the credibility of the 1TEC Auto Hub brand.
“This will only grow in importance as our network continues to grow and expand. We look forward to continuing to build out the 1TEC Auto Hub proposition together with our partners, and creating an independent workshop brand that drivers actively seek for quality repairs and unbeatable service.”
1TEC Auto Hub is one of 16 brands within LKQ Europe’s network, with over 8,000 partner workshops across 11 countries. With collaborative efforts and innovation, the network aims to establish itself as a leading independent garage brand for drivers seeking quality repairs and exceptional service.
