ERCS: Empowering independent garage growth across the UK

The Eurorepar Car Service (ERCS) network has expanded to over 300 member garages across the UK, providing independent workshops with extensive support to foster business growth while preserving their entrepreneurial freedom. ERCS offers a robust suite of business tools and key partnerships to help members thrive in the competitive automotive aftermarket.

Beyond technical and parts assistance, ERCS supplies members with resources typically inaccessible to independent workshops. These include branded marketing materials, local area marketing support, online booking systems, customer relationship management software, and digital marketing assistance. These tools help attract new customers and build loyalty, with the ERCS branding enhancing professionalism and the digital tools streamlining administration.

ERCS members also benefit from automatic enrolment in the Independent Garage Association (IGA). This partnership provides access to a dedicated member helpline, specialised technical training, MOT Quality Control and Health & Safety initiatives, and an online technical forum. Members also receive exclusive offers on commercial services, as well as expert legal and HR advice. Additionally, ERCS garages enjoy preferential training rates at RMI Academy of Automotive Skills locations and may qualify for the CTSI-approved Trust My Garage consumer code scheme.

The relationship between ERCS and Distrigo Parts Distribution ensures a seamless experience for garage owners. While ERCS focuses on customer attraction and retention, Distrigo guarantees parts availability through its extensive national network of over 95 sites, allowing for efficient and cost-effective repairs. Joining ERCS automatically grants preferred access to Distrigo’s parts catalogue and delivery services, including the DISTRIGO PERKS programme.

Crucially, ERCS allows garage owners to retain their independence, with no franchise fees and businesses maintaining their identity while adopting the ERCS branding. With over 300 member garages and continued growth, the ERCS proposition resonates with independent workshops seeking support without sacrificing their autonomy.
