Helping workshops maintain their independence while gaining crucial advantages

Why more independents are joining the Eurorepar Car Service network

In a challenging automotive aftermarket, independent garage owners across the UK are increasingly turning to the Eurorepar Car Service (ERCS) network for a competitive edge.

This strategic alliance is helping workshops maintain their independence while gaining crucial advantages that were once only available to franchised dealerships. With over 300 member garages now part of the network, ERCS has established itself as a major force in the independent aftermarket sector.

The power of a harmonised network

One of the most compelling reasons garages join ERCS is to become part of a harmonised network that offers consistency, recognition, and collective strength. Being part of this established network gives independent garages the backing of a recognised brand while maintaining their individual identity. The network provides a unified approach to service standards, customer experience, and technical capabilities that helps members stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

ERCS network members receive ongoing training opportunities covering emerging vehicle technologies, including hybrid and electric vehicle servicing. This technical knowledge transfer ensures independent garages can confidently handle even the most sophisticated modern vehicles.

Access to genuine OE parts

The partnership between ERCS and Distrigo – Stellantis Group’s national parts distribution network – creates a powerful advantage for member garages. Through Distrigo, ERCS workshops gain access to genuine OE parts across multiple brands, Eurorepar’s own comprehensive range, and carefully selected quality aftermarket alternatives.

This parts availability ensures garages can offer customers genuine manufacturer parts when needed or quality-assured alternatives at competitive prices. The parts come with solid warranties too, which builds customer confidence.

Distrigo’s sophisticated national logistics network of over 95 sites ensures next-day delivery on most items, with twice-daily deliveries in many areas. This availability significantly reduces vehicle downtime and improves workshop efficiency.

Rewards that keep on giving

A significant added benefit for ERCS members is access to DISTRIGO PERKS, the reward programme exclusively available through Distrigo Parts Distribution. This loyalty scheme allows garages to earn points with every purchase from their Distrigo Parts Distributor — one point for every pound spent.

The PERKS programme offers additional value on parts purchases that garages are making anyway. Points accumulate quickly and can be redeemed for tools, equipment, or even experiences. Garages can sign up to DISTRIGO PERKS with minimal hassle and start benefiting immediately. The points are automatically added to the member’s account, creating a seamless rewards experience that requires no additional administration from busy workshop owners.

Competitive pricing structure

ERCS’s flexible pricing model allows independent garages to remain price-competitive while maintaining healthy margins. The network doesn’t dictate pricing, instead providing guidance and cost structures that help businesses operate profitably.

Many members report increased average invoice values after joining the network. The ERCS branding gives customers confidence in the garage’s quality, which often translates to greater approval of recommended work.
