Epyx is aiming to recruit more garages to 1link Service Network in order to handle an increase in the average age of vehicle on the e-commerce platform.<\/p>\n
Currently, there are 18,000 garages of different types providing service and maintenance providers through the platform, including franchise dealers, fast fits and independents of all kinds.<\/p>\n
David Goodyearat epyx, explained: \u201cThe fleet car and van parcs are gradually aging and have been doing so since around the time of the financial crisis. 1link Service Network reflects this.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving an older average vehicle profile changes the demands that fleets make in terms of our network. Essentially, we need more of them, with a wider range of services and a wider choice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means that we are keen to hear from any garage who is not already a member of our service provider community and is interested in joining – whether franchise, fast-fit or independent.\u201d<\/p>\n
1link Service Network was launched in 2001 and is by far the most widely used fleet service and maintenance platform.<\/p>\n
David Goodyear added: \u201cWe will be undertaking both direct marketing and various kinds of advertising to reach garages with our message over the next few months.\u201d<\/p>\n
