🎉Good news story from one of our users today: 🚘The bodyshop ordered a part which unfortunately went on back order, so, they searched the PartsXchange platform & found the part they needed, which was actually at their own bodyshop! Without using PXC, they would have never known. This would have delayed the repairs and ultimately delayed the customer getting their car back. 🍀In this case, the bodyshop has solved an issue quickly, made this job more profitable as well as being more green. 🗒Loading your unwanted stock onto our platform gives you the opportunity to stock take your parts & sell your parts. 🏆Either way, its a WIN WIN with no expense! #WhenInnovationMeetsApplication PartsXchange The Fastest Growing Bodyshop Marketplace Calum Phillips Millie Hunt ROB WALKER

I've seen a lot of discussion about how the retail EV share of the new car market is better than the official SMMT figures suggest because consumers are using salary sacrifice schemes to buy EVs. However, if that was the case, I think you'd expect the fleet/business share of EV registrations to be even higher.

Pricing to market is a highly effective strategy that seeks to maximise margin and stock turn. 📈 To truly capitalise on this strategy dealers need to consider local retail pricing alongside national guides to gain an edge on local competition.

We've gained some new followers recently, so if you're new to AutoRaise, here's a quick history of how an idea evolved into a charity supporting apprentices and bodyshops in the auto industry. AutoRaise started as a small working group of vehicle repairers who saw the need for a modern apprenticeship standard. What began in 2012 as an initiative between Fix Auto Dagenham and Barking & Dagenham College has now evolved into a charity with a single mission: to promote the vehicle repair industry as a sustainable and rewarding career path. Chris Oliver and a team of leading repairers helped build a new, government-backed multiskilled apprenticeship framework, setting the stage for today’s Trailblazer Apprenticeship Standards. In 2016, this dedicated group formalised their efforts, becoming a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with a mission to bring new talent into the industry. At AutoRaise, we’re all about engaging young people, nurturing apprentices, and supporting the future owners and leaders of our industry. This is just a snapshot of our history. Join us in shaping the future. #AutoRaise #Apprenticeships #AutomotiveIndustry #ShapingTheFuture #cars #apprentices #automotive

🚗 Impact of plug-in hybrid tax hike downplayed by Volkswagen fleet boss 🚗 Big future increases to plug-in hybrid company car tax rates are not likely to provoke major changes in Volkswagen’s approach to the vehicles, according to the firm’s UK fleet boss. Owen Shepherd suggested Volkswagen was already set to move away from PHEVs by the time new higher tax rates come in.  Read more online: https://lnkd.in/eHbRP4jD 🔔 Click our follow button to see regular car and fleet industry news and insights, and subscribe to our newsletter 🔔 #BusinessCar #volkswagen #fleet #phev #pluginhybrids #evs Volkswagen UK
