Turn a fragmented workshop market into a clear plan

Workshop Landscape makes the repair market transparent and actionable. It helps users understand how workshops are structured, where service networks are present, how garage concepts compete and where market opportunities exist.

Understand the channel split

Analyze how independent workshops, authorized networks, auto centres, fast fitters and specialist outlets divide each market.

What the data tells you

Workshop Landscape turns workshop market data into a clear, interactive view of the European repair sector. It brings together the full spectrum of outlets that service vehicles — from independent garages and authorized repair networks to auto centres, fast fitters, branded dealerships, tyre specialists, glass specialists and paint/body repair businesses.

It consolidates and extends the former Garage Structures and Garage Concepts views. Instead of looking at workshop counts, types and concepts separately, users now receive one integrated view of the complete workshop ecosystem — including network affiliation, garage type, country coverage and competitive positioning.

This makes it easier to understand not only how many workshops exist in a market, but how they are organized, which concepts they belong to and how strong individual networks are in each country.
