The leading distributor of automotive aftermarket parts, services and solutions in Europe has launched a central workshop concept hub to bring its 16 concept brands closer together.
The move will enable LKQ Europe’s in-country workshop concept teams – and importantly, the garages they partner with – to share best practices and resources, and benefit from a harmonized approach to proposition development and innovation.
LKQ Europe’s concept network is home to nearly 8,000 partner workshops in 11 of the 18 countries it operates in. The ambition is to onboard another 2,000 workshops across Europe and reach a network of 10,000 in the coming years.
The network comprises a range of concept brands with different criteria and levels of affiliation, to suit quality workshops with different needs and at different stages of their journeys.
Across Europe the following brands belong to LKQ’s certified workshop network: ‘a posto’ RHIAG, DediCar, Officina N°1 (all Italy), 1TEC Auto Hub (UK), Auto Kelly Autoservis (Czech Republic and Slovakia), Partner ELIT (Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine), Autofit, Autoprofi (both Germany), AC Auto Check (Germany) and Meisterhaft (Germany and Austria, both in cooperation with ATR and Matthies), Just Drive (Switzerland), Autofirst (Netherlands, Belgium and France), Vakgarage and Autoglobe (Netherlands) as well as Qualitygarage and Qualitycarrosserie (Belgium).
