New platform generates 21,000 aftermarket repair jobs
The LKQ Euro Car Parts online platform Fit it for Me has sent more than 21,000 jobs into the independent aftermarket in the year since its launch.
The platform allows drivers to choose from a network of approved garages when buying parts. Drivers pick the parts they need on the LKQ Euro Car Parts consumer website, which are then delivered directly to a Fit It For Me-approved garage, to be fitted by a qualified technician.
In total, the platform has helped to generate more than £680,000 of additional labour for garages over the last 12 months. More than 1,450 garages have received bookings through the service, with 81% securing repeat visits from happy customers.
Anthony McAteer, trading director at LKQ Euro Car Parts, said: “We launched Fit It For Me to help garages bring in more work via digital channels, while tapping into a pool of end users that they wouldn’t necessary have direct access to before.”
