Industry surveys of the Independent Automotive Repair Sector tell us that:
Business is changing but the shops in our
network that can adapt will prosper!
The independent auto repair shop can recapture
its former prestige.
The average age of the vehicles repaired is
getting older in shops not keeping up with technology. (We don’t know how
much we could know until we work together)
Capable technicians are getting harder to
hire. Is yours a shop they want to work in?
Many owners are working harder and making less
net profit than they ever did but by working together we can reverse that
trend.
This year, the OEM dealer network experienced a huge set backs and we have our best opportunity ever to inform and educate the consumer about the advantages of dealing at an Independent Shop.
Shop owners across Canada are banding together to drive the changes needed to reverse these trends, by forming the C.I.A. Association (Canadian Independent Automotive Association).
Together we have a voice that can:
Raise public awareness as to the rights, capabilities, advantages and prestige of the independent shop.
Influence parts distributor and manufacturer policies that impact the independent sector.
To provide a regular, regional forum, for shop owners to meet and share their views and concerns.
