An article published on the Aftermarket Magazine website this week has reported that the Motorparc census, which was conducted by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) shows that the average car on UK roads is now 7.44 years old. This is a two month increase from this time last year, and shows the effects that the lingering recession is having on the cars that we drive.
However this is great news for the aftermarket and automotive repair industry, with a greater number of older vehicles being driven and more drivers wishing to keep their existing vehicles on the road for longer, workshops and garages will be kept busy. This means that it is of the upmost importance that technicians educate their customers on the benefits of regular servicing and proper maintenance to ensure that these vehicles remain in their best working condition, and of course to encourage repeat custom to the workshop.
