Invest in Auto Service

In the current landscape of the automotive industry, the timing is impeccably right for aspiring entrepreneurs to delve into the auto repair business. The combination of market readiness, transformative changes in the industry and Bosch's entry into the workshop franchise market creates an ideal moment to collaborate and become part of the first truly modern franchise.

The Time is Right

Though running an auto repair shop has been successful for many owners for decades, now is a great time to invest in the automotive aftermarket. Currently being worth $374 billion¹ and expected to surpass $400 billion by 2025, the aftermarket boasts a large and expanding total addressable market, offering abundant opportunities for growth and profitability. Ultimately, the addressable market is based off the number of vehicles on the road, not the number of car sales. According to the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) the U.S. aftermarket has grown 4% from last year with a compound annual growth rate of nearly 6% projected through 2026.

This colossal market size signifies immense potential and suggests the automotive aftermarket is a lucrative space for those looking to capitalize on this industry.

Furthermore, vehicle age hit an all-time high in 2022² and is expected to incrementally increase through 2026, putting vehicle ages around the 8-11 year mark, a sweet spot in the automotive aftermarket. With aging vehicles comes more service.

Recession Resilient & Long-Term Stability

While in recessions consumers are more likely to fix their broken vehicle than replace it, along with delaying discretionary purchases. This stresses the importance of reliable auto repair shops for consumers. During major crises, such as the recession of 2007 to 2009³ (when GDP plummeted 4.3%) and during the Covid-19 pandemic, auto part and service providers saw revenue increases and growth⁴, facing challenges in supply chain and inventory, not consumer demand.

Owners are Ready to Sell

Independent auto repair shop owners who have been in business for decades are looking to retire⁵. This gives investors the opportunity to buy a profitable business, implement current industry technology and improve upon the already successful shop.

Industry Changes Create Opportunity

The automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles, creating new avenues for innovation and market expansion. Electric vehicles (EVs) taking more share of vehicles on the road and with EVs comes sophisticated technology. As vehicle technology increases in complexity current shop owners struggle to keep up with the ever-changing technological demands. Bosch can bring industry knowledge, tools, equipment partnerships, modern technology, and systematic processes to investors ready to enter the market.

The Future of Mobility is with Bosch

The evolution of automotive mobility is expected to continue to accelerate and be influenced by many factors. This future is technologically advanced, streamlined, and rapidly changing so long as the technology keeps improving. Car sharing, leasing, ride hailing, fleet business and the emergence of new vehicle manufacturers are all shifting the repair decisions away from consumers and into the hands of corporations that manage them. Instead of building their own repair locations these companies are leaning towards industry leaders such as Bosch to be their recommended service partner. The risk of partnering with any franchise that does standard repair does not account for evolving vehicle complexities, increased electrification, and demand for quality assurances. This points mobility companies to look towards a trusted industry giant such as Bosch as a preferred service partner. They need a partner with a legacy rooted in technological innovation who continues to push the industry forward, a truly modern franchise.
