Point S UK has unveiled ambitious plans to construct the country’s largest independent automotive service network by 2035.
Ali Yilmaz, managing director of Point S UK, told the network’s annual conference that he believes opportunities for growth have never been greater and that recent market exits have presented a ‘fertile planting ground’ for growth.
Point S International already claims to be the world’s largest independent tyre dealer and vehicle maintenance network, present in 51 countries on five continents.
Live within the UK since 2011, the British network now has greater than 340 points of sale and, it says, is growing rapidly as independent maintenance centres seek latest revenue streams amidst electrification challenges.
“There’s never been a greater time to expand our UK network of independent automotive service providers,” explained Yilmaz.
“The independent sector already represents roughly one-third of the UK market and continues to grow.
“We’re observing repair centres evolving their business models in response to electrification.
“With electric vehicles requiring less mechanical servicing, many workshops are specializing in tyres, diagnostics, and other forms of auto maintenance as their future profit centres.”
Yilmaz believes Point S UK has been left in a favourable position following recent contractions from competitors in the standard tyre retail market.
“In today’s digital landscape, customers increasingly value friendly, personal, and convenient in-person service,” continued Yilmaz.
“Vehicles represent one among life’s most important investments, and folks want to ascertain trust with those safeguarding these assets.
“The UK market presents exceptional growth opportunities for Point S to expand and turn out to be the nation’s largest automotive service network.”
In the course of the conference, Yilmaz also announced a number of other initiatives that can aid the network’s growth ambitions in 2025, including a serious latest product launch, further customer events, and continued innovation for the prevailing Point S tyre range and network programme.
