These are truly lost customers
Sidney Locus, his young partner, remains optimistic for the future. But he recognizes that it will be necessary to stay at the cutting edge of technology. Which implies even more investments to repair hybrid and electric cars. He also specifies that the new environmental laws of certain cities have an impact on the customers of garages: “Particularly with the conditions of the low emissions zone. Among our customers, for example, we have people who are a little older or retired. When we tell them that they cannot or will no longer be able to drive their vehicle, they do not plan to buy a new car. They simply do not have the means to do so, nor to go electric. These are truly lost customers. In the future, we will indeed have a drop in traffic in our garage.“
Faced with rising prices, the challenge is significant for mechanics who also have a severe shortage of qualified labor. Faced with the reality and complexity of the market, small mechanics are the victims of all these factors. According to Traxio, the Belgian mobility sector federation, there are 100 new garages per year compared to 200 which cease their activity each year.
