Point S aims to be the UK’s largest independent service provider by 2035
Point S International, which is present in 51 countries across five continents, claims to be the largest independent vehicle maintenance and tyre dealer network in the world.
Live in the UK since 2011, the British network now has more than 340 points of sale and, it says, is growing rapidly as independent maintenance centres seek new revenue streams amidst electrification challenges.
“There’s never been a better time to expand our UK network of independent automotive service providers,” explained Yilmaz. The independent sector represents about one-third the UK market, and it continues to grow. We’re seeing repair centres adapt their business models to the electrification.
“With electric vehicles requiring less mechanical servicing, many workshops are focusing on tyres, diagnostics, and other forms of vehicle 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 traditional tyre retail market. In today’s digital world, customers are increasingly looking for friendly, convenient, and personal in-person services. “Vehicles are one of the most important investments in life, and people need to trust those who look after them.”
“The UK market presents exceptional growth opportunities for Point S to expand and become the nation’s largest automotive service network.”
During the conference, Yilmaz also announced a host of other initiatives that will aid the network’s growth ambitions in 2025, including a major new product launch, further customer events, and continued innovation for the existing Point S tyre range and network programme.
