Bosch Automotive Aftermarket has rolled out an expansion plan for its car service workshops across the region to ensure vehicles in the GCC remain roadworthy and in peak condition.
The world’s largest original-equipment parts manufacturer will add a further 32 Bosch Car Service workshops and 23 Express Car Service workshops across the six Gulf countries between now and 2015 bringing the total number of dedicated Bosch automotive aftermarket servicing centres to 110.
The automotive supplier will add five new facilities in Bahrain, taking the total number of workshops in the kingdom to seven by 2015.
Andreas Bodemer, vice president for Bosch Automotive Aftermarket, Middle East and Africa, said that in a region where many road accidents happen due to poor vehicle maintenance and failing spare parts, it is important to maintain exceptionally high standards for the automotive aftermarket sector.
“For us, the aftermarket is not only a market for spare parts; we feel responsible for the full value chain, including workshop test equipments, software solutions, training and hotline support. In short, we help workshops manage their daily challenges,” said Mr Bodemer.
The existing 50 Bosch Car Service workshops in the Gulf region currently service approximately 140,000 vehicles annually.
