Pitstop brings a new approach to car service

New Delhi, Mar 2 (UNI)Pitstop, India’s multi-brand car service provider, has grown on an average of 40% every month last year primarily due to the changing customer preference and usage patterns brought on by the pandemic.
As more customers want their car service done through an automated process and with high levels of safety and hygiene, demand for Pitstop’s at-home service grew significantly, the company said in a release here.
The number of women customers also grew from 5 to 23% during this period. Bengaluru’s IT corridors contributed to 60% of all orders. During this period, Pitstop added 30-35 garages to its roster every month. Another key development has been the increased procurement of spare parts by garages. Over 50% of the existing garage partners now source their spare parts from Pitstop.
The platform is also looking at a 40-50% growth per month since the lockdown to further “disrupt” the car service, repair, maintenance industry in India. Most people face a common problem when they give their care for service. They do not know what issues will be highlighted by the service personnel, how long it will take for the service and how much it will cost.
Usually, the mechanic gives a long list of things that are broken or needs replacement. Many do not understand and after failed efforts at bargaining, pay-up. India has more than 32 million cars. But there are only 8500 authorized service centers. Therefore, most car owners depend on neighborhood garages for taking care of their vehicles, visiting an authorized center only for major issues.
Most of these small garages are ill-equipped both in terms of technical capability as well as access to the latest machinery and equipment needed by modern cars. On the other hand, the authorized service centers are over-burdened and therefore focus on replace-over-repair.
Pitstop, India’s fastest growing multi-brand car service provider, has been solving all these problems for its customers by ushering in transparency and quality. Pitstop provides its customers with upfront pricing, automatic diagnostics, real-time updates and service warranty.
What the company does is segregate all services as those that can be done at home and those that need a garage. When regular service and maintenance is done at the home of the customer, it is saving time and money for the car owner while keeping the service bays at the garages free for more complex repair and maintenance. As the business model is built around the existing neighborhood garages, by training them, equipping their garages and ensuring real-time access to OEM spares, Pitstop helps professionalize and organize the industry.
“When I saw a void in the expectations vs reality scenario, I realized that there is a need for someone who could deliver convenience, transparency, quality and affordability. Pitstop is committed to quality and has over 2 lakh plus customers. Over 50% of our service calls are from returning customers, month on month,” said Mr. Mihir Mohan, Founder, Pitstop.
Pitstop has built a seamless platform with over 250 garages, where it helps garages upskill their technicians, procure genuine spare parts and provide consumers with a service warranty.
