UK’s vehicle repair hotspots revealed by Revive

The UK’s vehicle repair hotspots have been revealed, according to Revive Auto Innovations.

It analysed more than 20,000 jobs conducted over the past year to discover where their technicians performed the most repairs.

Its vehicle repair experts conducted 1,771 jobs in Cambridge, over 200 more than the next region, Guildford, which saw Revive complete 1,543 jobs.

“Using data collected across more than 50 franchises nationwide, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands, our booking data offers an interesting indication of the areas in the UK where motorists are most prone to sustaining damage to their vehicle,” said Mark Llewellyn, managing director at Revive.

“Road conditions, the number of vehicles on the road, driving behaviours and even car cleaning habits have all contributed to certain towns and cities being ranked as vehicle repair hotspots.”

Lincoln, Portsmouth and High Wycombe also feature in the top five vehicle repair hotspots, with Revive technicians being called out on 1,246, 1,200 and 1,164 occasions in 2023, respectively.

Nathan Holmes, owner of Revive Cambridge, said: “Many of our repairs are conducted on a mobile basis, which we have found to be a particularly convenient option for rural or remote communities living outside of Cambridge – who would otherwise have had to take a large portion out of their day to take their car to a body shop.”
