We offer two different ways to join the Bosch Car Service network.
How to Start a Bosch Car Service
Our methods can be tailored to fit an existing location you currently manage, one that you have acquired, or the establishment of a new location. While each option involves a slightly different timeline and assessment process, all of them ultimately lead to the successful establishment of your very own Bosch Car Service.
1. Rebrand
A rebrand or workshop conversion is when a workshop chooses to rebrand their existing building into a Bosch Car Service. This is a quicker way to partner wirth us and is a great way to add value to your workshop. Our rebranding option offers full cycle support during the entire rebranding process as well as strategic guidance for workshop layout. Our branding options make the rebranding process simple by utilising tried and true Bosch design concepts and designs with only the highest caliber craftsmanship.
