Dack Motor Group has acquired Solihull-based MotorServ UK.
Kamran Saleem, MotorServ UK Founder, has stepped down and is existing the business. MotorServ UK will change name to reflect the new ownership but the business will operate in the same location, offering the same services, and staff will be retained.
Saleem said: “This has been an extremely tough decision but safeguarding jobs and maintaining the high level of service that our loyal customers expect, has been at the forefront of my mind.
“The challenges in the industry have made it increasingly difficult to operate independently, and allowing the business to join the larger Dack Motor Group is the most viable way forward for all parties.
“With Dack, not only are all the current jobs safeguarded but additional career opportunities will also be made available for support, service and technical staff. I have opted to pursue this opportunity with Dack Motor Group, because their business is run very well, is driving forward at a good rate of progress and is continuously expanding.”
A slump in consumer spending for car servicing, rising operational costs and the ongoing squeeze on new cars and parts supply, has placed immense pressure on independent businesses like MotorServ UK.
Smaller businesses have struggled to maintain sales conversion rates as vehicles remain on forecourts for longer.
Leo Dack of Dack Motor Group added: “We understand the challenges that businesses like MotorServ UK have faced in recent times.
“Our goal is to ensure stability for the team and to maintain the high standards of service that customers have come to rely on. We look forward to integrating MotorServ UK’s former location in Solihull, into our group and strengthening its position in the market”.
