AutoRepairGroup Carrosserie

What AutoRepairGroup Carrosserie does

AutoRepairGroup Carrosserie is a Belgian multi-brand vehicle body repair specialist operating 14 owned repair centers distributed across Flanders, Wallonia, and the Brussels periphery. Founded in 1984 and jointly operated by two Belgian private limited companies — Care Carrosserie BV and AFRIMA BV, both headquartered at Neringenweg 44, 3001 Heverlee — the business serves 40,000+ vehicle owners per year with a unified suite of services: multi-brand bodywork, paint and dent repair (including paintless dent repair), hail damage repair, CNC diamond-cut rim restoration, wheel alignment, electric vehicle repair, and ADAS calibration of cameras, sensors, LiDAR and radar systems using Texa IDC5, Hella Gutmann, AsTech, and OEM diagnostic software with a claimed 99.4% immediate post-repair recalibration rate.

The company's core technology platform is its in-house ADAS calibration and pre/post-scan diagnostics capability, supported by specialized mechanical equipment such as CNC-controlled rim lathes and paintless dent repair tooling. Operations are accredited by all major Belgian insurance companies (AG, Allianz, Axa, Ethias, KBC, Baloise, Belfius, DVV, Federale, Vivium, Yuzzu, P&V, Foyer, MS Amlin, Argenta, PNP, TVM, Amma) and leasing/fleet operators (Arval, Athlon, Ayvens, Leasys, Lizy, Alphabet, Belfius Autolease, KBC Autolease, Ciac Fleet), giving the business dual-channel demand.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance-covered repair work billed under framework agreements, supplemented by leasing/fleet company work and out-of-pocket repairs. Non-covered customers pay a EUR 75 quotation fee (rebated against the final invoice) plus 30% cancellation fees if they withdraw. The company offers a 3-year warranty on body repairs (Eurogarant standard), 6 months on headlight polishing, a large replacement vehicle fleet (subject to insurer terms), and complementary loan bicycles. Distribution combines 14 physical centers, online appointment booking, a tri-lingual website, a phone contact center, and partner-driven referrals from insurer and leasing channels.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Speedy France: French national automotive service chain. Comparable multi-site service model; relevant as a regional blueprint for what scaled European auto-services consolidation looks like.

Broad incumbents

• Norauto: French-origin pan-European automotive service chain with Belgian presence. Comparable multi-site retail service model but broader scope than pure bodywork.
• Vakgarage: Largest Dutch multi-brand automotive service franchise network. Overlaps with AutoRepairGroup on general repair/maintenance but covers a broader service portfolio beyond bodywork.
• Midas: European multi-site automotive service franchise (exhaust, brakes, maintenance). Comparable scale and franchise-driven GTM, though narrower in body repair depth.

Direct peers

• Fix Auto: Global collision repair franchise with European presence. Closely comparable multi-brand body shop model targeting insurer-direct work and DRP networks.
• Acoat Selected: European network of certified body repair shops. Directly comparable on multi-brand bodywork, insurer-direct billing, and standardized quality systems.
• Carglass (Belron Group): Part of global Belron/Safelite group, Carglass is the dominant collision and glass repair network in Belgium and Europe. Directly comparable multi-site body repair model with national insurer relationships.
• SchadeNet: Dutch/Benelux body repair network with insurer framework agreements. Closely comparable on multi-site bodywork and direct billing model in the same Benelux region.

Others

• LeasePlan (now Ayvens) Fleet Repair Network: Major leasing/fleet partner of AutoRepairGroup. Operates preferred repair routing for its fleet — comparable only as a channel partner / customer, not a direct competitor in body repair itself.

Emerging players

• AG Care (AG Insurance): Captive preferred-shop initiative by AG Insurance, an AutoRepairGroup partner. Represents the insurer-builds-their-own-network threat that could erode framework volumes.
