AAS Schadeherstel

What AAS Schadeherstel does

A.A.S. Schadeherstel is a Dutch cooperative (coöperatie) of approximately 95–105 independent car damage repair companies, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Breda. It operates as a franchise-like network in which member body shops retain local ownership while operating under the A.A.S. label, with 24/7 customer support (separate hotlines for autoschade and ruitschade), online damage reporting via form.aas.customercloud.nl, and a nationwide vestiging-zoeker (location finder) routing customers to the nearest branch.

The cooperative's product surface spans general autoschade (collision, hail, vandalism, bumper, alloy wheel), ruitschade (auto glass repair and replacement, with membership in the Glasgarant windshield network), specialized caravan/camper and motorcycle/scooter repair, and light/heavy commercial vehicle work. Three proprietary service brands anchor the offering: A.A.S. Dagherstel® (fixed-price same-day repair for small damages, e.g., €40 shallow scratch, €75 windshield star, €95 parking dent, €100/€180 headlamp polishing); Aantoonbaar Veilig Herstel, a 7-step certified safe-repair standard covering ADAS and sensor recalibration; and Bewust Groen Schadeherstel, a sustainability label applied across ~95–100 member shops. Trust signals include a standard 4-year BOVAG warranty and a 9/10 aggregate customer rating on Feedback Company.

A.A.S. earns through a hybrid model: the majority of repair revenue is insurance-settled (direct billing to the customer's insurer under partnerships with virtually all major Dutch insurers, including Avéro Achmea, Centraal Beheer, FBTO, Interpolis, ANWB/Unigarant, Nh1816, Allianz, Univé, VvAA, and ZLM, plus quality networks Schadegarant, Glasgarant, and Topherstel); direct-pay fixed-price Dagherstel transactions generate small-ticket consumer revenue; and the cooperative itself captures value via membership/label licensing, central procurement, training (Skills Heroes, AutoLab), and marketing services. A dedicated 'Zakelijke markt' B2B motion — including a Business Development Manager Fleet role — targets insurance, leasing, and fleet customers as a secondary segment.

Revenue model

1. Insurance-settled repair fees: Majority of revenue comes from repair work paid via customer insurance policies. A.A.S. works with almost all Dutch insurers, looks up coverage from the policy number, and bills the insurer directly. Includes hail, windshield, collision, and vandalism damage.
2. Direct-pay repair services (Dagherstel fixed price): Customer pays out-of-pocket for small fixes under the Dagherstel fixed-price scheme (€40 ondiepe kras, €75 sterretje in voorruit, €95 parkeerdeukje, €100/€180 koplampen polijsten). Same-day turnaround; pricing is published online.
3. Custom quote repair work: Larger damages (deuken met lakschade, diepe krassen, hagelschade, bumperschade, velgenreparatie, ruitschade replacement) priced via vrijblijvende prijsopgave at the local member shop.
4. B2B / fleet & leasing services: Revenue from insurance companies, leasing firms, and fleet managers via the dedicated 'Zakelijke markt' program; includes extended customer satisfaction programs and NPS measurement beyond standard metrics.
5. Cooperative membership / label licensing: Indirect revenue via cooperative structure: independent shops pay to be part of the A.A.S. brand, benefit from centralized marketing, supplier agreements, training (Skills Heroes/AutoLab), and customer flow.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Stern: Large Dutch automotive dealer group providing sales, service, and body repair through dealer-owned locations. Competes for the same insurance-routed collision work but as part of a wider OEM-dealer portfolio.
• Kwik-Fit: Large European multi-brand automotive service chain with Dutch presence focused on tires, brakes, and general maintenance. Competes for adjacent service categories and shares the same consumer/insurer customer base as A.A.S.
• Carglass (Belron): Dominant European windshield repair and replacement specialist (part of Belron). Overlaps with A.A.S.'s ruitschade service line and competes for insurer-direct glass work, but does not offer broader collision/bodywork.
• AD (Autodistribution): European garage network and parts distributor with NL presence. Offers comparable workshop franchise support and parts-procurement benefits to independent shops, structurally similar to A.A.S.'s cooperative value proposition.
• Bosch Car Service: International workshop franchise network offering mechanical, diagnostic, and repair services. Comparable franchise/cooperative model but with a broader mechanical-repair focus rather than pure collision/bodywork specialization.

Regional players

• Halfords Autocentres: UK automotive service chain offering general repair and maintenance. Geographically separate from A.A.S. but provides a benchmark for centralized multi-branch automotive service operations targeting consumers and fleets.
• Star Service: French independent garage cooperative similar in structure to A.A.S. Operates in France rather than the Netherlands, but offers a directly comparable cooperative model for collision and general repair.

Direct peers

• Schadenet: Dutch nationwide cooperative of independent body shops — the closest direct competitor to A.A.S. Schadeherstel, offering the same franchise-like cooperative model to independent owners. Several shops have moved from Schadenet to A.A.S. (e.g., Century Groningen/Assen in Q1 2026).
• Vakgarage: Dutch cooperative of independent garages under a national brand, sharing the franchise-like cooperative structure with A.A.S. Focused more on general maintenance and mechanical repair than collision, but with overlapping consumer and B2B customers.
• Fix Auto: Global franchise network for collision repair with European presence. Operates a comparable franchise/cooperative model serving insurers and consumers, making it the closest international peer in business model and service offering.
