Revive Auto Innovations, a leading independent provider of smart repairs to the automotive industry, has reported a year of strong commercial growth despite external market pressures.

Revive grew sales and market share in 2024

The business delivered just under £24m in network sales during 2024, up 13% year-on-year. It also continued to expand its market share, completing approximately 270,000 bodywork and alloy wheel repairs over the 12-month period, comprising 63% bodywork and 27% alloy wheels.

That’s despite a large number of dealer group acquisitions that’s forced many dealerships to reassess their bodywork and alloy wheel repair operations, while the rising cost of living has seen UK motorists reduce non-essential household spend.

Revive specialises in mobile repairs for vehicle bodywork and alloy wheels for car dealerships, cosmetic insurers, fleets and the general public.

It runs more than 50 franchisees nationwide and over 220 technicians, cited as the largest network of IMI-accredited automotive professionals in the UK. Last year saw the firm expand its coverage across the UK and recruit 48 new technicians to its network, while the company also injected more than £2m in training, vehicles, equipment and supplies.

Mark Llewellyn, managing director (sales and marketing) at Revive, said: “2024 has been a challenging year for the automotive sector – there is no doubt. But Revive has successfully tackled the challenge head-on by working closer with our customers to provide an even better service.”
