Renault Group acquired Fixter, a London, UK-based startup specializing in the digitization of vehicle maintenance.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
This acquisition is part of a strategy to develop innovative digital tools for the Independent After Market (IAM) in Europe, for both retail and professional customers. Fixter’s development will continue in the United Kingdom, and in the second half of 2022 in France with the support of the network and in other European countries in the years to come.
Founded in London in 2017 by Limvirak Chea, Frédéric Dermer and Cristian Vrabie, Fixter provides a digital platform which connects retail and professional customers to local garages for vehicle maintenance across all brands. Users benefit from all car maintenance services without leaving their homes. Fixter takes care of making appointments online, preparing quotes, collecting the vehicle from home and taking it to the group’s partner network, invoicing, after-sales service and repair guarantees.
In the independent after-sales market, Fixter will benefit from the support of the multi-brand network of “Motrio” garages (2,500 sites in Europe), the expertise and digital services of Renault Group and the innovative financial services of “Mobilize Financial Services”
