Vehicle repair volumes were at 93% of 2019 levels for June, finishing with 137,000 repairs for the month, according to Trend Tracker.
Based on Audatex data, the insight shows a 20% month-on-month (May 2021 Vs June 2021) uplift in repair volumes.
Trend Tracker had predicted an increase in repair volumes, reflecting the tracked information about traffic levels being almost back to pre-pandemic levels.
Paul Sell, Associate Director of Industry Insights, new owners of Trend Tracker, said, “With traffic patterns being different it was hard to accurately forecast and 93% of June 2019 was at optimistic levels.
“Could June be the start of the bounce-back the industry needs, a summer spike or the start of the new normal?”
Trend Tracker is producing a brand-new series of quarterly detailed industry reports, the first of which entitled ‘Emerging from COVID-19’ is now out.
