STELLANTIS NAMED BODYSHOP’S VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OF THE YEAR FOR THE THIRD YEAR RUNNING

Stellantis has been named ‘Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year’ at the bodyshop Awards 2023. This is the third consecutive year that Stellantis has won the prestigious award.

Stellantis saw off competition from other finalists, BMW and Toyota to win the award, judged by a panel of seven experts.

The Manufacturer of the Year category is judged based on the strength of the overall programme of the nominees’ own Approved Repairer Network as well as benefit for Insurers, Work Providers and Accident Management Companies.

Stellantis was named the winner again thanks to its continued development of its multi-brand programme, business management training courses, PR and communications initiatives, including forums, and the integration of the group’s Distrigo and Eurorepar Car Service adding value to repairers.

Bodyshop Magazine editor Simon Wait said: “It was another hotly contested battle in the Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year category for this year’s Bodyshop Awards, and for Stellantis to win over our independent panel of expert judges for the third year in a row shows they are continuing to build on the great foundations they have laid down within their approved repairer network.”

Chris Downing, Head of Accident Repair at Stellantis, said: “I am incredibly proud that Stellantis has been named winner of bodyshop magazine’s ‘Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year’ award for a third year running. Once again, we came up against some tough competition, it is great to see our programme being rewarded and to win three times in a row is an amazing achievement.  We strive to be progressive in this sector and give our customers a first-class experience during what is often a difficult time.  There are lots more plans and developments on the horizon to become even better, so watch this space!”
