Schaeffler and ALLDATA to cooperate: REPXPERT garage portal supplies independent garages even better with OEM repair data

Cooperation supports partner garages in planning and carrying out repairs

Special offer for REPXPERT users provides access to current ALLDATA repair information and procedures directly from the manufacturer

Cooperation starts in Great Britain, other countries to follow

Schaeffler's Automotive Aftermarket division and the database and repair software provider ALLDATA are launching their collaboration on the REPXPERT garage portal in the UK. In a first step, REPXPERT partner garages in the UK get a special ALLDATA offer to access an even wider range of original equipment manufacturer repair data and instructions in future.

The constantly increasing number of functions and assistance systems in modern vehicles is also increasing the complexity of vehicle infrastructure. As a reliable global partner, ALLDATA ensures greater dependability with its extensive database, that also includes OEM reference times.

REPXPERT partner garages benefit in several ways: not only can service and repair work be planned more efficiently and carried out faster, but by using ALLDATA they have access to the latest repair information from the manufacturers, covering over 95 percent of all vehicles currently on our roads. Part of the paid-for information offering are repair guides, diagnostic codes and more than six million technical drawings and wiring diagrams, including illustrations of electrical connections. When purchasing an ALLDATA license via the REPXPERT portal, users receive an additional 5,000 REPXPERT bonus points which can in turn be invested into garage equipment, special tools, and merchandise. In addition, ALLDATA provides up to three accesses for REPXPERT users, so that the license can be used simultaneously by several mechanics. This offer runs until the end of the year.

Aim of the cooperation: Supporting garages even more in their work

“We are currently experiencing a technological shift in the automotive industry, with garages now dealing with increasingly complex service and repair work, so the need for well-prepared information and practical tips is high. The aim of REPXPERT's service offer is to provide the most comprehensive coverage possible. ALLDATA's solution complements our existing offering in the UK, so we are happy to recommend it to garages that install our Schaeffler repair solutions but also other spare parts," says Sven-Olev Müller, Head of Schaeffler REPXPERT.

"We are delighted to have found a renowned partner in the global spare parts business in Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket. The cooperation not only enables us to support REPXPERT users, but also helps us to further expand our own offering and benefit from each other's expertise," says Karol A. Englert, Managing Director ALLDATA.

ALLDATA available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland soon

To ensure that the more than 18,000 REPXPERT users in Germany, Austria and Switzerland can also benefit from the information on offer, Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket is planning to expand the cooperation with ALLDATA in the future. ALLDATA will also be promoted on the REPXPERT portal in the DACH region over the course of next year.

ALLDATA is a trusted source when it comes to diagnostic, repair and estimating software for the professional automotive service industry. The database of automotive information and business management tools is used by over 400,000 automotive mechanics and mechatronics worldwide. Since 1996, the company has been a subsidiary of AutoZone, the largest automotive aftermarket retailer in the US, based in Memphis, Tennessee.
