UK automotive repair platform FixMyCar has announced a partnership with Bosch to provide garages, mobile mechanics and dealerships across its network with direct access to Bosch's full range of training courses and technical services, as reported by Motor Trade News.

Under the agreement, network members will receive competitive pricing and dedicated access to Bosch's Automotive Training Solutions portal, which offers both online and in-person learning across four dedicated training centres in the UK and Ireland, located in Denham, Doncaster, Motherwell and Dublin.

The partnership prioritises skills in high-demand areas including electric vehicle maintenance and diagnostics, driver assistance systems and safety technology, alongside business skills such as customer service and social media.

Amanda Webb, CEO at FixMyCar, said the automotive sector's growing complexity makes structured training increasingly urgent. "The auto repair industry is facing many challenges with the rise of electric vehicles and increasingly complex technology in cars," she said. "Upskilling and training have never been more important for repairers and Bosch's training programme is at the forefront of practical, hands-on learning."

Kevin Kelly, country sales director for UK and Ireland at Bosch Mobility Aftermarket, said the collaboration builds on a six-year working relationship. "Lifelong learning and development are critical to the future success and competitiveness of independent repairers," he said. "By working together with FixMyCar we hope to simplify access and engagement with our comprehensive range of training courses and qualifications."

Bosch's courses include IMI Accredited programmes, providing repairers with recognised qualifications alongside practical skills development.
