More than 50% of automotive garages in the UK are running at half their normal capacity, according to a survey carried out by automotive aftermarket PR and marketing agency Impression.

The survey of garages was conducted to assess the current state of the marketplace as restrictions to halt the spread of the Coronavirus ease. It also found that 56% of garages are operating with a reduced workforce with the remainder of staff on furlough schemes, while overall 87% of garages said they had received government financial support.

In terms of new protocols, 85% of garages are carrying out vehicle sanitisation and 73% are offering Personal Protective Equipment for staff and customers. 30% of garages said they were now buying more parts online.
