Mekonomen 1,000!


Mekonomen  1,000!

FJ Biler a/s in Randers, Denmark becomes the 1,000th workshop to join the
Mekonomen concept.

“By joining Mekonomen Service Centre, the advantages gained include rapid
deliveries of spare parts, access to extensive technical support and in
particular, a fantastic stamp of quality,” says Lars Thomadsen, workshop owner. 

From the end of the year, the number of workshops affiliated with Mekonomen
increased from 778 to 1,000. The workshops, which are found throughout Sweden,
Norway and Denmark, provide high accessibility for consumers and operate under
the Mekonomen Service Centre brand or MekoPartner, with the same quality
requirements but with a somewhat different service offering. 

The choices for car owners in terms of service, repairs and spare parts
increased with the introduction of new EU regulations in 2003, which
strengthened the position of such brand-independent workshops as Mekonomen. The
EU regulations facilitate the execution of service and repairs by, for example,
Mekonomen on new cars that remain under new car warranty. This is on condition
that the service is performed in accordance with the car manufacturer's
specification and using original spare parts according to the EU's definition,
where quality is now crucial. Independent workshops are also entitled to receive
necessary technical information, equipment and special tools on par with
brand-based workshops.
