Point S UK is set to reach 400 members by the end of 2025, up from over 340+ earlier this year. This growth accelerates progress toward its 2035 goal of becoming the UK’s largest independent automotive service network.
Network Delivering on Promise to Become the UK’s Largest Independent Scheme
Point S UK is on track to reach 400 members by the end of 2025. This represents significant growth that underscores the network’s commitment to becoming the UK’s largest independent automotive service provider by 2035.
The milestone demonstrates substantial progress from the network’s 340 points of sale as of earlier this year. Managing Director Ali Yilmaz credits the growth to market exits and the evolving needs of independent repair centres adapting to electrification.
“This growth trajectory validates our belief that there’s never been a better time to expand our UK network,” commented Yilmaz.
“While many franchised networks have contracted, we’ve bucked the trend by achieving substantial growth in both our member base and services.”
Point S Expansion Driven by Market Shifts and EV Transition
The expansion comes during what Yilmaz describes as a “fertile planting ground” for growth. Competitors are exiting the market as independent workshops evolve their business models. Electric vehicles require less mechanical servicing. Many repair centres now focus on tyres, diagnostics, and tailored maintenance as future profit centres. These services align perfectly with Point S’s offerings.
Point S UK reinforced its momentum by ranking third in the 2025 Tyres & Accessories listing, marking its first appearance. The network has also strengthened its infrastructure with key appointments. This includes Andrew Brooks as Logistics Manager, David Flood as Sales Manager South, and Business Development Managers Luke Ashford and Scott Jones.
“Our members are thriving in a challenging marketplace through traditional family values, exceptional customer relationships, and the highest levels of professionalism,” added Yilmaz.
“The independent sector already represents approximately one-third of the UK market and continues to grow. We’re positioned perfectly to support these unsung heroes of the aftermarket through the strength and breadth of our national network, backed by international credentials.”
Independent Networks Gaining Customer Trust
The network’s rapid expansion in the UK reflects broader industry trends. Customers increasingly value Independent service providers for friendly, personal, and convenient service.
