DRIVEN AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS

Driven Automotive Solutions is a specialist automotive repair franchise operating within the non-structural repair and cosmetic vehicle services sector. The brand delivers high-quality, technology-led repair solutions to a broad mix of commercial and retail customers, helping vehicles return to the road quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.

Driven operates in the space between traditional bodyshops and mobile repair services, focusing on repairs that require technical accuracy, controlled environments, and repeatable processes, without the cost, waste, or downtime associated with full structural repair facilities. This positioning enables the business to meet the evolving demands of insurers, fleets, and mobility providers, while remaining accessible to retail customers.

Services

Driven Automotive Solutions provides specialist services to motor insurers, fleet operators, accident management companies, vehicle rental companies, and retail customers.

Core services include:

• Minor accident damage repairs (non-structural)
  Repair of light collision damage where structural integrity is unaffected, delivered efficiently while meeting safety, quality, and compliance standards.
• Cosmetic body repairs
  Including bumper repairs, dents, scuffs, scratches, and paint defects, using modern repair techniques designed to reduce repair time, material usage, and cost.
• Diamond cut and SMART alloy wheel repairs
  Specialist refurbishment of alloy wheels, including diamond cut finishes, restoring appearance without the need for full wheel replacement.
• ADAS recalibrations
  Accurate recalibration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems following repairs or windscreen replacement, ensuring vehicles meet manufacturer specifications and safety requirements.

These services are designed to support both high-volume commercial demand and margin-led retail work, creating flexibility and resilience at franchise level.

A Sustainable Operating Model

Driven Automotive Solutions operates one of the most sustainable repair models in its sector, built around the principle of repair over replacement.

By focusing on non-structural and cosmetic repairs, the Driven model:

• Reduces the need for full panel replacement
• Uses fewer new parts per repair
• Minimises paint usage and associated waste
• Lowers material consumption compared to traditional bodyshop repairs

This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also aligns with the priorities of insurers, fleets, and mobility providers seeking more sustainable repair outcomes without compromising quality or safety.

Sustainability is embedded into the operating model rather than treated as an add-on, supporting both environmental responsibility and strong unit economics.

Future-Ready and EV Prepared

Driven Automotive Solutions is future-ready, with an operating model designed to support the growing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Non-structural and cosmetic repairs, alloy refurbishment, and ADAS recalibration are all services that remain highly relevant as vehicle technology evolves. The Driven model avoids many of the complexities associated with high-voltage structural repair, while remaining aligned with modern vehicle architecture and safety systems.

This positions franchise partners to operate confidently in an increasingly electrified vehicle market, supported by training, processes, and equipment that reflect current and future industry requirements.

A Franchise Model Designed for Consistency and Scale

The Driven franchise model is built around systemised operations and defined service standards, enabling consistent delivery across multiple locations. Rather than relying on individual experience or ad-hoc decision-making, Driven embeds best practice into its operating framework.

Franchise partners benefit from:

• Structured onboarding and training
• Standardised workflows and repair protocols
• Central brand, marketing, and commercial support
• Clear performance metrics and reporting

This approach allows franchisees to focus on execution and growth, while maintaining operational control as volumes increase.

A Balanced Revenue Model

Driven Automotive Solutions franchises operate a diversified revenue mix.

Commercial customers—including insurers, fleets, accident management companies, and rental operators—provide predictable, repeatable work that improves capacity utilisation and cash-flow stability. Retail customers complement this base with higher-margin repairs, local brand visibility, and referral-driven growth.

This balance reduces reliance on any single customer type and supports sustainable unit economics across different market conditions.

The Franchise Opportunity

Driven Automotive Solutions offers franchise partners the opportunity to enter a specialist, growing automotive sector with a sustainable, future-ready operating model and a diversified customer base.

The franchise is suited to operators seeking a structured, process-led business, entrepreneurs looking for a supported route into the automotive sector, and experienced industry professionals aiming to scale beyond a single location.

As the brand expands, Driven remains focused on building a consistent, trusted, and responsible repair network, supported by franchise partners who are trained, supported, and positioned for long-term success.
