BYD opens 138‑site UK crash‑repair network

BYD has announced the launch of a UK‑wide, manufacturer‑approved crash‑repair network comprising 138 authorised centres. The network, built through a partnership with the Vizion Network, gives BYD owners access to trained technicians, genuine parts and approved repair methods, strengthening after‑sales support for the brand.

Key takeaways

• BYD’s network includes 138 approved crash‑repair centres across the UK.
• Partnership with Vizion Network ensures technicians meet BYD standards.
• Genuine BYD parts are supplied to all authorised sites.
• Repairs must follow manufacturer‑approved procedures.

Network scope and partnership

The new network covers 138 premises, from independent garages to franchised service bays. Each centre has been vetted by BYD and the Vizion Network to confirm compliance with the brand’s safety and quality criteria.

Vizion Network provides the organisational framework, handling technician training, parts logistics and audit processes. This collaboration creates a uniform service experience for BYD drivers regardless of location.

Benefits to BYD owners

Owners receive repairs carried out by technicians who have completed BYD‑specific training. The training covers vehicle anatomy, electric drivetrain safety and the correct use of diagnostic tools.

All parts used in the network are genuine BYD components, sourced directly from the manufacturer’s supply chain. Repairs follow BYD’s approved repair methods, helping to preserve warranty coverage and vehicle resale value.

Opportunities for UK dealers

Dealerships that join the network can attract a growing segment of electric‑vehicle owners seeking reliable post‑collision repairs. Participation may boost service bay utilisation and generate parts revenue from genuine BYD stock.

Being part of an approved network also enhances a dealer’s reputation for quality workmanship, which can be leveraged in marketing and customer‑retention strategies.

What this means for dealers

Dealers gain a clear pathway to service BYD vehicles, aligning with a brand that is expanding its UK market share. Access to genuine parts and standardized repair procedures reduces uncertainty around repair costs and warranty claims.

By meeting the network’s standards, dealers can differentiate themselves from non‑approved workshops, potentially attracting higher‑value customers and increasing profit margins on body‑shop work.
