“We are forced to send it away, reluctantly, customers from morning to evening: they are in the workshop to do the service. But we remain open to only emergency repairs”: is Fabrizio Guidi, president of colossal AsconAuto (23 Consortia, 923 Auto Dealers with 1.757 operating offices with warehouses of spare parts, 91 represented brands, 21.359 garages located in 88 Provinces and 17 Regions) to take stock of the situation. Explaining that the world of the dealer has never been so united, but of course never so difficult.
“Already before the last decree of the Government – continues to Guide – many of the Dealerships of our Consortia had decided to close down its activities to the public to help fight the outbreak of coronavirus. But now we have the responsibility to hold open the workshops to ensure the repairs of the vehicles that have to move for necissita, from the relief logistics”.
To understand, AsConAuto collects more than 70 percent of the Italian concessionaires and every day 111 promoter and 436 employees with 331 vans, workers in the logistics network membership travel 63.636 miles to distribure the spare parts in Italy.
Now, however, it is estimated that 70 percent of the workshops related to the dealerships are closed. And that, in any case, the open – they only repair, not maintenance – are in trouble: shortage of masks for all employees, and it remains therefore open only to the emergency.
“The closure continues, Guidi – is a sign, undoubtedly, of great responsibility. A signal that the world of cars, noting that other priorities in this moment, he wanted to give. Now all efforts must converge on the commitment to reduce the opportunities of infection, and you can only do this by carefully following the directions that are being issued”.
The president of AsConAuto Fabrizio Guidi, pointed out that the recommendation comes precisely from those who, like the system of Consortia of distribution of original spare parts, it always offers a logistics service, throughout the national territory, which enables thousands of garages to not move from its place. A service that in these days will continue to operate, in full consistency with the provisions of the government Decree “as far as we are concerned,” concludes Guidi – we will give a further contribution in this sense, even with the effort we are making to equip the offices of our association with all of the new technologies that can foster connections online, for courses, meetings, training, making available not only the Members of the Dealers but also with our Network of Garages”.
“The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence”
