About this site

Device Add-In

RivCom and MUL are actively working with vehicle manufacturers, information providers in the automotive aftermarket and roadside assistance organisations to create a new repair information delivery framework for the sector. This site is a point of entry for business-to-business information on automotive aftermarket regulation and services, aimed at companies who needs information or advice on the availability of, and requirements for, information to support the diagnosis, repair, and servicing of passenger vehicles. It provides access to details of current information on European requirements for the supply of repair information to commercial end users in both the independent and franchised sectors, and to documentation on relevant standards, existing and in development.

AutoRepair.eu.com can help you with:

  • assessing the implications of EC regulation (including Euro 5) on repair documentation publishing lifecycles
  • developing tools to support end-to-end publishing of repair and training information
  • determining the feasibility of implementing new requirements and data structures
  • understanding the strategic options for end-user support and regulatory compliance
  • managing your information in a secure and cost-effective way
