MotorServ UK, formerly the largest independent garage in Solihull, has been acquired by Dack Motor Group in a strategic move designed to stabilise operations and protect jobs amid a downturn in the automotive sector.
Established in 2014, MotorServ UK grew to a £9.3m turnover business by 2022, offering MOTs, servicing, and community-focused initiatives. However, an 85% drop in used car transactions in 2023 and a 45% decline in servicing revenue over two years forced a shift in direction. The founder has exited the business, triggering the sale.
The Solihull site will continue operating under Dack Motor Group, which already runs facilities in Lincoln, Northampton, and Coventry. Dack plans to integrate the new site with upgraded systems and processes, and a rebrand is expected.
As part of the acquisition, all jobs at MotorServ UK are being retained, and further roles may be created under the new ownership. Once the transition is complete, MotorServ UK Ltd will be formally liquidated, with Dack assuming all staff and assets.
