GoMechanic Reports Turnaround; Says Annual Aggregate P&L Profitability Is The Next Goal

GoMechanic, one of India’s largest network of technology-enabled car service centres, today announced a turnaround in its core business of services in January. It is reported to have serviced 30,000 vehicles last month which is 70 per cent of the peak sales achieved in its entire existence achieved in July 2022. 

Company sources said they continue to see strong auto servicing volumes in most of its markets, with Delhi-NCR, contributing the most. Other top geographies are also showing good traction, sustaining the business on a month-on-month basis in terms of car servicing volumes. In a huge validation of the robustness of its business model and its relevant value proposition, 800+ workshops remain active in the network. It also added 3000 members to its Miles program which currently has 60,000 members.

According to official sources,” First and foremost we would like to thank each of our stakeholders who stayed with us through thick and thin, particularly the service center partners. The entire founding team remains focused on not just surmounting the formidable challenge before us but in ensuring a sustainable solution and not just a temporary quick fix. 

What is really heartening about these numbers is that these have been achieved despite us slashing the marketing costs substantially in January. The real goal we are focused on is achieving operational break-even and profitability at an aggregate, annual P&L level as soon as possible. The January numbers give us the required confidence.”

“We remain committed to empowering the largely underserved workforce of the unorganized Indian automotive service & repair industry. That is why we are continuing to invest substantially in the upskilling of auto service professionals through the NSDC partnership,” the source further added.

Deepak Singh Rawal, MD of the Cars Clinic in Noida, one of the partners in the network said,” My association started with them 3 years back. Till date have not had any issues with them. They have been helpful and supportive. There are ups and downs in any business that many organizations have overcome. We hope GoMechanic will be out of this situation soon and my support is with them.”

Seven year old GoMechanic is one of India’s largest network of technology-enabled car service centres having served 10 lakh+ (one million+) customers and 15 lakh+ (1.5 million+) cars in the last 7 years. It claims to have 800 car repair workshops employing 4000+ professionals across 20+ cities in India, including DelhiNCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Jaipur & Chennai, in its network currently.
