Repair estimate volumes in the UK dipped in December as Plan B restrictions imposed by the government in response to the omicron variant of Covid-19 took their toll.

According to Trend Tracker’s latest report, based on data from Audatex, volumes in December were down on November’s figures and 88% of volumes reported in December 2019.

Across the year, there were 423,000 fewer repairs than in 2019, with Trend Tracker estimating that the ‘new normal’ will be at about 86% of pre-pandemic levels.

Trend Tracker is now compiling a wide-ranging report which will assess 2021 statistics in greater detail, while also looking ahead to the trends, risks, and opportunities that may be presented in 2022.
