Hardly a day goes by now without some new announcement or revelation about electric cars or self-driving vehicles. How will this impact the motor vehicle servicing and repair sector in the medium to long term? During that period, those working in the service and repair sector found themselves having to acquire knowledge and skills in line with the new technology in the vehicles.
