With its 16,000 workshops spread across 150 countries, Bosch Car Service (BCS) is the largest chain of independent multibrand car workshops in the world. BOSCH is a name that has come to be associated with novel technologies and revolutionary inventions. This rise to prominence has occurred over the course of more than 125 years.
In 1886, Robert Bosch launched a Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering in Stuttgart. This was the genesis of a Group that would become a world leader. The company carried out all the precision mechanical and electrical engineering work that were needed by its customers. Some examples of these are installation of telephone systems and electric bells. When he was asked to manufacture a magneto ignition for a stationary engine based on an existing model, Robert Bosch perfected it. And thus began the production of magneto ignition. From 1897, BOSCH began to equip automobiles with better optimised ignition. It was the only automotive manufacturer to offer truly reliable ignition systems. In 1902, BOSCH’s design engineer, Gottlob Honold, improved the design of low-voltage magneto and developed the first high-voltage ignition magneto system equipped with BOSCH spark plugs. This new product propelled BOSCH, which subsequently became a leading international automotive supplier. In 2004, BOSCH has become the largest automotive supplier. It is a first for the company. Its “Automotive Equipment” department, the first in the Group, reaches 26 billion euros in sales (61.9% of the total business turnover in 2005). Today, the Group adopts a global strategy based on mobility. BOSCH innovates in the areas of connected mobility, automated mobility, powertrains and electric mobility. These technologies are adapted for passenger cars, but also for off-road applications, two-wheelers, as well as maritime and rail transport.
Backed by its expertise, BOSCH quite naturally launches BOSCH CAR SERVICE. Who better than the inventor of automotive technologies can offer high quality repair and maintenance assistance for vehicles? BOSCH CAR SERVICE is based on the company’s recognised know-how; genuine quality spare parts, with which most makes and models of cars are originally equipped; state-of-the-art intervention technologies; a local network of car workshops; and a high-end customer care and support service, powered by the latest digital technology.
