Additional remarks:
IRS Group offers comprehensive vehicle repair services from a single source. Technological advancements like digitalization and electric mobility require high investments in skills and equipment—IRS meets these demands with bundled expertise, efficient processes, and qualified teams across all locations.
We prioritize sustainability through the principle “repair before renewal”, using Smart Repair methods to professionally restore parts instead of replacing them. This reduces costs, preserves vehicle value, and minimizes environmental impact.
In our body shops, we reduce paint waste by applying precise technologies and optimized workflows, ensuring resource-efficient operations.
