Core Diagnostics invests in BYD repair capability

Fresh off the back of a successful Auto Trade EXPO 2024, Core Diagnostics has made a major investment in OE workshop tools for BYD vehicles as the Chinese brand’s share of the EV market continues to grow across Ireland and the UK.

According to Core Diagnostics, this investment in equipment and software allows the company to offer in-house remote repair solutions for BYD, including programming, coding and ADAS calibrations, without any reliance on third parties.

With the unique ability to complete all of the support tickets it receives in-house, Core Diagnostics says it has been able to eliminate waiting times and support queues, so ultimately customers benefit from faster repair solutions. Additionally, managing the entire process in-house ensures full traceability at every step.

The company adds that investment is already paying off as the volume of support tickets it receives for BYD vehicles continues to increase month by month as more of the Chinese brand’s models hit Irish roads.

Globally, BYD sold over three million vehicles between 2020 and 2023, with aggressive pricing combined with a rapid expansion of its retailer network proving fruitful.

The brand sold a total of 530 units in Ireland last year, and has more than doubled this number so far in 2024 with 1,370 cars sold year-to-date. BYD currently has four models available in Ireland, with the Seal its best-seller here this year.

Having had the foresight to anticipate this growth and invest in the infrastructure to provide a fully in-house remote repair solution for BYD, Core Diagnostics says it is once again demonstrating why it is a leading provider of remote diagnostic services.
