Independent garage owners are realising that while they may have the skills, tools and expertise, they have often lagged behind in the digital customer journey.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRampUp closes that gap, but it does so on the garage&#8217;s terms. It\u2019s about giving independents the digital firepower to compete, without disrupting what makes their business work.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new solution called RampUp has been developed to help independent repairers to retain all profits from online bookings by bypassing commission-based platforms.
