Vertu BYD Gloucester Secures Approved Repairer Status
Vertu BYD Gloucester has been named as part of the new Approved Repair Network introduced to the UK by the rapidly growing EV brand.
The dealership on Bristol Road is one of nearly 140 approved repair locations within the new network to meet the needs of the ever-growing number of BYD vehicles on UK roads.
Nearly 50,000 new BYD models had been registered in the first eight months of the year, an increase of 98% compared to the same period in 2025, giving the manufacturer a larger market share than a number of more established brands, including Renault, Citroen and Honda.
The new BYD Approved Repair Network has been launched alongside BYD’s six-year warranty and free road-side assistance for up to four years, helping to further enhance the owner experience.
Customers attending Vertu BYD Gloucester from across the local region will benefit from access to specialist repair expertise, genuine BYD parts and technicians who have undergone training in BYD repair processes.
Neil Hall, Group Bodyshop and Cosmetic Repair Director at Vertu, said: “As one of the first Vertu dealerships representing BYD, the team in Gloucester have seen first-hand how the brand has grown in popularity, with customer confidence reflected in the growing number of BYD vehicles we now see on UK roads.
“Being named as part of the new BYD Approved Repairer Network is an important milestone for the dealership, and demonstrates Vertu's ongoing commitment to providing customers with the best possible ownership experience
“Our experts are on hand to ensure that BYD owners from Gloucester and the surrounding area receive specialist support from technicians using genuine BYD parts and who have been trained to strict manufacturer standards.”
Bono Ge, BYD UK & Ireland Country Manager, said: “Customer confidence extends well beyond the moment a new vehicle is delivered.
“Our Approved Repair Network gives BYD owners access to repair specialists who understand our vehicles, our repair processes and the specific requirements of modern electric and DM-i vehicles.
“It is another important step in delivering a high-quality ownership experience.”
