With proven performance across existing hubs, ADSC offers franchise owners a ready ecosystem with demand, systems, and deep auto expertise
AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT | 10th MARCH 2026 — India’s fast-growing automotive service business is seeing a quiet shift. In a largely unorganised sector, ACKO Drive Service Centers’ technology-led model is bringing reliable service and state-of-the-art infrastructure to four-wheeler and two-wheeler owners through a pan-India presence. Having witnessed strong customer response and revenue, ACKO is now looking to expand across the country through franchise partners and is engaging with entrepreneurs interested in building professionally managed car service businesses.
The expansion comes at a time when India’s automotive and after-sales ecosystem continues to offer strong long-term livelihood opportunities. With over 3.11 crore registered vehicles in Ahmedabad and 61.93 lakh vehicles added in FY 2024–25 alone, the city offers a large and steadily expanding base for organised, technology-led auto service businesses. However, the after-sales market remains fragmented, with customers often navigating inconsistent service quality, unclear pricing, variable parts availability and uneven workshop processes. The ACKO Drive Service Centres have been designed to address these long-standing gaps through a common operating framework that combines workshop process standardisation, digital job management, service visibility and centralised support systems.
ACKO says the strongest proof point for the ADSC model is the operating performance of its existing centers. Existing ADSC centers are seeing average monthly revenue of about ₹50 lakh per center, with 75% of total jobs/demand generated through ACKO’s insurance customer, helping create a more predictable customer flow. This ecosystem-led demand support has helped centers ramp up utilization faster, while customer experience metrics have also supported business stability, with existing ADSC centers reporting a customer satisfaction / NPS score of 75+. The company says this combination of demand visibility, service transparency and process consistency has contributed to encouraging unit economics, with ADSC centers taking an average of 8-10 months to reach operational break-even.
ACKO is also the preferred business partner for all the automobile manufacturers in India, ensuring verified parts and service at all the ACKO Drive Service centers. This enables franchise owners to have a plug-and-play operating model that reduces the complexity of building an auto service business from scratch and allows them to focus on local execution, and team management, while the expertise, demand and support comes primarily from ACKO. This makes ADSC relevant for a wide range of operators from young entrepreneurs looking to run a growing, proven business, as well as established garage and service center owners seeking to scale through a more organized and technology-led format.
The company adds that a key part of the ADSC proposition is customer transparency: the model is designed to offer a more visible and trackable service journey than the “black box” experience often associated with local garages, while remaining a cost-conscious alternative to many OEM workshops. ACKO says this combination of transparency, process discipline and service quality helps build trust and repeatability, supporting stronger business outcomes for center operators.
Vivek Sharma, Head of ACKO Drive Service Centers said, “India’s auto after-sales market is a large and growing opportunity, but workshop businesses often struggle with fragmented operations and inconsistent demand. At ADSC, we have focused on building a technology-led operating model with standardization, training & parts support, and strong service processes. Our existing service centers have provided our franchise partners with a strong business revenue, repeat customers, and a quick break-even timeline, giving us the confidence to expand across the country”.
Aaikya Vakil, ADSC partner in Ahmedabad, said, “The biggest difference has been the structure. ADSC brings systems, process discipline and operational support, and that has helped us run the center more efficiently and scale with greater confidence. More than half of the revenue comes directly from ACKO’s insurance customers, which provides peace of mind and the confidence to grow my business even further.”
ACKO said it is currently accepting business/franchise enquiries from entrepreneurs, operators and investors interested in setting up professionally managed car service centers in their cities.
