Independent workshop owners collaborating at an AIAWA meet

About AIAWA

The unified voice for independent workshops.

A nationwide non-profit uniting India's multi-brand automobile workshops — for standards, knowledge, and trust.

Why we exist

India is racing toward the world's third-largest auto market.

The industry produced 22.93 million vehicles in 2021–22 and holds a strong position as the world's largest tractor and second-largest bus manufacturer. Independent service centres are the newest entrant — and the future of car care once a vehicle leaves warranty.

Individually, owners struggle to find the time and resources to act on industry-wide issues. Standardisation, government schemes, training, insurance tie-ups — these need a collective voice.

Hence the All India Automobile Workshops Association was born.
