South African Accounting Academy

The final Competition Commission’s Guidelines for Competition in the South African Automotive Aftermarket were issued on 29 January 2021.

The aim of the Automotive Guidelines is to promote competition in the automotive aftermarket, and specifically to promote economic access, inclusion and greater spread of ownership for Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDI).

Businesses should carefully consider the implications of the measures proposed by the Commission in the Automotive Guidelines on their franchise and dealer arrangements, and on their different services and product offerings pertaining to motor vehicle servicing, repair and/or maintenance.

Interestingly, the Automotive Guidelines do not apply to motorcycle dealers or finance and insurance institutions who provide products and services to participants in the motorcycle industry.
