Two Decades of Driving Customer-Centric
Excellence in the Automotive Repair Industry.

In 2025 we proudly celebrate 20 years of EchoMBR - the industry’s trusted benchmark for measuring customer experience in the motor body repair (MBR) sector.

Since day one, our mission has been simple: make the voice of the customer visible, measurable, and actionable.

What started as a bold idea has become the industry’s most relied-upon customer feedback platform, helping repairers, service providers, and insurers drive continuous improvement and deliver outstanding service.
