We strive for vibrant economical growth in South Africa and the African Continent. As per the “Competition Commission of South Africa, to ensure that small and medium-sized enterprises have an equitable opportunity to participate in the economy”, through recognition and by association with the Auto Network Accreditation.
This we align with the Competition Commission of South Africa’s purpose, “to promote and maintain competition and the efficiency, adaptability to develop our economy; provide customers with competitive prices and product choices; promote employment and advance the social and economic welfare of all South Africans.”
Auto Network is happy to share the resolution of our formal complaint logged with the Competition Commission:
Auto Network v Dotsure Insurance (2025JUL0037)
In the matter, Dotsure has agreed to remove any reference to RMI in its policies, current and future, and replace it with a new clause that reads as follows, “All services and repairs must be done by an industry-recognised specialist with full repair and service facilities.”
This is fantastic news for All our Members, in our on-going drive to seek recognition for your business.
We constantly lobby Government and Insurance to ensure our Accredited Auto Network Members participate in the RT Contracts and Insurance Warranty, Maintenance, Repair & Service Plans.
The value of Accreditation is also filtered down to the general public, with the man on the street also noticing your Accredited Auto Network Certificate, when displayed at your reception and customer waiting area.
This is a step in the right direction, and we note that most the insurance groups operate in a similar manner, so I want to assure All our members:
I shall personally get involved, as I have done in the past, where you apply to do insurance work with your Auto Network Certificate and hit possible obstacles.
Our on-going pledge is that you, an Auto Network Accredited member, receives industry recognition, as our members are specialists with full repair and service facilities.
Auto Network remains a business solution to the overlooked and to a large extend historically and currently disadvantaged businesses – Those who have the statutory requirements, equipment, tools and staff to professionally service the South African motoring needs.

About us
We offer accreditation for vehicle service centres, auto body shops (panel beaters) and auto spray painters.
Auto Network was created out of a need to have options and more focused business choices.
Auto Network has a Member-Business-Centric approach, so what do we do:
We offer business accreditation at affordable prices, with 3 levels that can be achieved, Silver, Gold or Platinum, depending on your business premises, equipment and staffing.
Auto Network’s relevant and current business accreditation will recognize and distinguish your business as more marketable to potential customers, the Insurance industry and tender/government related institutions/departments and RT contracts. The Operation Director of Auto Network, Erwin Stroebel, having worked in the Motor Industry for over 25 years, has extensive experience in what your business needs are, knowingly distinguishing Auto Network as a logical choice, focusing on being a needs solution.
Other than business accreditation, Auto Network also have add-on extras that will assist you in marketing, managing and growing your business.
Who can join Auto Network? Today we have more than 24 000 businesses in the Motor Industry sphere in South Africa, with only approximately a third being represented by other bodies. This leaves more than 70% unrepresented, either by choice or due to the current options being un-suitable or not financially viable. Auto Network identified this huge need in the market and wants to address the real needs of business in the Motor Industry with a workable and affordable solution.
