Periodically changing the engine oil is vital for longevity of 2-wheelers and hence in the interest of consumer awareness around best practices and recommendations, we’re deeply integrating Shell’s range of products and services with our supply chain. This collaboration will help us in our endeavor to provide best in class service to our consumers and make the entire 2-wheeler servicing process more fluid, simple and enriching. We collectively aim to take a leap in customer outreach and turn this association into a mutually benefiting one. Along with training programs and loyalty schemes specially designed for DrivoJoy mechanics, this alliance will also engender several other opportunities towards unification of the 2-wheeler aftersales ecosystem“
