Jawa Dealerships To Open Amid COVID-19 Lockdown

After Honda, Jawa has also decided to reopen its dealerships and workshops across India. According to sources, it has already started around 20 to 25 dealerships in select cities after securing permission from local authorities. The bikemaker will follow a set of social distancing and sanitisation protocols for the safety of all those involved. Jawa also plans to offer contactless services to its customers to reduce the need for dealership visits. 

For starters, representatives would visit customers on an appointment basis. Jawa will also provide digital support to potential customers through phone, WhatsApp and email with the option of completing the entire documentation process online. The bikemaker will also offer doorstep test rides and deliveries of its bikes like Harley-Davidson. 

The dealerships and workshops along with the display and test ride motorcycles would be sanitised at regular intervals. Jawa will train its staff on following the safety guidelines. Employees and customers will be subject to thermal screening before entering the showroom or workshop.

We have reached out to Jawa for its plans on resuming production at the Pithampur factory and will update you as soon as we hear from them. Jawa has been struggling to cope with the demand for its Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two motorcycles leading to long waiting lists. Jawa did ramp up production to reduce the waiting time, but we reckon the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown could push it even further.
