"While it is true that there are problems with new cars, also now people are keeping used cars and giving them maintenance," he said.

However, he stressed that in order to take advantage of these opportunities, it is necessary for small and medium-sized companies to comply with aspects such as certifications, training of their personnel and improvement in the service.

"What we want is to take them by the hand so that they become competitive companies and can be suppliers of these important sectors," said the president of the Automotive Cluster, after arguing that the time containers are taking and the high cost of freight maritime forced many companies to look for suppliers as close as possible.
