Spring Garage Essentials available now

The Parts Alliance Spring Garage Essentials tools and equipment brochure is out now.

The glossy 68 page publication is already available from branches of The Parts Alliance members Allparts, Bromsgrove Motor Factors, Car Parts & Accessories, CES, GMF, SAS Autoparts, SC Motor Factors, Waterloo and GSF Car Parts.

The cover brings a series of unique offers including a new 1,000 lumen USB rechargeable LED inspection light from Unilite.

The Kheos Plus automatic R134a air con service station offers a great seasonal profit opportunity, whilst the SIP tempest hot pressure washer delivers Italian-made quality to ensure your premises gleam too.

Problem-solver hand tools from Laser, Angry Jester and Sealey are included along with a comprehensive range of lifts, tyre equipment and diagnostics.

Amongst new inclusions comes the TPMS Pro unit from Continental VDO. This handheld tool can activate, read and programme TPMS sensors, supporting independent garages looking to develop more revenue from this growing opportunity.

The Bendix Diagnostics and Service tool, exclusive to The Parts Alliance, also debuts. It offers super-fast performance and uses the latest mobile tablet with Bluetooth EOBD Dongle technology to offer live data, testing, coding and reset capabilities on a huge range of vehicles.

“With a launch price of just £1,095 + VAT the Bendix diagnostics tool has been selling fast already,” said John Wright, product marketing director at The Parts Alliance. “The European software pack and inclusion of 12 month UK-based phone support are proving to have strong appeal to lots of garages.”

With Automechanika Birmingham now weeks away on 5th to 7th June, the magazine highlights The Parts Alliance’s support for the event’s new ‘Garage Quarter’.

Before then, from 20 May it will become a legal requirement for all MOT stations to test petrol and diesel engines to new limits under Euro 6 legislation. All units capable of measuring to these lower levels will require updating. The back cover highlights the solutions on offer from The Parts Alliance through Hofmann, Tecalemit and Crypton.
