Autogem enhances repair solution

Autogem has inflated its aftermarket tyre safety offering to coincide with National Tyre Safety Month, courtesy of an improved 6mm combination plug patch solution. The upgrades begin with the packaging, which now includes a QR code linking to a product training video. Two ‘cut-out and keep’ guides can also be detached from the box and used to help identify safe and repairable areas of tread as well as tyre injury angle of penetration.

A cube design permits the storage of 40 patches in a single box and protects patches from unnecessary exposure to the environment, inadvertent contamination or premature ageing. The combi-plug patches enable technicians to perform tyre repairs that conform to British Standards.

Safety-driven upgrades

“We are constantly innovating and upgrading our portfolio, particularly when it relates to motorists’ safety. Ensuring that they get from ‘A to B’ safely and driving industry standards are Autogem commitments that we are passionate about,” says Prashant Chopra, managing director of Autogem. “Our upgraded 6mm plug patch solution fits in with this philosophy, thanks to new packaging and training content. With October being National Tyre Safety Month, these improvements arrive at the perfect time.

“As is always the case with any of our products, we offer additional free training and support whenever our customers need it, either on the telephone or online, which is in addition to the QR code video on our packaging,” Chopra continues. “This training is openly accessible to everyone because we feel technicians should not have to pay for something as safety critical as correct puncture repair training.”
