Tecdoc updates Tyredata

TecDoc launched the Tyredata option to its Catalog parts identification system in May 2011 and it has reportedly been well received by many of its Web Shop customers. However, TecDoc has now added extra functionality so users can search by tyre size as well as by the vehicle.

Tyredata was originally developed to provide fast fits, workshops, factors and car dealers with a single source electronic catalogue that would efficiently identify the original equipment (OE) tyre fitment for a specific vehicle. As with many of the replacement parts supplied throughout the aftermarket, individual tyre manufacturers produce their own catalogues for their specific brands, which although they may contain some cross-reference information, don’t directly identify the OE tyre.

As one of the country’s major starter motor and alternator suppliers, Wood Auto says it is now growing its range of consumable products and increasing its reputation for quality and availability. It says workshops can find a host of products to allow them to complete their work and finish the job professionally.
