Consider the potential real cost of part worn tyres

By Padraic Deane  /  October 31, 2017
TyreSafe, the UK’s charity dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of correct tyre maintenance and the dangers of defective and illegal tyres, is currently reminding Britain’s motorists to make safety their primary concern when replacing their tyres.

Part worn tyres may appear to be the cheaper option but numerous studies and investigations by TyreSafe and Trading Standards have highlighted significant concerns as to their roadworthiness.

Autoelectro unveils live chat messenger

By John Loughran  /  October 27, 2017
Autoelectro, the UK’s largest independent remanufacturer of starter motors and alternators, has introduced upgrades to its popular live chat facility, as it aims to increase the communication channels between the company and technicians. Previously, users of Autoelectro’s online chat have had to turn away from their repair job and access their desktop computer before speaking to a technical expert; however, this has now been made easier because their queries can be answered from the palm of their hand by grabbing their smart phone or tablet.

New flowable filler from Teroson

By Padraic Deane  /  October 24, 2017
Henkel’s Plastic Padding and Teroson ranges already provide a one stop shop for bodywork repair but the choice is now even greater with the addition of a new flowable polyester filler, Teroson UP 270. It allows the application of thin layers to achieve the perfect finish before painting and is particularly good for skimming large areas. This smooth, grey-green filler is easy to mix and unlike many competitor products, does not create pin-holes when applied to the surface. It’s also easy to sand and blend feather-edging to provide the best possible foundation for painting. Teroson UP 270 is supplied in...
