The owners of Freeway Exhaust and Tyre Centre in Tunbridge Wells were enthusiastic about receiving Klarius Garage Accreditation.

David Scotton, garage owner, said: “As a family business, we want to make the garage welcoming to all, so we make an extra effort to provide the utmost in quality service work, advice and components.

“Like many garages we purchase a number of Klarius emissions parts through Euro Car Parts, which is typically fast and convenient as well as providing a degree of reassurance on product quality.

“What seemed different about this accreditation was the attention to detail in the materials we received and the really excellent training.

“As an experienced service garage our technicians are highly competent and knowledgeable, but even they will admit to learning a lot on the two day course.

“Car technology is changing all the time and by doing the training we know our knowledge is ahead of the curve.

“Sourcing the correct emissions component that offers proper fitment is ideal for us because it significantly reduces the time the car spends on the ramp, so having visited the Klarius factory in Cheadle it’s clear to see the quality that goes in to them.”

The Klarius Accredited Garage Scheme was originated to tackle trends such as the fitting of non-compliant exhausts and poorly-functioning budget parts such as CAT and DPFs, while also promoting garages that offer a premium service, facilities and products.

‘Positive experience’

Shaun Knight, a technician at Freeway, recently passed level one of the course, which covered exhausts, CATs, DPFs and additive systems.

“There was a lot to learn and I found it a very positive experience,” he said.

“I was happy to pass the course with a high mark, so I will be definitely taking the opportunity to take Level 2 in future.”

David concludes: “It’s great to have this kind of support from an emissions supplier, other competitors don’t offer these kind of benefits to my business.

“When a supplier lets me down, I tend not to deal with them again.

“Some will try to tell you it’s a problem with a customer’s vehicle rather than the component, which for an honest garage business is an attitude I don’t need.

“My customer satisfaction is paramount, so good quality and service is what makes me happy, which is my experience of what Klarius provides.”
