LKQ Euro Car Parts has made a significant investment into bolstering its braking offering, ensuring that customers can benefit from access to the most extensive range of products, parts and consumables available on the market.
The move comes ahead of the beginning of MOT season, with data from the DVSA showing that faulty brakes account for 29% of dangerous MOT defects, making them the second most common cause behind tyres at 60%.
The new investment will improve stock profiling and availability of the business’ industry-leading braking range across its 280-branch network, allowing it to maintain rapid levels of service throughout times of peak demand.
This includes leading original equipment brands such as Brembo – for which LKQ Euro Car Parts has the largest stock holding and range in the UK – and aftermarket specialists such as Eicher, offering an affordable aftermarket solution.
LKQ Euro Car parts is also the exclusive supplier of Pagid braking products to the UK aftermarket and has been for the past 15 years. Pagid delivers unmatched quality and reliability developed throughout 75 years of service to the industry.
This expanded offering will be underpinned by LKQ Euro Car Parts’ industry-first wear and tear braking warranty, which covers customers against damage to the product that occurs during in ordinary use within the stated period.
Matt Robinson, B2B Trade Director at LKQ Euro Car Parts, said: “With braking issues accounting for such a high proportion of MOT defects, it’s incredibly important to us that our product range caters to all customers – whether they need a leading aftermarket product or original equipment. This investment means that not only can we offer this variety, but that customers can access it quickly and reliably and remain safe on the roads.
“Of course, we have complete confidence in our products and want our customers to feel this too, which is why we launched our unique wear and tear braking warranty. With no other factor offering the same level of protection, we’re continuing to position ourselves at the forefront of braking innovation and excellence.”
