MAHLE has revealed that UK motor factor SRS Autoparts’ garage customers will not accept anything other than their filtration product amid growing demand.
The Glasgow and Edinburgh-based motor factor has utilised MAHLE products for eight years now and has hailed the company’s range and technical support.
This coupled with overwhelming demand from garages has led the motor factor to invest in its availability of MAHLE filtration.
Stephen Hoolaghan, managing director of SRS Autoparts, explained: “In a time when the automotive aftermarket craves consistency of supply, we have independent garages that won’t accept anything other than MAHLE.
“Our sales of MAHLE products have grown year on year and we’re building something special with the brand in the area.”
SRS Autoparts began business in 1982 before moving into general factoring just over 10 years ago and membership of buying group Alliance Automotive.
Leading brands need to be closer to garages
Hoolaghan continued: “As we evolved the business, everyone kept saying that we needed MAHLE, and, so without hesitation, we adopted the brand.
“The product, customer service, technical support and range is high quality through and through and it’s great to be associated with the MAHLE brand.
SRS, with 50 staff and 36 vans, supplies the full range of MAHLE oil, air, fuel and cabin filters and believes leading brands need to be closer to garages.
MAHLE working with garages to improve supply
“We’ve been effective with workouts for customers and this really drives home the message of MAHLE.
“It’s also helping us to win business as not only independent garages but specialised workshops are requesting the brand from us.”
Jonathan Walker, MAHLE Aftermarket general manager aftermarket UK & Ireland, added: “SRS epitomises what we aim to achieve in partnership with our customers.
“The market is constantly changing, so our role as a leading player is to bring stability and consistency of supply to our motor factor partners and their customers.”
MAHLE is a global automotive parts manufacturer and supplier to motor factors.
