GSF Car Parts recently hosted an event for local garages at its Leamington branch, attracting more than 70 customers.
Supporting suppliers included Banner Batteries, BTN Turbo and CATACLEAN who were on hand throughout to update curious technicians on the latest developments.
Emma Tiernan, GSF’s regional sales director for the Midlands and West, said: “We’ve had lots of garages thanking us for an enjoyable and informative evening whilst LuK kindly took time to compliment us on the professionalism of the event as well as the high turnout.”
LuK presented a technical seminar on direct-shift gearbox technology, which uses an electronically controlled dual-clutch manual gearbox without a conventional clutch pedal combined with automated controls.
GSF say the profit opportunity for independents is significant but add that they should be directly trained by LuK, who currently only supply approved garages.
The evening included a BBQ, drinks, an I-Pad prize-draw as well as exclusive deals from Angry Jester.
The motor factor is currently planning further events and garages are advised to look out for details at their local branch – to find your nearest, click ‘more details’ below.
