TV garage star kickstarts new REPXPERT video series

24 September 2024  

Schaeffler’s all-new REPXPERT ‘Wrenches and Wisdom’ video series has been launched with a live training event hosted by Colin Denton, star of TV’s Classic Car Garage and chief executive of the North London Garages Group Training Association.

The event, held at the association’s Enfield site, is part of a series focused on apprenticeships and offering opportunities for UK garage owners and technicians to share their stories and experiences with the up-and-coming mechanics of the future.

During the morning session, apprentices and trainee vehicle technicians learned about transmission systems and double clutches from senior REPXPERT Alistair Mason.

This was followed by a laser tools showcase, followed by a live 2CT installation demonstration. Product specialist Brad Adams delivered an INA belt drive presentation and a live timing belt system replacement demonstration.

The delegates were also presented with a special edition Laser X REPXPERT torque wrench on the day, courtesy of Schaeffler, along with a Laser Tools goody bag from Tool Connection.

“Last week’s training day set the tone for what the Wrenches and Wisdom series will offer the sector,” said Matt Selby, sales and marketing director at Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket UK.

“The future of the aftermarket depends on garage owners and vehicle technicians keeping up-to-date with the latest products, tools and training in order to compete with the main dealers.”

Schaeffler encourages aftermarket professionals to stay updated with its latest news via its website.
