New product introduction

TMI Remanufactured steering racks and pumps from BORG Automotive Remanufactured steering systems from BORG Automotive: when expertise ensures quality. Quality is the key word when it comes to steering systems as the latter ensures that the driver is in control of the vehicle and customer-perceived quality is exactly what the Danish remanufacturer BORG Automotive, the owner of brands such as Elstock, DRI and TMI, invests substantial effort, time and resources in achieving. The goal is ultimate quality at least on a par with OE parts. Nothing less. Our introduction of the TMI brand will see a selected range of steering racks and steering pumps that will cover a large portion of the car parc, meaning you can offer your customers sustainable, remanufactured product as good or better than new..

New to range

What is remanufacturing? Our TMI steering racks are remanufactured at their production site in Birmingham, UK. But what exactly does it mean that we remanufacture the products? It means that we renovate used parts or components in order to make them perform as good or even better than new OE parts. Besides, remanufacturing also benefits the environment, as the reman process uses less energy than producing new units. At the same time, material consumption is reduced.*

Bespoke fleet solutions by MPM

What is the MPM Fleet Analysis? The MPM Fleet Analysis is a unique tool that empowers ECP’s Branch and Account Managers to distinguish themselves in the market. This service enables garages to enhance efficiency, realize cost savings, and foster loyalty with ECP. By providing a comprehensive evaluation of lubricant and oil needs tailored to each garage’s specific fleet, the analysis offers a personalized approach that is unmatched in the industry.

How Does it Work? Our goal is to encourage Branch and Account Managers to actively engage with their garage customers to obtain a list of vehicles serviced in the past 12 months. This involves extracting data directly from the garage’s management system, which is typically a straightforward process. Once this data is collected and sent to support@mpmoil.co.uk along with necessary customer details, our unique algorithm creates a fully customised analysis based on the specific data provided (number of technicians, number of vehicles, storage capacity, etc.). The analysis is completed within 10 working days and is then presented to the garage by the Branch Manager or Account Manager, along with an MPM specialist. Benefits for the Workshop • Increased operational efficiency by ensuring they stock only what is needed • Create a better and more economical way of purchasing the goods • Enhanced customer satisfaction by using the correct and approved recommended oil for their customers vehicle • Strengthened loyalty and brand awareness, crucial in today’s competitive automotive market.

Monetary Benefits • Significant cost savings for garages

• Proven success rate, with our analysis leading to a 70% conversion rate, translating into increased revenue both for the garage and ECP.

How Can a Customer Get a Fleet Analysis?

The first step is for the Branch or Account Managers to ‘sell’ the analysis to the garage. They need to extract the necessary vehicle data from the garage’s management system and share it with us. This streamlined process is highly efficient and can be easily executed with most garage management systems.

Importance of maintaining the vehicle cooling system in the winter

Maintaining a vehicle’s cooling system is just as crucial in cold weather as it is in hot temperatures. While many associate cooling systems with heat management, they also play a vital role in preventing engine damage during colder months. Proper antifreeze concentration is essential to safeguard the engine from freezing, ensuring that coolant continues to flow smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, a well-maintained cooling system helps regulate engine temperature, optimizing fuel combustion and overall performance. Cold weather can expose vulnerabilities in a neglected cooling system, leading to issues such as frozen radiators or cracked hoses. Regular maintenance, including checking coolant levels and the condition of hoses and belts, is paramount to preventing costly repairs and ensuring the reliable operation of the vehicle, even in chilly conditions.

What is a Heater Motor: A heater motor, also known as a blower motor, is a crucial component in a vehicle’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Its primary function is to circulate air through the heating elements, allowing the system to produce warm air that is then distributed throughout the interior of the vehicle. When the heater is turned on, the blower motor activates and draws in air, which passes over the heated elements, warming it before being directed into the cabin through vents. This process helps maintain a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle during cold weather conditions. The heater motor plays a vital role in ensuring efficient and consistent heating.
