Motor traders can now access a wider range of all-makes wheel bearings from XPart as the company launches its new range of innovative, high quality products from SNR Bearings. XPart has completely revamped its all-makes bearings offering to focus exclusively on SNR’s OE-specification bearings, resulting in a 40 percent increase in all-makes bearing part numbers available from the firm together with improved levels of availability.
“Selecting SNR Bearings as our all-makes wheel bearings supplier allows us to offer our customers new, technologically advanced products while maintaining the same high quality,” comments Steve Godrich, All-Makes Manager, XPart. “Our electronic parts catalogue has been updated with all the latest products from SNR, including its groundbreaking active sensor bearings, which allow the active measurement of wheel spin and simplify the wheel and hub assembly, avoiding the need to strip the hub down to access the bearing.”
SNR Bearings has a strong reputation for quality and is renowned for its capacity to innovate, regularly updating its product ranges with new technologies. Its active sensor bearing (ASB®) technology can be applied to any type of wheel bearing and offers significant advantages in terms of vehicle comfort and safety. The company supplies bearings to many major car manufacturers and is popular in the motor trade for its reliable and durable products.
The announcement is a further sign of XPart’s commitment to developing its All-Makes range with high quality products from market leading, proprietary brand suppliers. In addition to distributing its all-makes parts via a nationwide network of wholesalers, XPart has also devised an all-makes programme, which allows franchise dealers to establish their own local factoring operation with minimal investment. The programme is designed to offer dealers a means of maximising the potential of their parts department, with a view to increasing their parts sales per customer. XPart supports dealers with range planning expertise, technical and marketing support.
“Dealerships can take advantage of existing resource within their parts department, such as vans, staff and storage space, to supply a wider range of high quality parts to local customers,” explains Godrich. “This allows them to run a profitable factoring operation with new and existing local independents customers.”
