The recent Auto Trade Expo at Citywest Hotel & Exhibition Centre, Dublin proved a great success for workshop equipment specialists, Wheelcare Ireland Ltd, according to Managing Director Killian McNabb.

“We secured a major equipment deal with a nationwide main dealer network and a car rental firm so we are delighted with the outcome from the show,” Killian said.

He added: “Along with these excellent new deals, it was a great opportunity to meet many new customers and current ones from all over the country. The star of the show for us was without a shadow of a doubt the RAV 3D wheel alignment system. With units sold on the stand and many more to follow up, the RAV 3D system seems to be the wheel alignment system of choice. Our customers have sighted its lightening diagnosis speed and easy to use interface as the main draw over its competitors.”

The other big seller was the Truflex/ PANG T-PRO TPMS system. The T-PRO is a programmable valve suiting most cars on the road, fitted with TPMS. Within a few easy steps using the ATEQ VT56 you can programme the T-PRO valve to suit almost any car fitted with TPMS..

Killian says with tith the cost around half that of main dealer pricing the advantages are clear for tyre retailers and service centres.

He concluded: “We were very happy to meet many of our customers from TyreGo.ie, our online tyre repair materials and consumable website. TyreGo.ie has grown month on month to be the leader in supplying low cost, high quality tyre bay supplies nationwide and we were delighted to sign up many more customers at the show. A big thank you to all our customers for their continued support.”
