With NCT centres still working through a backlog after the COVID-19 pandemic led to many test postponements, ignition and sensor specialist NGK says that workshops need to make the most of a surge in demand for garage services, both pre and post test.
NGK says many vehicles will fail the NCT on emissions, leading to increased demand for Lambda sensor replacement and coinciding with a big demand for pre-winter servicing spark plug and glow plug replacement.
Mark Hallam, Marketing Manager, NGK Spark Plugs said, “For the past few months we have been predicting that workshops were in for a very busy Autumn as they deal with the increase in demand. Tests and pre-winter vehicle servicing demand, will lead to increased replacement of Lambda sensors for vehicles that fail the emission test and also spark and glow plug replacement as owners make sure their vehicles are in good order in preparation for the cold winter months.”
NGK Spark Plugs says workshops should be prepared by selecting and fitting its market-leading range of spark plugs, glow plugs and NTK Lambda sensors.
