Schaeffler has been one of the most active aftermarket companies in putting together and delivering a practical series of measures to help get garages back to work after the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Following on from the introduction of its innovative ‘BACK > ON TRACK’ workshop essentials packs, the company’s team of REPXPERTs are now back on the road providing hands-on training.

 
Technical Manager Alistair Mason and REPXPERTs, Lez Crossley and Bob Carter have been visiting garages delivering training focused on the latest double clutch transmissions, which is designed to equip workshops to tackle these complex systems with confidence. Alistair explained, “The double clutch transmission is growing in popularity with vehicle manufacturers, as it combines the best of both worlds, the comfort and ease of an automatic transmission with the performance and economy of a manual. As a result, they are going to be seen in the independent workshop in growing numbers. They are quite unlike a traditional system, so training is a must before technicians attempt to undertake repair work on them, but it is not rocket science!”

Alistair added, “This is where the REPXPERT team steps in to provide hands-on training, in line with strict social distancing and hygiene protocols. This, combined with the wealth of technical support available to members through the Schaeffler REPXPERT website – www.repxpert.co.uk – gives technicians the tools they need to develop the skills required to work on these systems effectively, and that’s what REPXPERT training is all about.”

Information on Schaeffler products, fitting instructions, labour times and much more can be found on the REPXPERT workshop portal at www.repxpert.co.uk – and also in the REPXPERT app available as a free download for all iOS and Android mobile devices.
