Autoelectro’s Nick Hood has been speaking about the now widespread acceptance of the benefits of remanufacturing, but also believes there “still a job to do in terms of education” when it comes to some prospective customers.

Nick commented, “Some people appreciate what remanufacturing means and the quality of the product, while others still seem to think that it is inferior and not as good as new, and, as a company, we need to correct that perception. Furthermore, there is a great deal of talk about the environment at the moment, but too little is made of the positive environmental benefits remanufacturing brings.” He added, “Autoelectro’s product quality, technical knowledge, service and support all help in that education process, but there are still myths out there that need to be dispelled.”

Nick has also explained how he often uses common remanufacturing misconceptions to his advantage. “With an ever-diversifying and increasing range of parts required to support the modern vehicle parc, remanufacturing creates an opportunity to get the product to market quickly without needing to fulfil batch-size requirements. In many instances, remanufacturing may be the only realistic option for replacement parts.”

Autoelectro is the largest independent rotating electrics remanufacturer and supplier in the UK holding thousands of starter motors and alternators in stock, for immediate delivery.
