J&S Automotive has announced that it is now offering the complete range of Gates aftermarket solutions, featuring first to market and late model coverage on systems such as accessory drives belts, engine timing, cooling, power transmission components, water pumps, hoses and more. 

As a major original equipment supplier, Gates works with 34 vehicle manufacturers worldwide and brings that same level of quality, reliability and performance to its OE-equivalent aftermarket parts. Gates parts are designed specifically for the OE quality and performance requirements of a vehicle and as such are the first preference of automotive professionals all over Ireland.

Gates also prides itself on supplying a range of complete aftermarket solutions that is in tune with the latest market needs. This means it features many first-to-market items and late model coverage not available from other aftermarket suppliers. The range also offers very wide application coverage across all types of vehicle and backs this up with ongoing support, in-depth training for professional technicians and convenient tools that simplify the replacement process.

The Gates range also features a wide selection of specialist repair kits that include all of the required components to complete a best practice repair. For example Gates PowerGrip timing belt kits include all the required fitting components and a water pump to make the repair easier for the technician and to give the motorist long lasting peace of mind. 

In recent years, the focus on the need to reduce emissions has led to a transition to hybrid and full electric vehicles. This has brought about the advent of additional and more complex cooling requirements and electrically driven replacement of mechanical drive systems with higher powertrain compactness and power density. Gates, E-Start Micro-V belts serve as a core component of next generation starter generator systems, promoting increased fuel efficiency and smaller and virtually silent operation.

Full information on Gates aftermarket products can be found in online catalogues and also through the Gates mobile app. This provides comprehensive product information and application data to make product identification quick and easy, no matter where a technician might be. It also provides access to a wealth of technical and fitting information. The Gates automotive catalogue app is free to download from the Apple and Google play stores.
