Toyota Ireland has reported a very positive reaction to its TradePro programme since its introduction in October. Initially launched in Dublin and the surrounding counties, TradePro is a concept geared toward providing garages and bodyshops with access to competitively priced genuine Toyota replacement parts.

Toyota Aftersales Commercial Manager, Glenn O’Reilly says, "We have been delighted at how garages and bodyshops have re-engaged with their local Toyota Dealership and have been keen to see what is on offer. Many have been very surprised by the great value prices that are available.  They were not aware that they could have the peace of mind of fitting genuine Toyota parts at such economical prices and dealers have seen a significant increase in business as a result.” He adds, "With Toyota genuine quality a garage knows the part will be a perfect fit and match to the original quality component on the vehicle. This means they can fit a part with complete confidence and with the excellent value available from Toyota dealers, this also makes great business sense.”

The TradePro programme covers; service kits, clutch kits, brake pads and discs, shock absorbers, batteries and service consumables, for the many thousands of Toyota cars on Ireland roads. The programme also includes regular special offers, promotions and giveaways as an added bonus to trade buyers.

With the success of the TradePro programme in its initial target area, Glenn says it is now set to go nationwide in early 2018. He also stresses that while the programme has not been fully rolled out right across Ireland, every Toyota dealer can always provide garages and bodyshops with very competitive prices on full range of genuine Toyota parts and panels.
