REPXPERT, Schaeffler’s free and popular garage portal, is providing genuine benefits to its growing user base and helping to improve technical knowledge in the independent garage sector.

REPXPERT is the place to access technical information on the LuK, FAG, INA and Ruville brands. It also provides a facility for technicians to cash-in their Schaeffler loyalty coupons for bonus gifts and to access a wealth of technical resources not directly related to Schaeffler products. There are now more than 68,000 active REPXPERT users, a figure that has doubled since further enhancements to the site were made almost 18 months ago. Once logged-in, members get immediate and free access to invaluable technical solutions, such as for example an LuK clutch fitting guide video or an INA timing belt product specification sheet.

Additional guidance for non-Schaeffler-related products and systems is only a click away as well, supplied in partnership with TecAlliance. By redeeming their bonus points, the portal provides technicians with vital advice on the likes of P-codes, service schedules, diagnostics, steering geometries and torque values.

Repair times, adjustment manuals, how to reset service interval conditions and key coding updates further complement the REPEXPERT offer.

Technical Services Manager, Malcolm Short, said: “We’ve noticed that technicians, who began by spending a little time on REPXPERT, are now realising that they can access excellent and invaluable material free of charge and, as a result, are spending significant periods of time exploring and learning.” He added, “Top tips from our experts manning the technical hotline, as well as exclusive Schaeffler news, only adds to the plethora of interesting resources designed to make life easier for workshop technicians.”

Free to register and access, REPXPERT is an excellent platform to explore Schaeffler’s extensive technical suite, product information and TecDoc powered catalogue system. Grages and technicians can sign up at www.repxpert.co.uk.
