Toyota Ireland are rolling out a new concept designed to give garages and bodyshops access to genuine Toyota replacement parts at very competitive prices. Called Toyota TradePro the programme will initially focus on Dublin and the surrounding counties, before becoming available through the Toyota dealership nationwide.

With Toyota having been a dominant force in new vehicle sales for many decades there are huge numbers of Toyota vehicles on the road with many being serviced and repaired in the independent aftermarket. The TradePro programme is designed to encourage the garages and bodyshops working on these vehicles to engage with the Toyota dealer parts network and see the great value that is now on offer.

Glenn O’Reilly, Toyota Aftersales Commercial Manager, says the programme will initially concentrate on; service kits, clutch Kits, brake pads and discs, shock absorbers, batteries and service consumables, with special offer pricing on many popular items. He comments, "Many garages don’t realise that they can get genuine Toyota parts from their dealer at very competitive prices. When they buy the genuine article they are not only getting the complete peace of mind of knowing the part will be a perfect fit and match the quality of the original, they are also getting outstanding value for money.”

Glenn also believes that by using the Toyota dealer network garages can also save time and minimise ordering errors. He says, "Our dealer parts operations offer a high standard of service and have expert staff with full instant access to Toyota technical information. This means a garage can be fully confident that that the right parts are always selected and supplied for the job.”

By signing up to TradePro, garages and bodyshops will also receive access to regular special offers and promotional discounts, giveaways and competitions. To launch the programme Toyota is offering the chance to win some exclusive Gazoo Racing Team merchandise, in a free draw.
