The past few years has seen most car manufacturers ditch the spare wheel in favour of compact, space saving puncture repair kits. These kits can dramatically cut vehicle weights meaning a boost to all important fuel efficiency.

Punctures are still an all too regular occurrence on our roads, so these kits are frequently used and need replacement. Up to now this has generally meant buying an original manufacturer kit, which can be expensive. The Terra-S range, now available from PartsforCars, means you can now get a like for like OE replacement kit at a competitive price. A range of kits is available, including mobile, standard and premium with each containing a bottle of tyre sealant and a mini compressor in a convenient boot storage case.

The kits mean that when a puncture takes place, the driver simply seals the tyre using the advanced latex based tyre sealant and reinflates using the compressor. No wheel change is necessary and depending on the kit the motorist can be back on the road, quickly and safely in as little as five minutes, with a strong temporary repair.

Terra-S is a leading supplier in this field providing OE kits for manufacturers such as BMW, VW, Honda, Toyota, Renault, Suzuki and Peugeot. This means the quality of the replacement kit is completely in line with the original, but it is available at a much more competitive price.

As well as replacement of original kits, the Terra-S kits also offer an excellent up-sell opportunity to motorists, who want the peace of mind of knowing they can repair a puncture without the hassle of having to change a wheel.

Sealant refill bottles, motorcycle kits and industrial preventative sealers are also available.   

The kits are available now from the PartforCars Motor Factor Group, which includes Southside Motor Factors. For more information call PartforCars on 01-897-9777 or visit www.partsforcars.ie.
