SORTING THE MEN FROM THE BOYS

The announcement that the government will be putting more than £1billion of taxpayers money into road maintenance this year, just goes to show how bad the roads have become. While the damage that potholes and ‘traffic calming’ street furniture cause the UK vehicle parc is good news for the aftermarket, factors and their workshop customers need a steering & suspension supplier with a truly wide range to fully benefit, as the damage potentially affects any and every make and model in the country.

The First Line Group (FLG) is the UK’s largest steering & suspension supplier and with more than 6,850 stocked First Line branded part numbers in the range, its vehicle coverage humbles all others.

Along with this depth of range, the quality of the components is beyond reproach and with 95% plus availability and the backing of superb customer service, it is clear to see how FLG has achieved its leading position.

New-to-range is another important element in providing the aftermarket with the products it needs to compete with the franchised dealer and the FLG team is constantly updating and introducing new part numbers into the range to ensure that business is not lost from the independent sector.

To emphasise the extent of its commitment to NTR applications, it has introduced no fewer than 346 part numbers into the First Line range since the turn of the year. All the additions are important, but particularly notable references include Fiat Panda 2012- wishbones FCA7110 / FCA7111, BMW 1 series F20, 3 series, 4 series tie rod ends FTR5820 / FTR5821, Ford Street KA anti-roll bar bushes FSK7661K and Renault Clio IV 2012- tie rod ends FTR5800 / FTR5801 and lower ball joint FBJ5680. First Line only releases NTR information when the parts are physically in stock.

Finally, as if its position couldn’t get any better, it is envisaged that by June 2014 the First Line steering & suspension range will be in excess of 7,300 references! Proof once again why FLG is the UK market leader.
