“Aftermarket has no excuses over window regs opportunity” says Welland, now that the WAI range is available same day throughout the UK from Marathon Warehouse Distribution.

Bognor Regis, England 2018: WAI is warning the independent automotive aftermarket that there are no excuses in not taking advantage of the supply and fit of replacement window regulators after the company signed a new supply agreement on the product with its same-day distribution partner, Marathon Warehouse Distribution.

As vehicles begin to exit their manufacturer’s warranty and look to independent garages for cost-effective vehicle maintenance and repair, WAI has been working to focus minds on the sales potential of its window regulator product range. Now, with the same day availability through Marathon, WAIglobal UK managing director, Richard Welland, believes there are opportunities for the market.

“We’ve heard it first hand from independent garages that they not aware that their local motor factor can supply window regulators, instead opting to use the dealership. This has to change and with our OE-quality range available, garages can really take advantage of a premium product supplied on a same day service through their motor factor.”

Welland added: “Through our attendance at customer, buying group and Automechanika events and our on ongoing work with motor factors and Marathon, we’re going to make the market fully aware of the ‘untapped’ opportunities for the supply and fit of window regulators in the aftermarket.”
